Sigmatex offers an unrivalled range of woven fabric constructions such as plain, twill and satin weave patterns and also more complex designs for visual and performance applications, along with standard, intermediate and high modulus fibres. Sigmatex’s computer controlled looms also allow the use of ultra-high modulus and un-sized fibres which are very delicate and require precise process control.

The sigmaFT range of advanced carbon fabrics benefits from light area weight, high closure level and a flat structure. Designed using proprietary weaving technology that enables the inline spreading of both the warp and weft tow bundles, the end result is cosmetically attractive, consistent and offers improved process-ability due to its closure level. Applications include advanced structural parts in Aerospace, Space, UAV and Automotive sectors Product Attributes: Produced from standard and intermediate modulus fibers Low FAW at 195gsm using standard modulus 12K fibre Improved tensile strength vs 3K fabrics Low crimp and zero tow twist Thinner profile enabling higher volume fractions High closure levels Available in a variety of widths up to 1524mm (60”)

Multiaxial Non-Crimp Fabrics (NCF) integrate advanced fiber spreading techniques, high conversion speed, adjustable angle laying heads and the capability to manufacture multi-layer fabrics at variable widths. This technology offers zero crimp for maximized mechanical performance, with typical applications including automotive components, aerospace structures and marine vessels Product Attributes: Improved mechanical performance compared to woven materials Layer ply weights from 50gsm Fabric area weights from 100gsm to 1800gsm Multiple layers and fiber orientation options Optimised stitch design to suit drape requirements Option of powder bonding to support pre-forming Fibre options from 12K to 50K

sigmaRF fabrics contain reclaimed carbon fibre, resulting in products that are sustainable and cost effective. sigmaRF is suitable for many applications which currently use virgin carbon fibre-thermoplastic materials, and is especially applicable to the automotive, sports and leisure, medical and energy sectors.

The sigmaST range of spread tow fabrics are very thin, are ultra lightweight, have near zero crimp and fewer interlacing points. As well as being aesthetically pleasing, this technology has improved mechanical performance at a reduced thickness and cost when compared to standard 2D fabrics using 1K fibres.

Utilising carbon fibers in just a single direction, unidirectional fabrics are produced in a wide range of weights with a variety of stabilising methods such as stitching, thermoplastic and scaffolding yarns. This technology is mainly used in the wind energy sector but is also increasingly being used in automotive applications, where localised reinforcement in a specific direction is beneficial. Applications include infrastructure repair, marine, wind blades and Automotive parts such as battery enclosures and chassis reinforcement Product Attributes: Low crimp Lightweight fabric construction from heavy tow fiber All modulus fibres can be processed Highly stable fabrics – particularly with thermoplastic weft bonding. Suitable for long aspect ratio parts Large rolls sizes available

In electronics, signal conditioning means manipulating an analogue signal in such a way that it meets the requirements of the next stage for further processing. Most common use is in analogue-to-digital converters. A full range of signal conditioning option which includes amplifiers for all the sensor types, panel meters with integral sensor power supplies, and wireless products. All can be configured to provide a total system from sensor to the final signal required. Signal conditioning can be used to directly power the sensors and receive an input signal such as accelerometers, strain gages, temperature sensors with cold-junction compensation, however be sure to note the sampling rate required. Generally the signal conditioner provides a small voltage up to approximately 10 volts. Signal conditioning can be used as part of a data acquisition system to provide monitoring and control.

SIL-PACK contains silica gel — an amorphous, porous form of silicon dioxide that adsorbs moisture through a network of irregularly sized pores. It is non-toxic, chemically inert, and highly stable. Specifically engineered to control humidity inside containers, SIL-PACK performs exceptionally well in high-humidity environments. Available in a range of packaging options: non-woven sachets, Tyvek® bags, and bulk formats.

Silver is a, white, lustrous metal capable of taking a high polish. Due to its extraordinary technical properties it is used in a wide range of applications. Silver is the metal with the highest electrical conductivity of all metals and is therefore essential for light- and heavy current engineering. In addition, silver is the most malleable metal after gold. Its outstanding anti-fretting properties makes it the perfect coating for high stress application such as slide bearings in the aerospace industry. South West Metal Finishing offers two types of Silver Plating which are specialised on the different properties of silver. Both types can be plated on various materials such as steel, stainless steel, copper brass and even aluminium.
