Accudyne Systems, Inc. has long history of process development and control for thermoplastic composite materials and continues to be actively involved in the development of processing and equipment for thermoplastic composites. Examples of current and past development work include:

• Design, fabrication, and installation of thermoplastic
      processing equipment for the manufacture of
      M29E3 composite SABOT rounds for Alliant
      Techsystems.
  
• In situ placement of flat laminates and cylinders
      from thermoplastic tape for NASA using commercial
      placement equipment at Cincinnati Machine. PEEK,
      PETI-5, and PIXA-M tapes are being used.
  
• A Dual Use (DUAP) Army-funded process
      development program to develop a high through-put
      machine to fabricate thermoplastic laminates by
      induction heating.
  
• Design, fabrication, and installation of a machine to
      apply fiberglass tape to the end of a foam block.
      This equipment is used by True North Composites
      to fabricate insulated composite rail cars using
      resin-infusion molding technology.
  
• Development and design of a thermoplastic tape line
      for Cytec Fiberite.
