Composites for Metrology
Dimensional stability for maximum measurement accuracy
Metrology demands absolute precision.
Even minimal deformation, thermal expansion, or vibration can impair measurement results. Carbon fiber composite structures are used wherever stable geometries and repeatable accuracy are crucial. Through load-path-optimized design and controlled manufacturing processes, we deliver reproducible composite solutions for demanding metrological environments.

Why Composites Matter in Metrology
Reduced structural mass improves dynamic behavior in moving or scanning measurement systems. Carbon fiber composites enable fast positioning and stable movement while maintaining the stiffness required for precise measurement results.
Carbon fiber composites exhibit extremely low thermal expansion. Measurement systems remain dimensionally stable under changing environmental conditions, which reduces the need for thermal compensation and improves measurement reliability.
High stiffness with low mass ensures stable alignment of sensors, optics, and measuring heads. Composite structures minimize deformations under load, thus supporting precise and repeatable measurement results.
The inherent damping properties reduce the influence of vibrations from the environment or the machine itself. This improves signal quality and measurement accuracy, especially in dynamic or industrial environments.
Our composite manufacturing enables highly integrated structures that combine load-bearing functions with mounting interfaces and cable routing. This reduces the number of components and improves system stability.
Measurement systems require consistent performance over long periods. Carbon fiber composite structures with thermoset matrix systems offer excellent long-term dimensional stability and retain their mechanical properties. This supports reliable repeatability and reduces calibration effort, while robotic systems benefit from low mass and high stiffness.

Composites offer a unique combination of high stiffness, very low thermal expansion, and inherent vibration damping. This leads to dimensionally stable structures with reduced thermal drift and improved measurement repeatability. Additionally, the low mass improves dynamic behavior in moving or robot-guided measurement systems, making composites particularly well-suited for high-precision measurement applications.
