Heraeus Noblelight becomes Tier 2 member of NCC
Torsten Jenek, head of Innovation for Optics and Flash at Heraeus Noblelight, commented: “We are delighted to announce that we are now Tier two members of the National Composites Centre, United kingdom. Membership will help us to exploit the condition-of-the-art amenities at the NCC to acquire our humm3 heating know-how further more, alongside with the possibility to take part in main assignments and initiatives even though acquiring nearer relationships with members.
“We are truly delighted to be capable to reconfirm our motivation to the NCC, which will let us to explore fascinating new chances for foreseeable future collaboration,” Jenek reported.
Tier Two membership will allow Heraeus Noblelight, centered in Cambridge, United kingdom, to examine humm3 thermoplastics layup capabilities more deeply. As portion of the upgraded membership Heraeus will be collaborating in a task to examine its slicing edge humm3 know-how for thermoplastic Automated Fibre Placement (AFP). Heraeus will be doing work with reduced soften PAEK thermoplastic product (LM-PAEK) and investigating the rewards of working with the pulsed and broadband mother nature of the humm3 electricity to increase the bond toughness in between plies and the last portion good quality. The task will also quantify the rewards of the hottest technological developments of the humm3 know-how in AFP applications.
“At the NCC we function with innovators to use composites know-how to address some of the most complex engineering problems of our time, and we are delighted to have further more cemented our partnership with Heraeus Noblelight. Their humm3 know-how will allow companies to completely exploit the positive aspects of Automated Fibre Placement and aids us to accelerate the enhancement and uptake of composites across a array of industries, and we’re looking forward to constructing on that with them in excess of the coming months,” included Enrique Garcia, chief know-how officer at the NCC.
Heraeus Noblelight has two bespoke, industrially-completely ready humm3 devices at the NCC. The AFP-ATL cell at the NCC has a completely built-in process that can support significant powered heating in excess of widths from 75mm to 300mm. The second process – the Extremely Superior Amount Deposition Mobile – incorporates a unique humm3 process that is able of heating 9” (230mm) large dry fibre as portion of the speedy production of wings.
Furthermore, Heraeus has set up a humm3 process at the NCC to let any intrigued parties to use it.

Heraeus Noblelight, the centre of excellence for flash lamp know-how, is now a Tier two member of the NCC. This will help Heraeus Noblelight to use condition-of-the-art amenities at the NCC to examine its humm3 thermoplastics layup know-how. Heraeus will also take part in a task to check humm3 know-how for thermoplastic Automated Fibre Placement.
