| Hot Bonder Thermal Results | | | | High quality composite repairs result from the the typical Zimac hot bonder performance of +/- 10F around the target temperature. | | |
|
| | CF -18 Vertical Stabilizer | | | | A target heat survey 2ft x 3ft with a uniform profile of 250F +/- 10 F was achieved above the five major aluminum stringers on this V-Stab | | |
|
| | CF-18 V-Stab Thermal Results | | | | Notwithstanding the very long and closely spaced stringers very uniform temperature is achieved in the heat survey using the Zimac hot bonder for this composite repair. | | |
|
| | Shaping Heat | | | The Zimac hot bonder can control an aluminum layer, cut from sheet stock, and placed just under the bag and above the patch providing a quick method to obtain your cure. Cells are positioned on predefined centres; a uniform temperature profile is easily achieved of any size or shape desired. This is quickly done without resorting to buying a special blanket. Illustrated here is 12 inch diameter aluminum tile providing a resulting uniform temperature across a simulated 10 inch diameter patch on the the Carbon Graphite/Nomex fan cowl piece. | | |
|
| | F16 Fin Thermal Survey with Zimac P-32 Hot Bonder | | | A thermal survey of the F16 fin with a 16 x 16 inch tile/caul and four strip heaters providing perimeter heat on the tile, cells on stringers around the simulated patch and cells on the rear side produced a 250 Fahrenheit +/- 10 degree across the 14 x 14 inch simulated repair.
