Power Distribution Cable. In 2013, Fralock won the Innovation Award for our contributions to Boeing and DARPA’s Fast Access Spacecraft Testbed (FAST) program.
The advanced, rugged, lightweight, flexible flat cable components Fralock offers for solar power collection and distribution, have received a lot of attention from the space industry since that time. FAST was a design and demonstration of an ultra-lightweight, high power generation system for spacecraft, for which we supplied flexible back panels for solar arrays and flat cable networks to carry power from the solar cells to its destination, Adhesiveless polyimide flat cables are among Fralock’s most advanced and versatile products. Looking like stiff ribbons, they are structurally similar to our thermofoil heaters, with conductive metal tracings sealed between two layers of polyimide insulation. Our flexible flat cables can be folded or even crumpled without affecting performance. Applications. Custom Prototype Manufacturers. New designs often have unexpected problems.
One of our favorite aspects of this business is when we are challenged by our customers to come up with a design to meet their needs. At Fralock, custom prototype manufacturing is often used as part of the product design process to allow engineers and designers the ability to explore design alternatives, test theories and confirm performance prior to starting production of a new product.
Fralock’s prototype manufacturing staff of engineers uses their experience to tailor the prototype according to the specific unknowns still present in the intended design. For example, some prototypes are used to confirm and verify consumer interest in a proposed design whereas other prototypes will attempt to verify the performance or suitability of a specific design approach.
In general, an iterative series of custom prototypes will be designed, constructed and tested as the final design emerges and is prepared for production. Kapton Insulation With Thermal Conductivity Property. High Performing Satellite Parts. Custom Prototype Manufacturers - Fralock. Satellite Components Manufacturers - Fralock.
Our custom Satellite components manufacturing is something Fralock has been known for since our beginning in 1967.
It is part of our problem solving expertise where we work with engineers, designers and many times inventors to find the solutions they need. FRALOCK is an AS-9100 registered and ITAR compliant manufacturer/converter of flexible materials such as adhesive tapes, film and foil, foam and rubber, specialty laminates, and custom composites. These materials are used in various components for, spacecraft, satellite components, and space based solar array equipment among others. Fralock’s Technical Knowledge™ (FTK) allows us to combine seemingly incompatible materials for mission-critical applications. Aerospace Components Manufacturers. Fralock has served the aerospace industry for over 50 years.
From humble beginnings as a specialty tape distributor to a manufacturer of custom aerospace components and subassemblies, the company now provides a full range of design, development, and manufacturing services to meet the needs of OEM’s serving the satellite industry. As application demands increase for polymer based solutions, Fralock is able to meet those needs by developing and manufacturing special purpose polymers, foils and adhesive based products and components for technically advanced OEM’s.
Fralock’s high performance material combines heat resistance, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance, to be used in hostile and extreme environmental conditions. Unlike most plastics, it does not produce significant outgassing even at high temperatures. It also performs well in vacuum applications, down to extremely low cryogenic temperatures.
