Invalite™:
As the use of composite tooling has increased to matching surging industry demand, the limitations of both Invar-only and composite-only tools have surfaced. The need to combine the long life and quality of Invar tooling with the lightweight properties of composite tooling has led Remmele Engineering to develop its patent-pending Invalite Hybrid Tooling solution, which unique combines the two elements to meet large- and moderate-scale tooling needs for composite manufacturers everywhere.
Remmele INVALITE™ Hybrid Tooling System:
- The system uses lightweight materials joined through Remmele's proprietary ConnexSys® technology, resulting in 50%+ weight reduction over convention Invar tooling
- Analysis shows that Remmele's Hybrid Tooling System holds up better to stress and use over traditional Invar tooling
- The design provided for uniform heating of the part surface
- Cost of the system is competitive with BMI and Infused composite tools currently in use.
- The surface of the tool lasts for the life of the program, providing for decreased cost of ownership.
