Our thermoplastic compression molding technologies are designed to meet the evolving demands of modern aerospace applications. By seamlessly integrating heating and forming into a single, high-efficiency cycle, these advanced systems deliver faster production, greater precision, and superior process control.
Thermoplastic composite sidewall panels and reverse thrusters, for example, can be created using Variotherm, a process that embeds thermal compression cycles into the mold, or by preheating blanks in an IR oven before rapidly transferring them to the press, where mold closure must occur within five seconds to maintain optimal quality. This process is especially suited for high-performance thermoplastic composites.
