ASC has always worked closely with our customers, such as Boeing, ATK, GKN, Lockheed, Northrop, Vought and other, to co-develop Composite Bonding Autoclave and control system technology. Because of this partnership, ASC's products always meet and exceed the needs of the world's aerospace buyer.

Experts at Composite Bonding Autoclave specifications

ASC has been meeting and exceeding customer specifications for decades. We are experts at the intricacies of Boeing's D6-49327, AMS 2750. and dozens of other customer Composite Bonding Autoclave and material specifications.

Superior controls

Every ASC Econoclave Composite Bonding Autoclaves comes equipped with CPC, the world's leading control system for Composite Bonding Autoclave processing. CPC (Composite Processing Control), was created by ASC in 1988 and over the last 20 years has grown into the most comprehensive, most reliable, and most power solution for Composite Bonding Autoclave curing. The package is improved every month with new features and functions to meet the changing production and laboratory requirements of our customers.

High air flow = improved production rates

ASC's Composite Bonding Autoclaves are designed to provide the quickest turnaround for each production load of composite parts. Production cycle times are directly dependent on ability of the Composite Bonding Autoclave to transfer thermal energy into the part load. This transfer can be improved by high air-speeds and uniform flow within the Composite Bonding Autoclave environment.

Superior vacuum to your parts

Part quality is directly related to the quality of the vacuum that is delivered to each of the bagged parts. ASC's Composite Bonding Autoclave s incorporate innovative vacuum systems and vacuum control technology to supply reliable levels to each of the curing parts.

Our Composite Bonding Autoclaves not only control and monitor the vacuum level to each part, but the CPC control system performs automatic leak tests prior to and during the run. Each leak test generates a report that becomes part of the permanent data record. Also, our CPC software includes a 6-step pre-run integrity check process to test and verify that the vacuum system, parts, and part attachments are properly situated before starting the run. This process insures the lowest risk to your expensive part load.

We've built the largest Composite Bonding Autoclave in the world

ASC is proud to have designed and built the largest Composite Bonding Autoclave in the world. The unit owned by Boeing Charleston and is used to cure the fuselage sections for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The unit stands 30 ft. diameter x 75 ft. long.
