What are the reasons for the shift from metal to CFRP?
CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), which is attracting attention from various industries. What makes it so amazing? We will answer such questions.
**Main Benefits of Using CFRP** - It is lightweight and has excellent specific strength, leading to labor-saving in manufacturing lines. This also allows for a reduction in CO2 emissions through lower energy costs. - It has excellent vibration damping properties, which improves productivity through increased speed and precision in conveying devices. - It has a low thermal expansion rate, resulting in minimal degradation of functional properties even at high temperatures. - It has excellent X-ray permeability, allowing for clear images to be captured with minimal exposure and irradiation. For example, in arms for conveying devices, productivity can be improved by up to 30%. Replacing metal with CFRP enables weight reduction, decreased deflection, and improved vibration damping. As for our past production achievements, we have worked on: Aircraft interior and exterior parts, radar domes, Interior and exterior parts for two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, competitive bicycle parts, Arms for conveying devices, semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts, Medical devices, audio parts, and more. At TIP composite, we leverage our years of accumulated knowledge and experience to provide consistent production from design and analysis to manufacturing, inspection, and shipping, in order to meet the quality our customers demand. We encourage you to consider the various benefits of using CFRP.
