High speed carbon fiber robot end arm = faster production + reliablity

Sierra Composites continues to work with plastic cup, CD, DVD and other manufacturers that utilize high speed robotics. Replacing a heavy aluminum end of arm tool with a carbon fiber part generally reduces the weight of that part by 50%. This gives your robot the ability to run faster generating more units in the same run time. Switching over to a carbon fiber end of arm tool is also much easier on the machine itself, since it now only has to move half the weight as it did the heavy metal part. This benefit decreases the mechanical breakdowns and repair times of your automated machines, this also adds to number of units produced while reducing capital spent on machine repairs. Sierra Composites can work with you to update your manufacturing robots with carbon fiber parts.

Palletizing Robotics OEM carbon fiber parts

Sierra Composites continues to be a leader in custom carbon fiber robotics parts for OEM applications. Our palletizing robotics customers benefit from our ability to manufacture small and large runs of OEM cabon fiber parts, with a very quick turnaround. Many times our carbon fiber parts are replacing traditional metal parts that easily fatigue over time as metals stretch and then fail.  If you need custom carbon fiber robotic parts or are thinking of upgrading to carbon fiber parts please feel free to contact us.

Carbon fiber 90mm EDF motor mount modification

Sierra Composites is a large supplier to the radio control community, as it has so many uses that it is best suited for. The example here is an excellent use of our carbon fiber .059″ sheet material as a motor mount repair / strengthening application on a 90mm EDF fan unit.  These EDF fans can turn in the 40,000 rpm range, and even with proper balancing cause some vibrations. The motor for this fan is a KD-36-74 and weighs 390 grams, it needs a solid motor mount. The stock motor mount in this Haoye 90mm fan unit is a weak spot and can not take motor heat in the 170 degF  range along with some vibrations. The mount design is weak to begin with. Our carbon fiber sheet was used to strengthen up that mount as shown in the photos. The carbon backup disc is bonded to the original plastic fan housing to become one complete part with the housing.

Ducati carbon fiber modification

A customer of Sierra Composites used our carbon fiber angle and carbon fiber sheet for this under seat modification to his Ducati motorcycle.

More special R/C small project sheets

Our customers requested it, so we made it (again). Sierra Composites has just released its small R/C project carbon fiber plate. These 1.2mm compliment our recently released 2.2mm double sided smooth / glossy plate sheets are very rigid and are well suited to small R/C structural parts such as shock towers and brackets. We know many in the R/C community fabricate thier own custom parts for cars, airplanes, boats and helicopters, Our new 5.5″ x 7.5″ carbon fiber plate sheets are perfect inexpensive way to make those parts.

New carbon fiber sheet sizes

Sierra Composites customers requested that our carbon fiber sheets be available in half sheet sizes. So that’s exactly what we did. Our carbon fiber sheets in thickness .023″ / .041″ / .059″ and .125″ are all now available in half sheet sizes of 5.5″ x 8″.

Custom carbon fiber parts for high speed robotics

For years Sierra Composites has built custom carbon fiber components for end arm tools for use on  high speed robotic arms in manufacturing, such as plastic cups/containers and CD machines. These robotic machines normally move at high speeds and also have the need to accelerate then stop then accelerate again, sometimes changing directions as well. Because carbon fiber is the lightest  most durable type of contruction for a component, its perfect for robotic end arm tooling. And as a result of this construction it allows the robot to potentially move even faster, thus more units can be moved or made equally potentially more profit. Sierra Composites has fabricated several table top styles consisting of a honeycomb core with carbon fiber skins. Sierra Composites has also fabricated very light weight vacuum chamber panels utilizing a Rohacell foam core.
