Machine Industry
Carbon fibre composite profiles are superior material for fast moving parts in machines due to very high stiffness to weight ratio. Typical application areas in Machine Industry are textile machine parts, robotics and various testing and measuring equipment, where requirements are extremely high. Low thermal expansion characteristics are beneficial for operation and/or ambient temperatures. Pultruded carbon fibre profiles yield excellent fatigue properties. Composite profiles perform well in machines operating in corrosive and chemically aggressive environments.
The typical requirements of above applications where carbon fibre profiles and tubes offer the perfect solution are
Excellent strength
Excellent fatigue properties
Low weight and inertia
Good damping properties
Smooth surface
Shape capability
Tolerance capability
Low co-efficient of thermal expansion
