Balancing automation flexibility and operator safety

We discover how a specialist manufacturer of silicon carbide continuous core monofilaments has deployed a well proven control platform to maintain thernsafety and precise control of a volatile processrnFarnborough based TISICS is one of only two companies in the world capable of manufacturing silicon carbide continuous core monofilaments - primarily for use as fibre reinforcement in titanium composite parts. Titanium components containing monofilament reinforcement offer functional attributes on a par with that of a similarly temperature-resistant steel component, but typically at half the weight, and with greater strength and corrosion resistance. The material is of immense interest to the aerospace sector, considering the falling price of titanium, as well as other sectors whose applications require a combination of strength and low weight.
