The ATACS Model 8024-2 Hot-Bonder is specifically engineered to perform high-temperature cure operations required to bond composite,metal or fiberglass repair materials. Two independent cures can be performed at once. The proprietary ATACS microprocessor-based system and software automatically control cure temperature to one of up to fifteen preselected profiles. The operator controls cure operation through a series of command menus and,with the aid of a liquid-crystal display and data logger, can monitor all facets of cure performance. The start-up procedure is easy and takes as little as 10 seconds to be in an active cure. The Hot-Bonder automatically alerts the operator to any conditions jeopardizing cure performance or safety.
Features:
Ø Off-the-shelf PC or Laptop will be used as the user interface.
Ø Control program is a graphical user interface designed to operate on Microsoft® Windows XP™ and newer operating systems.
Ø Operator Window has 5 tabs; Cure, Heater Check, Data Logger, Administration and Cureator™.
