Carbon fibre composite profiles are superior material for fast moving parts in machines due to very high stiffness to weight ratio. Low thermal expansion characteristics are beneficial for machines with tight tolerances and varying 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.
Exel has over 30 years of manufacturing experience for demanding state of the art pultruded composite profiles used in different segments of Machine Industry. Increasing number of applications in mechanical engineering are benefiting of composites advantages.
Typical applications:
Textile machine parts, printing machines, robotic and manipulator parts, packing machines, processing machines, measuring devices, etc.
Following properties make composites the best choice for the above demanding applications:
- Excellent strength
- Excellent fatigue properties
- Low weight and inertia
- Good damping properties
- Smooth surface
- Shape capability
- Tolerance capability
