JULY 2015 42 CompositesWorld SAMPE 2015 Product Showcase » FIBER-REINFORCED THERMOPLASTICS Chopped carbon fiber/ thermoplastic prepreg New at the Web Industries (Marlborough, MA, US) booth: A high- quality, chopped carbon fber/thermoplastic prepreg, available with PA 6, PEEK or PEKK resin. This high-precision, formatted thermo- plastic chop is available to compression molders in widths and lengths matched to specifcation-driven needs. Composite part manufacturers can use these chopped materials in high-performance compres- sion molding of net shapes, to reduce weight and cost compared to machined and assembled metal designs. Web Industries says the product eliminates the need for fabricators to invest in non-core assets to support market growth. www.webindustries.com A small sampling of what CW saw in Baltimore (see SAMPE Conference coverage in "CW Trends," on p. 14). » PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Wi-fi sensor-based data collection ZyynTek (a division of EmergenTek, South Jordan, UT, US) has devel- oped a turnkey wi-f sensor-based data collection system for cleanroom and factory-foor process control. Its small sensors can be programmed to collect critical data that the user desires, such as temperature and humidity, open doors, diferential pressure and more. The sensors are then deployed at key locations, and the data is automatically collected. The data is accessible by mobile phone or iPad, and also can be sent to a computer where it is logged and archived in a report format. Sensors have a one-year battery life, and the monitoring system reportedly can save signifcant time for inspectors, because they eliminate manual monitoring and clipboard logging. www.zyyntek.com Matrix Composites, Inc. 275 Barnes Boulevard Rockledge, Florida 32955 321.633.4480 sales@matrixcomp.com www.matrixcomp.com Enginuity en·gin·u·i·ty - The quality of being clever, original and inventive with the fabrication of jet engine composites.
