Abstract
A simple, inexpensive yet flexible compression molding and cure monitoring system has been developed and used in studying the processing of advanced polymer composites. Compression molding is a promising method for manufacturing thermoset polymer composites which find usage in aerospace applications. The processing history of these composites determines their final properties. To improve quality and enable mass production, the processing-property relations need to be studied in detail. Process control and process monitoring as well as provision for user intervention during processing is essential in studying such problems. The computer-controlled molding system together with the control and data acquisition software aims at demonstrating how such a system may be built from off-the-shelf components.
