Conventional aluminum and steel booms are heavy and
imprecise (shakes). Carbon fiber booms are lightweight,
durable and sturdier for higher speed and/ or precision for
pick and place or transfer presses.

Carbon fiber structure
reduces system weight
» Using a unique carbon fiber layup structure,
the weight of the system is reduced by 50%
over traditional steel crossbars without
compromising the strength and deflection
» High strength and stiffness can be attained
using high modulus carbon fiber material
» Carbon fiber can be molded into
complex shapes or long structures (up
to 20 feet) to meet custom loading
characteristics of application
» Lighter structures increase
automation strokes per minute (SPM),
resulting in higher productivity
