LEWCO, Incorporated Provides Vacuum Composite Cure Ovens for Vocational Education
 

October, 2009, Sandusky, Ohio- Recently, LEWCO, Inc. designed and manufactured vacuum composite cure ovens for vocational schools on both US coasts. With the rising demand for strong, light-weight composite materials, a local school district in Snohomish, Washington and as well as a community college in Greensboro, North Carolina recognized the need to educate their students on the technical aspects of the ever expanding composites industry.


The Snohomish School District purchased LEWCO an oven for their Glacier Park High School as well as an oven for their Snohomish High School. The students at these schools now receive hands-on training learning the art of vacuum bag composite curing. The knowledge of the processes involved in vacuum composite cured components gives Snohomish students an advantage in the local as well as international aerospace industry jobs market.
 

Guilford Technical Community College of Greensboro, North Carolina purchased a LEWCO oven for use in their Manufacturing Technologies Program. This oven included LEWCO’S VC3S Control System which is a PC based vacuum composite control system that utilizes an Allen-Bradley PLC. This PLC controls 8 vacuum ports on the oven while monitoring 16 vacuum transducers and 16 thermocouples for full data logging capabilities.
