Carbolite oven enables F1 team to accelerate the development of body parts and aerofoils
Carbolite
A high-specification large general-purpose oven from Carbolite is helping a Formula One (F1) team based in Milton Keynes to accelerate the development of component parts such as carbon-fibre composite body parts and aerofoils.
The customised LGP3-1500 oven is enabling the team to implement the post-curing drying of component moulds and moisture extraction for adhesives used in a variety of parts and aerofoils.
The oven is intended to ensure reproducibility in the curing cycles by incorporating a controller option that enables five programmable temperature profiles to be stored and recalled and also includes RS232 communications.
The 1,500-litre-capacity oven has an operating temperature range of 50°C to 300°C.
