      Embedded Sensors for High-Performance Composites in Aviation, Space, and Defence

      At RVmagnetics, we recognize the imperative of dual-use innovation—technology that seamlessly spans both civilian and military applications. Our magnetic MicroWire sensors, proven in aviation, automotive, and industrial manufacturing sectors, are now being tailored to meet the robust and mission-critical demands of the defence world. By transferring our success from civilian aviation and industrial use into Defence & Space, we’re bridging the gap between concept and combat-readiness. This includes ensuring that defence-grade composites with embedded sensing not only survive but excel in the harshest conditions—from nuclear zones and hypersonic flight to the crushing depths of underwater vessels. Our vision? To deliver critical capabilities to NATO-aligned Ministries of Defence (MoDs), prime contractors, and subcontractors, supporting them to build lighter, stronger, smarter, and safer platforms—across air, land, sea, and space.

    2. Engineering and Design for Manufacture

      Engineering and Design for Manufacture

      At Rockwood, we design and manufacture our own metal tooling to incorporate process optimization from the outset. We collaborate closely with our customers to ensure their parts are designed to optimize manufacturability, increase quality and maintain or even add functionality into the components. Our bladder and compression moulding processes result in high-quality components with a high fibre volume fraction and minimal voids. Wherever possible, we incorporate CNC machining features to eliminate handwork and trimming, ensuring that good quality tooling leads to superior quality and cost-effective parts in our composite manufacturing. Our composite manufacturing tooling can be designed to be configurable, meaning a single tool can feature interchangeable inserts to enable the production of various similar parts. We offer a selection of tooling materials, including aluminium, invar, and steel tooling to work in our heated platen presses. Stand-alone tooling can be built specifically to customer requirements and can incorporate integral heating and cooling systems, bladder and compression moulding within the same tool, multi-zone heating, and fully automatic cure control. These tools are fully autonomous, allowing for fast component turnaround without the need to move them in and out of heated presses.

    5. EnviroRinse™ Range

      EnviroRinse™ Range

      EnviroRinse™ 201 is a water-based, low foaming rinse aid offering corrosion resisting properties on assembly parts for up to 2 years. The purpose of this data report is to evaluate EnviroRinseTM201 (ER201) performance in an aqueous parts washer. The results and associated observations are detailed to show the effectiveness of the product. It was found that ER201 was stable over the 4-week period with minimal foaming and no alarms relating to the rinse tank occurred on the machine. The data followed a trend, the conductivity of the solutions increased throughout the trial however this was down to the top up of water into the tank. The dosage pump was set up to inject 20ml of ER201 every rinse cycle into the rinse tank, this maintained the concentration with no manual additions needed throughout the 4-week period. In no circumstance did any personnel need to intervene with the rinse tank and this ran fully automated by the machine. A full inspection regime was carried out on the parts that had been processed through the ER201 with positive feedback of the appearance of the components from a Hydraulics assembly manufacturer’s personnel. Lake Engineering Solutions provided a full SOP and training upon implementation of ER201 on the machine. This promoted a good practice for handling parts, and monitoring the solution now is minimal as it will be done in an automated process with the machine’s water top up and dosage pump. Full data has been given to underpin the effectiveness of the automated dosage system and Lab data to support EnviroRinse ™ using industry ASTM Standards (ASTM D4627-92: Iron Chip Corrosion for Water-Dilutable Metalworking Fluids and ASTM D1748-10: Rust Protection by Metal Preservatives in the Humidity Cabinet).
