Market leaders Lee Spring
are delighted to provide
their customers with
the opportunity to buy
online with full account
management and basket
purchasing facilities on
their new easy to navigate
website at www.leespring.
co.uk – a fast ecommerce
experience with highly
effi cient product search and
CAD downloads.
Lee Spring offer over
25,000 stock spring designs
on this site - ready to ship
today with pricing and
detailed specifi cations easy
to view. These standard exstock
springs can be quickly
specifi ed using many fi lters
and slider options which
help to determine the range
parameters,
accompanied by
menus to select
spring type and
materials. In
addition, there is
a rapid response
service to request
a quote for
custom springs.
Lee Spring has put a great
deal of effort into this new
website which also includes
a resource centre, press
release updates, technical
articles, whitepapers,
extended information on
stock and custom springs,
plus regulatory compliance
information. The deeper
aspects of spring technology
are addressed in a “Learn
About” section and an
“Industry Solutions” area.
“We are excited to offer
a dynamic new Lee Spring
website to our customers
who both need and deserve
an easy to use resource in
support of their spring and
engineering needs. This
redesign incorporates an
emphasis on user effi ciency,
ease of navigation and
excellence of information
when and where it is
needed; all in all a fast,
easy to use site. “ said
Steve Kempf, Lee Spring

The newly developed Vitralit
UD 1405 adhesive is an
innovative adhesive system for
fi bre and fi lament winding.
For high effi ciency, Vitralit
UD 1405 can be
applied during the
winding process and
immediately cured
with high intensity
LED curing systems.
This adhesive and
curing system is
ideal for Carbon
or Glass Fibre
fi lament winding
associated with
Carbon Fibre
Reinforced Polymer
(CFRP) or Glass
Fibre Reinforced
Polymer (GFRP)
manufacturing processes.
Vitralit UD 1405 can be
used to wrap components
such as hybrid rotor shafts
for electric motors and
high-voltage surge arresters.
The adhesive-coated fi brereinforced
windings can be
then be quickly cured with
UV/visible light. This innovative
winding process is extremely
space and time-saving, and
can produce signifi cant
processing cost savings.
Available through Techsil in
the UK, Panacol’s Vitralit UD
1405 is a transparent, solventfree,
one-component epoxy.
Due to its low viscosity, Vitralit
UD 1405 has very good
wetting properties. It can be
cured in seconds by irradiation
with UV (365nm) or Visible
(405nm) light wavelengths.
Depending on the fi bre
material and the wavelength
used, layer thicknesses of
several millimetres can be
achieved exclusively by UV/
Visible light curing. This
epoxy can also be thermally
cured after UV exposure to
ensure that a complete cure is
secured in areas shadowed
from the UV light. For example,
fi bres or fi laments can fi rst be
pulled through an adhesive
bath, then wound onto the
rotor or respective cylinder,
and cured with UV or visible
light. A secondary thermal
cure will ensure that the layers
of coated windings below the
surface become fully cured.
