Portland, Oregon 6/27/2023 - Ruckus Composites, a leading provider of phased array inspection and repair services for aerospace, automotive, and outdoor companies, is delighted to announce significant additions to its machine and equipment capabilities. These advancements will further support our composite research and analysis capabilities while providing our innovation partners access to cutting-edge solutions and innovation partners in pursuing cutting-edge solutions.

  • CNC Services Expansion - Ruckus has recently invested in a state-of-the-art 3-axis precision CNC router featuring an impressive work volume of 1.2 meters by 1.2 meters by 0.2 meters. This remarkable addition empowers us to prototype molds and tools for our Innovation Department and bolsters our support of our innovation partners.

  • Advancing Bike Industry Research - Ruckus is proud to add a new Shimadzu Universal Testing Machine to address an industry segment that has long remained obscure. With an impressive capacity of 50 KN, ample test height of 1.8 meters, and Class-10 alignment, this cutting-edge equipment enables us to comprehensively evaluate entire bikes within our test volume. By scrutinizing material properties and failure modes, we can deepen our understanding of the sector and utilize quantitative data analysis from internal and external test campaigns. This focus allows us to enhance repair strength and effectively address process variations.

  • Introducing Advanced Inspection Capabilities - Ruckus has recently acquired the Omniscan X3, the latest Phased Array Ultrasound Machine from Olympus - Evident. This cutting-edge equipment propels our inspection strategies to new heights, enabling us to refine our approach and perform FMC/TFM on composite structures. With improved capabilities, we can ensure that our inspection processes are highly accurate, efficient, and reliable.

These significant additions to our composite analysis and capabilities will empower Ruckus to study, refine, and develop innovative repair and inspection processes for the outdoor and aerospace industries. By continuously enhancing our Non-Destructive and Destructive capabilities, we remain at the forefront of technological advancements and enable our partners to achieve unparalleled excellence.
