Heatcon Composite Systems (Seattle, Wash., U.S.) is presenting the HCS9200B dual-zone hot bonder and HCS9306R multizone composite repair system.

The company is a global manufacturer and supplier of aerospace composite repair equipment, providing a full range of hot bonders, accessories, technical and training services, and materials for the repair of composite structures. Heatcon has been involved in the support of advanced composite repairs since 1978, committing its time and product development to improving these processes.

Heatcon specialize in working with aircraft manufacturers (OEMs), defense organizations, commercial airlines and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities by providing them with the expertise and tools to repair composite flight controls and other main aircraft parts. Its experience and knowledge enables Heatcon to continuously provide innovative solutions for the advancement of composite repair technology through products like the HCS9200B and HCS9306R systems.

The HCS9200B hot bonder is a compact, dual-zone composite repair system engineered for precision, portability and ease of use. Featuring digital control of temperature, vacuum and cure time, it ensures accurate, consistent results for critical composite resin and adhesive curing applications. Each zone can operate independently or in conjunction, offering maximum versatility for complex repair scenarios. It delivers reliable performance in both hangar and field environments.

The HCS9306R multizone composite repair system is a mobile, rack-mounted solution engineered for precision and versatility in complex composite curing applications. Featuring six independently controlled zones, it delivers accurate, synchronized heat management for large-area or thermally challenging repairs. Zones can operate independently following separate cure profiles, or in coordination under a common cure cycle — offering maximum flexibility for diverse repair scenarios. The HCS9306R streamlines shop and manufacturing repairs with scalable, high-performance control in one integrated system.
