Resin Transfer Molding SystemsDispensing Equipment for RTM and Light RTM ApplicationsGlasCraft® RTM SystemsA full line of solutions for resin transfer moldingResin transfer molding (RTM) is a closed mold manufacturing process. Finished parts are made by introducing polyester or vinyl ester resins into closed molds containing fiberglass, carbon or other reinforcements.Whether your process is traditional RTM, Light RTM, Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP), Closed Cavity Bag Molding (CCBM), or other similar process, GlasCraft offers a complete line of RTM systems to fit your application. GlasCraft RTM Systems provide control at low pressure – the key to successful Light RTM injection• Engineered for low-pressure injection of polyester and vinyl ester resins• Accu-Pressure sensor monitors and controls pressure• Entry-level to automated, high-volume production models are availableTypical applications:• Marine and watercraft• Pool and spa• Bathware• Consumer products• Automotive panels and parts• Aircraft components2Touch-screen PLCProgrammable machine functions – from injection volume to catalyst ratio (depending on options)Superior recirculation• Allows resin and catalyst to cycle to the dispense head and back to the containers, unmixed• Keeps pigments and fillers suspended in the resin• Allows line to be de-gassed without wasting materialSpartan Dispense HeadProvides excellent mix of resin and catalyst, and trouble-free injection as wellPositive Feed Catalyst pumpAllows for infinite adjustment of catalyst percentage – no tools requiredAir Purge/Solvent FlushFor quick, efficient maintenance cleaningAccu-Pressure Sensor• Regulates, monitors and controls injection pressure • Stops material from dispensing if injection pressures go above the user set point • Prevents molds from becoming over-pressured Advanced features for automated, high-volume RTM productionAdvanced GlasCraft models are available with the following:Touch screen PLC Programmable logic controller allows you to program injection volume and catalyst ratio settings. Reduces operator error. Results in less wasted material and improved productivity.Programmable digital air/solvent flushFlushes out the static mixer with a pre-programmed amount of solvent. Can be used in combination with the air purge function for extra cleaning power.Programmable Automatic Catalyst (PAC)Ideal for manufacturers of larger parts. PAC allows you to program and adjust catalyst ratios for the injection cycle. By reducing the catalyst required for the first infusion of material, and increasing the catalyst during the last part of the infusion cycle, the part cures at a more even rate.Programmable Radio Frequency Identification tags (RFID) Each mold in your plant gets a unique RFID tag that you program with specific parameters such as amount of resin required and a catalyst injection profile. The operator simply scans the tag and the machine automatically loads the pre-programmed settings. RFID tags eliminate operator error and programming errors, and save wasted material as well. In addition, RFID tags provide your facility with unlimited programming potential. That’s because the system only stores the current RFID tag’s dispense parameters. Since all molding parameters are stored on each chip, you can have an unlimited number of RFID-tagged molds in your production facility.Password Protected PLC Spartan 3 PLC with PAC and RFID systems are designed with password protection so that operators cannot change mold settings and parameters.3Advantages of RTMA growing number of companies are moving to closed mold processes because it offers many significant benefits:• Less wasted material• Faster gel and cure times• Uniform part size and thickness• Consistent material usage• Finished surface on both sides• Reduced VOC emissions – less environmental impact• Higher glass content which results in lighter weight partsSpartan Spartan II Basic Spartan II Deluxe Spartan 3 PLC Spartan 3 PLC with PACSpartan 3 PLC with PAC & RFIDFeatureEntry level designed for RTM high-pressure injection For all forms of closed moldingFor all forms of automated closed moldingFor all forms of automated closed molding with touch-screen programming For all forms of high-volume, automated closed moldingFor all forms of closed molding; designed to simplify high-volume production when numerous mold sizes are used Complete recirculation • • • • • •Pneumatic trigger • • • • • •Air/Solvent flush • • • • • •Low-pressure injection • • • • • •Spartan dispense head • • • • • •Positive feed SSP catalyst slave pump • • • • • •Stroke counter • • • • •Auto-valve ready • • • • •Low-pressure injection with Accu-Pressure • • • • •User-friendly control panel • • • • •Dispense timer • • • •Adjustable independent solvent flush • • • •Independent air flush toggle switch • • • •Adjustable gel timer •Touch-screen programmable • • •30 programmable injection settings • • •Programmable digital air/solvent flush • • •Programmable automatic catalyst • •Programmable radio frequency identification tags •Unlimited programming •Password protected •Call today for product information or to request a demonstration. 800-746-1334 or visit us at www.graco.com.© 2008 Graco Inc. 340040 Rev A 12/08.
