Industrial Applications and Composite Components

From industrial rollers to robotics and automation, an initial investment in composites can bring long-term cost savings through manufacturing precision and efficiencies.

The right materials can provide properties such as light weight, high stiffness, corrosion resistance, and stability through temperature changes (low CTE). These benefits can be realized from the small, lightweight applications to heavy industrial uses.

Zero CTE Composite Components

When precision requires stability with temperature changes, composites are the best solution. Applications include the metrology industry, optical components, and medical. Our team has extensive experience with thermal requirements. We even have off-the-shelf zero CTE products and in-house CTE testing.

Composites for Medical Instruments and Devices

Carbon composite tables, sensor covers, and structural supports are a superior choice when higher levels of strength, durability, and radiolucency are required. Carbon composites allow for advanced resolution with minimal signal attenuation. Plus, composites’s lightweight properties make it an excellent choice for mobile equipment.

We are ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified. PPAP compliance per customer requirements.

Our products include:

X-Ray Transparent Housings
MRI Components
Medical Robotics

Domestic Or Near Shore For Design, Engineering And Manufacturing

Our team offers full design and engineering, rapid prototyping, and testing services. Additionally we can provide full-rate production in the US or at our near shore manufacturing location. We can step in at any point in the product lifecycle or provide a complete solution.
