Description
The Louisiana Air National Guard (LA ANG) is seeking a Dual Zone Bonder, specifically the Heatcon HCS9200B DUAL ZONE HOT BONDER-COMPOSITE REPAIR SYSTEM. The system must have two zones with separate sensor inputs to control the heat application, vacuum, and time necessary to cure critically sensitive composite resins and adhesives. The HCS9200B is the established standard for composite repair across the Combat Air Force (CAF), and introducing an alternate system would disrupt established maintenance protocols. The vendor will provide the Dual Zone Heat Bonder model HCS9200B with accessories to meet the requirements outlined in the solicitation.
Some key features of the required system include:
• Easy change of any cure parameter while program is running
• In progress graphic and numeric displays are easy to interpret
• Store 30 programs, enter or revise from key pad
• Temperature control by TC 1 or 2, hottest/coolest (automatically locates) or average of all thermocouples, mode selected by operator
• 10 thermocouple inputs per zone per aerospace manufacturers recommendations
• Temperature adjustments made in increments of 1°F or C.
