MBB/FXB – Mobile-bridge and fixedbridge machines that incorporate special solutions, such as stack sheet nested machining for the aerospace sector, to meet specific customer requirements. > Stand J6 www.cms.it www.crayvalley.com Innovative vacuum moulding and vacuum infusion products Diatex specializes in technical fabrics and supplies all types of bagging materials for vacuum moulding, vacuum infusion, RTM and RTM Light technologies. To develop its research activities, the company recruited specialists and reinvested a significant percentage of its turnover in the implementation of new processes. Diatex designed a special range of vacuum bagging materials for prepreg and hand laid-up composite curing. The Vacuopeel multilayer system was created to facilitate the application of bagging materials during the drape moulding process. Diatex is constantly developing new solutions to increase the High-speed machining of composites and aluminium With over thirty years of experience in the manufacture of special machines and a decade of success in the aerospace, automotive, marine, moulds and models markets, CMS offers an extremely competitive range of 5-axis CNC machining centres for high-speed machining of composite materials, aluminium and light alloys, meeting altogether a wide array of production requirements. The range includes: Ares – A compact portal structure for the production of medium-sized parts with axis travels ranging from 2,600x1,500x1,200 mm to 6,000x2,600x1,200 mm. It combines stiffness, accuracy, safety, easy access, dust and noise reduction. Poseidon – A portal structure that stands out for the huge working envelopes, combined with very high accuracy and repeatability. Axis travels range from 2,600x2,600x1,300 mm to over 60,000x10,000x5,000 mm. This structure is extremely competitive when machining large parts that require substantial material removal. Cronus – A last-generation portal with double motor on the linear axis and direct drive on the rotating axes. This is a state-of-the-art machine in terms of New range of vinyl ester resins Cray Valley has launched a new range of vinyl ester resins that address the traditional foaming and curing concerns associated with conventional bisphenol-A and novolac epoxy type vinyl ester chemistry. Building on over 30 years of success with the existing Epovia® vinyl ester products, the innovative Epovia Kayak® series offers high corrosion resistance and improved physical product performance. When compared to conventional vinyl esters, it also offers a far lighter colour in liquid state, castings and laminates. Its ease of handling and cure control are provided by the use of commercial cobalt and amine promoters. The resulting low foam reaction with MEKP allows the production of high-quality, improvedcure and air-free composites for the anticorrosion chemical and construction industries. Where high clarity is required, Epovia Kayak® can offer bespoke opportunities. For example, its improved cure, high heat resistance and clarity lead towards tooling applications. Compared to conventional vinyl ester tools, resin flow within closed mould processing can be productivity of market users. Infuplex, a product developed for vacuum infusion, is the perfect answer as it consists of a bleeder and a separate film. Diatex designed the PA80AD adhesive peel ply with a view to meeting environmental protection and human health concerns. To eliminate VOC No44 October 2008 / Special JEC Composites Asia 57
