SEPTEMBER 2017 48 CompositesWorld SHOW PREVIEW Fiber-converting tension control Web tension-control specialist Montalvo Corp. (Gorham, ME, US) is demonstrating single-web and multi-tow tension-control solutions designed for composite manufac- turing processes, including prepreg, pultrusion, filament winding, converting and more. These products include a rede- signed Automated Tension Standing (ATS), Load Cells, Tension Controllers, Tension Indicators, Sensors and more. Designed for use in multi-tow applications, the ATS is a drop-in system for existing and new applications, providing a new tensioning zone for every tow of material prior to processing. The newly rede- signed ATS now provides easier setup and threading to help maximize production uptime. The system generates uniform tension on each tow automatically and continuously, and it is customizable to meet the needs of a variety of applications. For single-web applications, and/or after individual tows have formed a single web, Montalvo is highlighting its single-web tension control components, used in prepreg, pultrusion, hand-lay, laminating and converting applications. These products include load cells, tension controllers, tension indicators, sensors, safety chucks and more. Booth G65. www.montalvo.com Metering, mixing and dispensing technology Myers Mixers (Bell, CA, US) is featuring information on its mixing and dispersing equipment for many processes, ranging from simple blending to complex compounding. Myers Mixers offers a complete line of custom, vertical-shaft mixing equipment and also offers consultation services designed to guide customers toward mixing process optimization. Booth Q54. www.myersmixers.com Sheet-form CNTs for composites N12 Technologies Inc. (Cambridge, MA, US) is showing its NanoSitch sheet products, featuring vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs), which add toughness, impact resistance and fatigue tolerance to composites, enabling lighter, thinner laminates for prepreg or resin film layups. N12 Technologies has recently announced a partnership with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI, Dayton, OH, US) to enable increased production capacity and new wider-format products, which will be on display. Booth N12. www.n12technologies.com Resin-infusion based repair kit NONA Composites LLC (Dayton, OH, US) is releasing its newest product line, the NONA Infusion Repair Kit, which is designed to provide everything needed for a fast, permanent, no-mess repair of composite parts. Recent work for NASA by NONA Composites and the University of Dayton Trusted for Material Dispensing Systems Metering, Mixing & Dispense Equipment Solutions for Composite and Aerospace Processes Nordson Sealant Equipment has been supporting the aerospace, aircraft, helicopter and tier-1 assembly industry build quality products for over 25 years. sealantequipment.com/composites | +1.734.459.8600
