PAINTS AND COMPOSITES.
The SUNAERO RAPID CURING DEVICE is the
most compact SUNAERO 28Vdc Thermoreactor system. Very easy
to transport, to implement and to use, it is the reference device for
emergency repairs in AOG situations.
The touch-sensitive screen displays information at real time
allowing the operator to control the operation in progress.
All the required devices are stored inside two sturdy and waterproof
cases:
•The 1st case contains the control system
•The 2nd case is for accessories and one 28Vdc
Thermoreactor
Both can be carried on-board commercial flights.
