CoLT is our professional partner for product development and innovation
As a result of the company's evolution over the years, CoLT is now in a position to draw on a huge wealth of experience in the aircraft industry. With its 25 years of accumulated know-how, its team is able to handle even the most complex tasks to an outstanding degree in other areas as well.
Precision and perfection throughout all process steps
High-quality pre-pregs selected according to strict quality criteria form the basis.
Selection of materials
Precision cutting on NC-controlled cutters in cleanrooms under ideal temperature / humidity conditions for the materials.
Cutting
Layers are positioned using state-of-the-art laser technology, automated tape laying (ATL) and manual precision work. A fully automated hot-forming system turns fiber laminates into wrinkle-free narrow-radius pre-pregs.
Positioning
RTM (resin transfer molding) and RIFT (resin infusion under flexible tooling) ensure the cost-effective and time-saving production of complex integrated composite parts.
Liquid resin infu-
sion technology
Components are cured for 3-5 hours in an autoclave using pressure and heat.
Curing in
autoclaves
Compact components are cured in special presses.
