Titomic receives Iowa State order for ISB-11 machine
Titomic Limited, headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, has received a purchase order from Iowa State University for a Titomic 623 ISB-11 machine, part of the company’s turnkey Integrated Spray Booth (ISB) solutions.
The Titomic 623 ISB-11 is a fully integrated Cold Spray machine designed to provide customers with a complete, ready-to-operate environment for advanced coating and repair applications. From a production perspective, the machine combines medium-pressure Cold Spray capability with integrated material handling and dust extraction, reportedly resulting in a safe, efficient, and highly adaptable solution suitable for both industrial and research environments, states the company.
Titomic’s ISB machines are engineered to be customised to specific customer requirements, enabling organisations to tailor the platform to their operational and research objectives. The machine is intended to offer a versatile solution for a broad range of applications, including repairing metal surface defects and worn or damaged components such as engines, bearings, and gearboxes. The company states that its user-friendly design makes it well suited for educational environments.
The installation at Iowa State University is intended to support ongoing research and development initiatives. Titomic’s goal is to collaborate closely with Iowa State to foster innovation and advance research in Cold Spray technology. The system will provide students and researchers with access to advanced capabilities for materials research, coating development, and innovative manufacturing applications.
“We observed dual advantage of acquiring the Titomic ISB system. It will support fundamental science-based efforts on exploring novel composite materials to enhance reliability in critical components as well as the integrated approach of the system will bolster applied research to validate developed formulations for large scale applications. We are looking forward to leveraging this capability on our ongoing and future efforts focused on space, defence, and energy applications at Iowa State and beyond,” said Dr Sougata Roy, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University.
Dr Patti Dare, President of Titomic USA, shared, “This order highlights the growing demand for flexible Cold Spray solutions within leading research institutions. We are excited to support Iowa State University with a system that will enable cutting-edge research while also demonstrating the industrial potential of Cold Spray technology.”
