Atlas Composites says it has partnered with ASC Process Systems, now with a UK office based in Poole, to upgrade its autoclave processes at its 25,000ft2 composites manufacturing facility.
A five figure investment in plant sees Atlas Composites become ASC’s first UK customer to benefit from its Composite Processing Control (CPC) software and control systems retrofit, something which Atlas Composites managing director, Shaun Moloney is confident will provide added value to his customers. “Installing new CPC systems to Atlas Composites’ existing autoclaves will ensure our operators, and consequently our customers, have greater accuracy, reliability, and a greatly enhanced audit trail - all of which are key drivers for our growing aerospace customer base,” he stated. The CPC Autoclaves will be used to cure composite components for commercial and military aerospace, satellite communications, composites for motor sport and unmanned aerial systems components amongst others. ASC Process Systems UK managing director, Paul Parson said: “ASC have been supporting the aerospace composites industry with autoclaves and control systems for more than 20 years for companies such as BAE Systems, Boeing and Lockheed Martin among others. We are delighted to add Atlas Composites, UK leaders in composites manufacturing, to such a distinguished list.” www.atlascomposites.com Caption: Atlas Composites managing director Shaun Moloney (left) is pictured with Boyd Read, director of business development at ASC Process Systems
