Usually, patches are used to reinforce components with CFRP. Inserting semi-finished fibre products into the diameter of a profile is more unusual approach. The idea for an internal reinforcement earned the June ThinKing award. Low weight, stability, stiffness and damping are the result of a lightweight construction solution for an embroidery machine that can also […]

ThinKing March 2021 shows in an impressive way that lightweight construction can do more than just save weight. For EMM! solutions, lightweight design is part of their corporate DNA. The term lightweight design describes the company’s central development strategy. Its goal is to optimally utilise all resources, including material and time, to produce the required […]

The intelligent lightweight TOROK-CFRP-IQ chuck from HAINBUCH GmbH, in Marbach am Neckar, perfectly utilises lightweight technologies. It complements the benefits of weight reduction with sophisticated sensor technology, thereby optimising its customers’ production and simultaneously preparing them for digitalisation.
