This is a popular White Paper written by the CompuDAS team. Originally published in High Performance Composites magazine and later at www.compositesworld.com.

Abstract: Sophisticated control systems or process monitors can be installed on most ovens and autoclaves used to cure composite materials/ A modern system combines control, monitoring, and documentation in a single unit. The results is greater process automation, improved quality & batch to batch consistency, and permanent unalterable storage of process records to meet the most stringent requirements for demanding applications. This paper describes the benefits of upgrading to a new control system or process monitor and provides guidelines for choosing the best system.

Composite materials are gaining increased acceptance as components of systems that depend on their strength, light weight, and durability that surpasses the properties of conventional materials. Strict adherence to process parameters and quality control have been essential in order to achieve that level of acceptance.

Customers in the aerospace industry and elsewhere are demanding documented evidence that parts have been cured to exacting recipes specified by the customers. Manufacturers that cannot meet these requirements are finding themselves shut out of lucrative markets for high performance …
