AREAS OF APPLICATION<\/h3><\/div>In mechanical engineering, our lightweight rods are inserted as stiffening girders in CFRP sandwich panels, which are then assembled into beam structures, for example as gantries for processing machines.<\/p>\n
CFRP sandwich rods are also integrated directly into machines. Here, our highly fatigue-resistant interface elements in the form of a conical clamping mechanisms have proven particularly effective. A typical application is as coupling rods for fatigue test rigs.<\/p>\n
Hybrid elements consisting of CFRP parts and metal parts are used to selectively reinforce load directions of an otherwise conventional metal structure.<\/p>\n
The high weight-related stiffness of CFRP solutions in mechanical engineering and the associated high natural frequency mean that machine parts can be accelerated more strongly and controlled more dynamically. This leads to significantly higher speeds with the same accuracy.<\/p>\n<\/div>
