Innovating high-temperature composites solutions for aerospace

Accudyne Systems (Newark, Del., U.S.), a custom automation equipment manufacturer, is developing custom equipment solutions to address manufacturing challenges associated with novel material systems in the aerospace industry. There are many active programs in the company’s laboratory, including ceramic matrix composite (CMC) tape placement, carbon-carbon pitch infusion and complex-curved thermoplastic component preform manufacture.

The Accudyne Systems team continues its innovations in composite manufacturing technology development and the integration wave. Building on its history of supporting primary and secondary aircraft structures as well as rotating composite component manufacturing, Accudyne says it is also working on the next generation of wing and fuselage structure manufacturing solutions for emerging platforms. New-start programs are benefiting from the company’s experience in automated tape/material laying, stringer forming, automated compaction and ultrasonic trimming — all of which is wrapped up into integrated manufacturing cells.
