The trend towards ever faster, more precise machines demands new, innovative solutions. Composite materials have a low specific weight, high resistance to mechanical and thermal stresses and are corrosion resistant – they deliver more performance and thus considerable added value.
CFRP nimble and fast
Especially when it comes to heavy moving parts in fixed machines light-weight materials can optimize mechanical processes thanks to the reduced mass. For lighter running means less energy and lower wear and tear. The greater agility of high precision carbon components allows you to accelerate even already high cycle rates – for example in the packaging or semiconductor industries. Another bonus: A component's thermal expansion coefficient can be influenced by the choice of fibres and their alignment. Thus composite components permit an otherwise scarcely achievable precision in fields as varied as measurement equipment or rolling mills.
Reliable solutions thanks to simulation
The prerequisite for the successful use of these materials in industry and mechanical engineering is a mature, material-driven design. That is why even in the development stage, CrossLink simulates the movement actions and the resulting mechanical strains – a guarantee for the highest reliability in the face of maximum daily demands.
