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

      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.

    3. Enclosure Hardware

      Enclosure Hardware

      Enclosure Hardware is the wider term for products such as Locks, Locking Systems, Gaskets, Hinges, Latches, Handles, Clamps and Terminals. These products not only increase the safety of the contents inside but also improve other factors such as ease of installation and access for maintenance teams. Locking Systems are used on large door spans where one handle operates multiple locking points. These systems are modular, providing flexibility for customising to different door sizes. Locks generally provide a single locking point with a variety of keys to suit the differing inserts available. Generally operated through 90 degrees (quarter turn), but some operate through 180 degrees. There are different IP rated Locks available to suit the different service requirements. Hinges are commonly used to connect a door to its frame or supporting object, to provide a point upon where it can rotate open and closed. Some Hinges can be “handed” (left-hand or right-hand) depending on how a door will be mounted. Clamps are typically used to connect electrical conductors such as cables or terminals. Gaskets can be used as edge protection, or to provide a seal between two surfaces (such as a door and a frame), with a wide range of profile types and fixing methods depending upon the application.

    4. 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.
