The engineering department in Kanfit, has extensive experience with transforming the most complicated concepts to serial production products. Using the latest CAD/CAM/CAE software versions of CATIA and UNIGRAPHICS, our engineers turn concepts in early development stages into prototypes, tools, serial production models, working instructions, methods, process specifications and serial production.

Our Digital Process Definition specification is certified by IAI - Israel Aerospace Industries, which in turn, is certified by Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Gulfstream, etc.

Kanfit manufactures primary airframe parts, sub assemblies and assemblies. Manufacturing starts from raw material such as sheet metal, Block and extrusion, from various types of alloys, through machining, forming, heat treatment, chemical coatings, finishing and assembly if needed.

Among our Facilities are:
• CNC machining centers
• Milling machines
• Lathes
• Chemical conversion line
• Aerospace painting chamber
• Brake-Press
• Presses, up to 500 ton
• Argon TIG welding
• Guillotine
• Heat treatment ovens
• Hardness and conductivity testing tools
• -40ºC freezers

Kanfit is certified by it's customers to supply primary parts and assemblies directly to production line, reducing the expensive need for incoming inspection and warehousing costs. All parts are supplied with COC and are manufactured according to customers quality requirements and the AS/EN9100B certified quality assurance system procedures.

Composites
Over 20 years of accumulated experience has made Kanfit into one of the leading companies in the Israeli composite structures manufacturing market. During that period, Kanfit had built  a vast knowledge base that enables it to deal with the most sophisticated production tasks and challenges, and produce state of the art composite structures. Our knowledge and experience make an important contribution for our customers while developing new prototypes, products or improving and modifying existing products.
Using Composite materials encompass an unrivaled composition of strength, weight, cost and availability that can not be found in any other solution. The usage of composite materials enables a unique freedom of surface design, variable thickness and surface texture. Our expertise allows us to achieve extremely tight tolerances in composite structures.
Kanfit specializes in Resin Transfer Molding, Liquid Resin Infusion and wet lay up manufacturing techniques. All technologies enable us to embed metallic inserts in the composite structure with very high quality of adhesion between the components.
Our clean room facility is environmentally controlled  (temperature, humidity, positive pressure).

Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
RTM manufacturing technology - a dry fiber is placed in a closed mold, resin is then injected under some combination of pressure and vacuum, followed by curing cycle. This technology enables Kanfit to manufacture composite parts in high volumes with less labor and lower costs, while keeping quality to the aerospace and medical industry standards. Parts manufactured using RTM technology are reproducible with very tight tolerances. . 

Liquid Resin Injection (LRI)
LRI manufacturing technology - a dry fiber is placed in an opened mold, than covered with a vacuum bag. The resin is then injected under some combination of sub atmospheric pressure and vacuum.  

Wet Lay Up
Wet Lay Up manufacturing technology is among the earliest technologies for composite structures manufacturing, but allows unequaled structure forming flexibility. Dry fiber is placed on the mold or master and than saturated manually with resin. Each piece of fabric is placed in that way until the desired part is formed. The complete part is than sent to be cured, using vacuum bag to extract excessive air and resin. This stage also help to the compaction of the layers.

Bonded assemblies and embedded metallic components
Kanfit has a unique expertise and more than 20 years of experience in this field. We specialize in very difficult and complex composite assemblies with metallic, rubber, plastic, honeycomb, foamed and even electrical components.

As part of our one stop shop concept, Kanfit also manufactures parts from various kind of plastics (Kydex), rubbers (cork rubber, neoprene etc), transparencies (Perspex), Rohacel, and various other non-metallic materials. Among the various manufacturing technologies used for these parts are hot forming, vacuum forming, machining of thick glass epoxy / fenolic plates and more.

Among our expertise is design and production of tooling for airborne structure assemblies, molds for composite manufacturing, RTM & LRI molds,  bending, press working, jigs & fixtures for welding forming assembling drilling and more. Combining our tooling skills, experience and prototyping capabilities, enables Kanfit to provide its customers a full set of proven tools, ready for serial production.

We use every available manufacturing technology to ensure that production tools are of the highest possible quality. Tools are made of various metals, composite materials, rubber, plastics and various combinations of materials.
