Design and Manufacture
Conventional aluminum and steel booms are heavy and imprecise (shakes). Carbon fiber booms are lightweight, durable and sturdier for higher speed and/ or precision for pick and place or transfer presses.
Advantages:
- Using a unique carbon fiber layup structure, the weight of the system is reduced by 50% over traditional steel Crossbars without compromising the strength and deflection
- High strength and stiffness can be attained using high modulus carbon fiber material
- Carbon fiber can be molded into complex shapes or long structures (up to 20 feet) to meet custom loading characteristics of application
- Lighter structures increase automation strokes per minute (SPM), resulting in higher productivity
