| Hot Bonder Navigation Screen | | | | To start the composite repair (or metal doubler) a simple mouse click enables you access to functional screens to define preferences, check for all sensors, define or select a program or exit. (Click image to enlarge ) | | |
|
| | Hot Bonder Sensor Screen | | | | The sensor screen is used in composite repair initially to validate communication between the hot bonder data acquisition and the computer. Subsequently the screen shows the 'soft' metrics of thermocouple readings, RH%, vacuum at the source, vacuum at the bag (2), and vacuum at the cells. | | |
|
| | Hot Bonder Heat Settings Screen | | | The heat settings screen provides facility for programming the recording programs and annotating and recording images of the composite repair/cure and to support instructions, recording and training. Programming to single, double or triple ramp composite repair profiles, the user defines the heater grouping. A group can be from one heater (cell or blanket) with one control to a number of blankets with supporting cells or cells alone as in our patented applied technique that doesn't require blankets.As many as 16 controls can be provided on one cure. As well, as many as 24 cells can grouped in multiples or they can be controlled individually. They can support a heater blanket on stringers or form their own 'blanket'. The left side of the screen is reserved for cell programming and the right side for auxilliary/blanket heating of the composite repair. Heater blankets can be provided with a duty cycle to provide a multitude of power densities. Heater blankets are assigned a MaxOut TC and a control TC. Up to 32 TCs can be set with an alarm or given a MaxOut setting to temporarily shut power off to the specific heater. | | |
|
| | Hot Bonder Cure Screen | | | The cure screen provides a visual representation of the programmed ramp/soak and fall and all connected thermocouples. TCs are listed as CTC (control), ATC (Auxilliary), MTC (Monitor). Thermocouples can be defined to lists to view particular thermocouples as required. Power on and power off to each heater is demonstrated, alarms are sounded and recorded and the Max temp to each heater can be adjusted during the cure to allow user adjustments. Your Zimac hot bonder also permits adjustment to power %duty during the cure/composite repair. | | |
