Roctool Celebrates 25 Years of Expertise with Induction Heating Solutions

Live Demonstration of the Light Induction Tooling (LIT™) System

At JEC World 2025, Roctool will present a live demonstration of its Light Induction Tooling (LIT™) system, showcasing the powerful benefits of induction heating for fast and energy-efficient composite molding. Building on the success of last year’s R-IDS™ heated platen technology, Roctool’s LIT™ demonstration will highlight the system’s ability to provide an Out-of-Autoclave (OOA) alternative, reduce cycle times, and improve energy efficiency.

This demonstration will be conducted in collaboration with two leading material providers: Yuho and EcoTechnilin. Each partner will present a distinct material, demonstrating unique advantages in composite manufacturing:

• Yuho (Stand 6N107) will present their newest nonwoven, recycled carbon fiber, manufactured without needling. Hayate®-ST enhances surface quality by reducing spring back effects.

• EcoTechnilin (Stand 5C59) will showcase its advanced combination of natural fibers and thermoplastic resins. The unveiling of their new "Linstetik" material range highlights a product that combines structural performance, innovative design, and sustainability.
