CFRP in the Robotics and Automation - AVANCO composites

Lighter than steel

50%

Lower payload compared to steel

15%

Higher, faster and more precise

Robotic applications are characterized by fast movements and high g-forces caused by the inertia of the high movable masses and not least the robotic structures itself. The limitation in movement speeds, accelerations or payload is caused by the strength and rigidity of robotic structures. Even the energy efficiency and positioning precision in automation processes is influenced by the structural dynamics and thermal expansion of the used rods and booms of today’s robots.

Fiber-reinforced tubes and profiles

Lightweight structures are the enabler for highly dynamic movement for robotic applications. The use of fiber reinforced tubes and profiles significantly increase the productivity by shorten cycle times, raise payloads and improve the positioning precision. Furthermore fiber reinforced structures are able to outperform metal based designs in the perspective of thermal expansion and stability, strength, deflection, high-cycle fatigue properties and weight.
