Voetsch develops air tempering ovens for carbon fibre aviation parts

Precise process parameters and reliability are of great importance for the production of high-quality carbon fibre composite materials (CFRP) aviation structures especially for bigger parts. Also for this application, Voetsch Industrietechnik offers a range of customised versions with inner dimensions exceeding 500cm × 500cm × 850cm.

For thermal treatment of aviation structures made from carbon fibre composite materials, a perfect spatial and temporal temperature deviation is required. Voetsch Industrietechnik says that its ovens for the aerospace industry allow only ±2K difference at rated temperature and therefore can be listed in class 1 according to AMS 2750 E. The temperature range is up to 450°C allowing even curing processes for thermoplastics like PEEK.

Multiple control zones result in superior temperature parameters such as heating up rate and changes in the sample and material. An accurate control function increases product quality and prevents overheating. A sensor break does not result in part damage through reliable heat technology.
