What are the benefits of using CFRP? Introduction of the case of "industrial robot arms."

Using carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) enables weight reduction, decreased deflection, and improved vibration damping!

CFRP is a composite material made of carbon fibers and resin. 【Benefits of CFRP】 - High specific modulus (modulus of elasticity ÷ weight), enabling lightweight parts, thin-walled designs, and reduced deflection. - Excellent vibration damping properties, allowing for high-speed operation. - Low thermal expansion coefficient, enhancing dimensional stability. - High thermal conductivity, enabling lightweight heat dissipation components. 【Common Needs】 - Desire to make products thinner and reduce deflection due to limited vertical space in equipment. - Need for materials with high Young's modulus because the weight of the workpiece has increased. - Requirement for lightweight components for high-speed operation. - Need to suppress vibrations to shorten tact time. 【Main Applications of CFRP】 Parts for FPD manufacturing equipment, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, automotive manufacturing equipment, medical device parts, machine tool parts, parallel link robot parts, conveyor equipment parts, inspection equipment parts, and other industrial robot parts, etc. 【What Mitsubishi Chemical Can Do】 In addition to manufacturing and selling carbon fibers and prepregs, we can also mold, process, assemble, coat, and inspect these materials, making delivery possible. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

basic information

【Features of CFRP】 ■ Lightweight: Material density is 1/4 that of steel and 2/3 that of aluminum ■ High rigidity: Elastic modulus exceeding that of steel can be designed ■ Small diameter and thin-walled design (compact design) ■ High vibration damping ■ High thermal conductivity ■ Low thermal expansion *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
