Vacuum Bag Only Prepreg Production Solution
Plan VBO manufacturing with an out-of-autoclave-qualified prepreg, controlled bagging and an oven cure.
Build the Process Around Your Product
Plan VBO manufacturing with an out-of-autoclave-qualified prepreg, controlled bagging and an oven cure.
Product and material first
Start with the finished-product drawing, material system and acceptance requirements. The process route and equipment configuration are assessed together.
Capacity across the whole process
Define output with preparation, forming/reaction, curing, handling and inspection included. The slowest stage and product changes determine practical line capacity.
The supply package can coordinate material handling, vacuum, oven, tooling and inspection interfaces. Liquid metering is optional only where a separate resin stage is specified.
From Preparation to Qualified Product
A planning sequence for the specified route. Final settings and acceptance conditions are established through material and part review.
Choose a VBO-qualified system
Review prepreg data, laminate thickness, tool design and acceptance requirements.
Prepare material and layup
Control storage/out-time and place the specified ply stack.
Bag and verify vacuum
Arrange bagging consumables and verify leak performance before cure.
Information Needed to Configure the Line
Provide these inputs so the equipment range, interfaces and validation plan can be defined.
| Design input | Information required |
|---|---|
| Material | VBO qualification, storage/out-time and cure schedule |
| Laminate/tool | Ply stack, thickness and thermal behavior |
| Vacuum/oven | Leak criteria, monitoring and temperature uniformity |
| Acceptance | Void, dimension and part-test requirements |
Coordinate the Equipment With the Process
Evaluate repeatability, handling and acceptance across the full workflow.
Material-specific configuration
Component circuits, thermal control, mixing and receiving equipment are matched to the approved chemistry and processing window.
Defined interfaces
The supply package can coordinate material handling, vacuum, oven, tooling and inspection interfaces. Liquid metering is optional only where a separate resin stage is specified.
Documented acceptance
The proposal defines trials, process records, inspection responsibilities and product-specific acceptance conditions.
