After the part is completely wetted out through the infusion process and resin contents are verified, the part can be exposed to the UV light bank. This bank of lights consists of 16 - six foot, 160 watt UV fluorescent bulbs, 2560 watts. The entire fixture is attached to an electric winch. Cure is accomplished in ten minutes of exposure to the UV rays. Below the table and to the right is the resin bucket. Two holes allow the resin tubes to go into the bucket but very little air can come out of the bucket and therefore very little smell from the vinyl-ester resin. The other side of the table has a resin trap. The two air lines coming off the part are bonded into the top of a strong jar or can. Another line comes out of the jar and is attached to the vacuum pump line. This allows excess resin to come out of the part but not work itself all the way back to the vacuum pump, which would destroy the pump.     Above is a close up of the spiral feed line that allowed resin to come in. The resin is now cured hard and has been stripped off the part.       To learn why an oven is an important part of advanced composite fabrication, please click here.
