UAVOS delivered a high-performance Oven-500 composite curing oven to a
manufacturer in the aircraft industry. To meet the customers’ needs, this oven was
designed to cure synthetic and composite materials of complex contours, shapes, and
sizes while providing fast heat-up rates and cycle times. UAVOS’ technology helped the
business generate lightweight composites with extreme strength that meet the most
demanding applications.
The curing process for composite materials includes bagging and putting them under a
vacuum while being cured. The electrically heated Oven-500 is rated for a maximum
temperature of 220°C. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 466 mm wide x 2050 mm
deep x 502 mm high.
Top-loading designs incorporate a fully open upper aperture for product entry. UAVOS
Oven-500 comes with special side-mounted electric heaters. Highly efficient circulation fans
deliver dual airflow, distributing air evenly throughout the entire working space.
A temperature controller and redundant high-limit controller provide precise temperature
control and over-temperature protection. This control system has a multitude of capabilities,
such as serial communication port, ramp/soak programming, as well as data collection. All
the data can be downloaded via a protocol Modbus.
“Our customers are seeking technologies that improve the quality of their products and
increase efficiency,” explains Aliaksei Stratsilatau, CEO of UAVOS. “UAVOS is
committed to offering advanced solutions to composite parts manufacturers and developing
high-performance curing ovens to meet their specific composite process requirements,”
Aliaksei adds.
