Heraeus Noblelight expands its humm3 product family with the new humm3 enterprise

Heraeus Noblelight Ltd., introduced its newest development in composites heating technology: the humm3 enterprise at the JEC 2022 show in Paris.

Heraeus Noblelight’s humm3 technology is a high power, flexible, controllable heat solution for Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Automated Tape Layup (ATL), Filament Winding, and other composites applications. humm3 enterprise is the newest addition to the humm3 product family and has been born out of years of development from the original humm3 lab system, which has accumulated many thousands of hours in runtime and is installed in prestigious organisations around the world.

The humm3 enterprise is specifically intended for industrial production, advanced process development and pilot lines enabling high throughput for composite materials and components. With scalable heated widths from 12.5mm – 300mm and beyond it brings a wealth of opportunity to customer’s manufacturing process. humm3 enterprise has been fully integrated with Fieldbus communications and robot rated components meaning it is a powerful and flexible option for industrialisation.

Peter Lascelles Senior Sales Manager for humm3 commented: “The humm3 enterprise has built in a lot of the key learnings that we have made from our industrial systems. We have been able to incorporate new features such as an integrated handheld HMI, integrated Fieldbus control and an improved head design. These all bring benefits to the usability of humm3 and the heating process itself.”

“This is an exciting development in the expansion of our humm3 technology and we now have two product families – discovery and enterprise. Our discovery model is ideal for Research and Development, where enterprise is suited to large production cells, enabling high throughput for composite materials and components for things like pressure vessels, pipes and aerospace components.”
