AvPro -- Leading the way in composites manufacturing



Providing Advanced Processing Control for Autoclaves, Ovens, and Presses
AvPro is a leader in automated controls for structural composites manufacturing.  Since the 1980's, AvPro has provided advanced controls to many industry leaders.  Today, AvPro's CSS300 control software is used daily by companies such as Boeing, General Atomics, and Spirit Aerosystems, to name a few.

The CSS300 suite is the premier control system for composites manufacturing.  A state-of-the-art user interface combined with wide operating parameters make CSS300 customizable to fill most any need.  Proven to improve part quality, as well as increase throughput, no system is fully equiped without the CSS300 suite.

Bringing Composites Manufacturing into the 21st century

For decades, AvPro and its predecessors have worked with leading edge technologies in order to advance processing controls.  Focusing much effort toward the study of advanced sensors, as well as software controls, AvPro has developed history with many fields of composites manufacturing.  Tom Rose, founder and president of AvPro, has worked with everything from dielectrics to fiber optics.  Included in AvPro's history is Mr. Rose's involvement in the development and manufacturing of the first all composit airplane - the Learfan.

AvPro's approach to the growing need for advanced process control is based on the progressive application of Material State Managment™ (MSM) to standard prodcution and repair environments.  The application of MSM can lead to increased part quality confidence by narrowing the acceptance window to exclude regions of high potential for failure, currently in acceptance specifications.  While MSM does narrow the window, it does so without placing increased restrictions on processing.  Production floors actually gain increased operating flexibility, as well as better disposition techniques.  With MSM, composites manufacturing can be brought into the 21st century.
