Polyester resins are versatile and economical materials widely used in the manufacture of products such as boats, car bodies and swimming pools. They are characterised by their resistance to water and chemicals, making them ideal for marine and construction applications. However, they have lower fatigue and impact resistance compared to other resins, which may limit their use in more demanding projects in terms of durability. Vinylester and epoxy resins, on the other hand, offer higher resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress. Vinylester resins combine properties of polyester and epoxy, being more flexible and resistant to fracture. They are ideal for applications where enhanced chemical properties are required, such as in storage tanks or pipelines. Epoxy resins, on the other hand, are noted for their exceptional adhesion, toughness and impact resistance, which is why they are used in aerospace industries and in the manufacture of high performance products such as structural parts and advanced adhesives.

Reproducing or improving an existing part without original drawings is achievable with our reverse engineering service. Using high-precision 3D laser scanning and advanced software, we capture the full geometry of the component and reconstruct it in CAD (2D or 3D). Once validated, the part can be manufactured accurately and, if needed, optimized in design or function. The process covers technical analysis, design, production and final inspection with metrology tools, ensuring reliable and precise results at every stage.

Rex Nordic’s mobile evaporative air coolers are designed to excel in challenging environments—from vast industrial sites to covered outdoor areas where traditional air conditioners simply can’t keep up. Unlike air conditioners, these air cooling fans require natural airflow or an existing ventilation system to function effectively, making them ideal for open spaces, industrial environments, warehouses, and events. They provide powerful, energy-efficient cooling for large spaces without the need for costly installations. In hot, dry conditions, they work at their best, while in humid environments, proper air circulation—such as open doors, windows, or air conditioning—ensures optimal performance.

In production, intralogistics and conveying, automated identification has become a standard. Such automated identification systems enable the requirements-driven distribution of goods or assembly components as well as their traceability in real time. As a result, manufacturing and supply processes can be fully automatically controlled and seamlessly documented. In RF identification systems, workpiece or goods carriers are marked by RFID transponders, i.e., ID tags. Antennas enable non-contact reading from and/or writing to such ID tags. These data are immediately transferred to an RFID evaluation unit, where they are processed. The evaluation unit transmits the data to the PLC via field bus interfaces, such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, Ethernet IP, Ethernet TCP/IP or EtherCAT. Applications are found in production lines, where the units are used for material flow control.

Airtech's infusion aids are essential complementary components that facilitate and improve the efficiency of the resin infusion process in composite manufacturing. These ancillary products include items such as valves, fittings, spiral tubing, and adaptable bases, designed to ensure controlled resin flow and effective sealing during the process. Each of these components plays a key role in creating a reliable resin infusion system, allowing the resin to be evenly distributed over the mould and the vacuum to remain leak-free throughout the process. These ancillary products not only contribute to the optimisation of resin flow, but also improve the integrity and quality of the vacuum. Airtech's high-precision connections and valves ensure that there are no air leaks, which is crucial to achieving defect-free parts. Spiral tubes and adaptable bases, meanwhile, allow for flexible configurations to suit the specific needs of each project, from small parts to large structures. With these ancillary products, manufacturers can ensure that the resin infusion process is efficient, safe and produces consistent results in industries such as aerospace, automotive and energy.
