Veelo Technologies has introduced a new small and lightweight form factor hot bonder used to control heat sources applied in composite processing and composite repair applications. The new hot bonder can be seen firsthand in Veelo's booth R58 at CAMX 2021, being held October 19-21, 2021, at the Kay B. Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, TX.

Veelo Technologies is excited to announce that the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) (China Lake, CA) has exercised its option with Veelo (General Nano, LLC, dba Veelo Technologies) to accelerate the development of next-generation advanced solid rocket motor cases.

Mr. Larry Christy, Director of Research and Development at Veelo Technologies, will conduct an Education Session at CAMX 2021 entitled "Advanced Heating Solutions for Out-of-Autoclave, Out-of-Oven Composite Processing."

Industry 4.0 and IIoT are of course big topics that are still being fully explored and defined in industry. From our standpoint, its implementation allowed us, as a startup company, to be agile and get equipment controls up and running quickly.

The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) (China Lake, CA) has contracted General Nano, LLC (dba: Veelo Technologies) to enhance the performance of traditional graphite epoxy composite tactical missile solid rocket motor cases.

Veelo Technologies is leveraging its innovative composite processing technology to help manufacturers stay out of the autoclave and oven and by improving their debulking processes. The company’s solutions allow effective and reliable in-situ hot debulk, eliminating the need to transport parts to an autoclave or oven.

Utilizing proprietary heating technologies, Veelo Technologies’ is helping reduce costs and increase production of composite parts that will be used on the fifth-generation combat aircraft. Veelo will provide VeeloHEAT Cauls and VeeloHEAT composite repair blankets based on the company’s novel heating technology.

Composite materials have been adopted in many industries for a wide range of applications due to the strong mechanical and highly conductive properties that can replace metallic structures. One prime example is in the modern aerospace industry. Combined with the advantages of being light and flexible, composite materials have the capabilities to shield the aircraft from electromagnetic interference and to protect the aircraft from lightning strikes.

“AS9100D is essential for a company like Veelo Technologies that has made the transition from an R&D startup effort into a true and trusted supplier of products within the aerospace and defense industries. The certification lets our customers and potential customers know that we are serious about the quality and safety of our products. Adopting these requirements helps us improve and maintain quality, costs, and delivery performance.”

The new site is reflective of Veelo’s growth, highlighting the company’s complete portfolio of solutions including electrically conductive materials, advanced heating solutions for composites, and next generation de-icing systems.

AS9100D is an international standard that governs quality systems for companies providing goods and/or services to the aerospace, space, and defense industries. The standard provides supplier requirements and best practices for areas of the business including Context of the organization, Leadership, Planning, Support, Operation, Performance Evaluation and Improvement. Adopting these requirements throughout the entire supply chain results in improved quality, cost, and delivery performance.

How could something so cool, techy, and ‘cutting edge’ also be so frustrating, painfully slow to development, expensive, yet filled with optimism and possibilities?

Welcome to my experience with nanotechnology, and the story of how General Nano pivoted to become Veelo Technologies.

Veelo Technologies has achieved a new milestone in the high-growth aerospace and defense composites protection market. VeeloVEIL, a metallized nonwoven advanced material, is now available in 3 mOHM/sq, 55 grams per square meter with >95% electrical uniformity in a 36” wide continuous product form. VeeloVEIL’s electrical conductivity and basis weight properties are unmatched by incumbent solutions, making it the highest performing composite protection material in the market.
