Taricco Corp. (Long Beach, Calif.) presented its VacJack automated gauge for vacuum bagging systems. Replacing standard gauges from which leak rates must be calculated manually, the VacJack automatically provides both audible and visual alarms when the vacuum bag exceeds the pre-set rate. The company also explained its new lead-rate test function, available with the thermal control system for autoclaves and ovens. The function enables testing during cure and incorporates test data into the cured article’s specifications.
