Mechanical engineering

Composites offer numerous advantages in mechanical engineering. Composite parts improve performance everywhere where highly dynamic movements are required. Typical sectors are for instance robotics and textile machine engineering.

Light and effective moulded parts

Composites help to reduce weight and thus improve the performance of the machine
This is especially true when high acceleration rates are required, e.g. in assembly applications
Increased stiffness and low heat expansion help make machines more precise

Resource conserving and durable

Due to inherently good damping properties and typically high natural frequencies, it is possible to avoid the negative effects of vibrations and thus reduce wear
Other useful advantages are chemical resistance, electrical properties and huge freedom of design
