Carbosix: Carbon Solutions

Carbosix hyperprofiles and composite materials: structural profiles, tubes, bars and sheets suitable for the completion of small and large projects in the industrial, mechanical automation and robotics sectors.

C6 Line

Carbon profiles and accessories

The VIP in the composite materials sector, the only structural carbon profiles in the world. Carbon is the new frontier of materials and with CarboSix it becomes the solution to improve the quality of people's work.

CarboSix line of pultruded carbon fibre structural profiles is the result of Alusic’s experience as a manufacturer and seller of aluminium profiles, components and accessories for the assembly of aluminium structures. The unique characteristics of carbon fibre allow the creation of profiles with bending mechanical properties capable of bringing considerable advantages in the automation and industrial production sector.

Fields of application

HANDLING

Where Ergonomics is needed

For a better quality of working conditions, the characteristics of CarboSix carbon guarantee the satisfaction of every need in the working process. The system becomes a solution.

Advantages:

Lightness (the operator can move the structure without the aid of winches or external support equipment, in ergonomics and without fatigue)

METROLOGY

Where Thermal Stability is needed

Modular carbon profiles are very popular for making cchecking fixtures.

Advantages:

Thermal stability (carbon has no thermal expansion when the ambient temperature varies).
Lightness (the operator can move the structure without the aid of winches or external support equipment, in ergonomics and without fatigue).

ROBOTICS

Where Lightness is needed

CarboSix carbon composite profiles are highly appreciated for the realization of robotic manipulation systems (anthropomorphic robots, cobots, linear axes and cartesian portals).

Advantages:

Lightness (gripper lightened according to the payload with possible reduction of the size of the robot).
Performance (a lighter structure increases the speed of use of the robot itself, reducing the work cycle time and consequently improving production).

PACKAGINS PALLETIZING

Where Functionality is needed

The versatility of carbon allows CarboSix products to be used in any context such as drive shafts, idle rollers and rubber paddles.

Advantages:

Lightness (lightweight components in gripping and handling systems).
Performance (a lighter structure reduces the work cycle time by improving production).

CUSTOM-MADE PARTS FROM DRAWING

Where Performance is needed

Thanks to an advanced waterjet cutting technology, we can produce micron-precise parts, adaptable to every need overcoming the limits imposed by conventional materials such as aluminum and steel. Furthermore, the elegance and refinement of the carbon weave are the must of any project that wants to be proposed as captivating and state-of-the-art.

Advantages:

Versatility (different possibilities of use as bases for robotic sockets, components for industrial machines, for model making and design).
Stiffness (increase in mechanical performance in relation to the weight of the component).
Lightness (lightened components).

Why choosing CarboSix

Before illustrating the reasons why you should choose CarboSix carbon fibre profiles, it is useful to know what CarboSix actually is and the technique we use to produce our structural profiles and tubes.

How are our CarboSix profiles made?

By PULTRUSION: continuous process for carbon fibre profile production in which the fibres are pulled through a resin bath and then through a die at a controlled temperature, where the polymerization takes place.

How are our CarboSix tubes made?

By PULLWINDING: pultrusion with fibres wound before passing through the die. Layers of long fibres placed in a variable orientation with respect to the profile’s longitudinal axis. Increase of the torsional mechanical properties.

Πως κατασκευάζονται οι Carbon Σωλήνες;

A technique much different from Wrapping!

With Wrapping, the material is wound around a tubular die and the fibres have an orthogonal design. The lengths that can be obtained with this technique are limited due to the autoclave. In addition, only very basic profiles can be achieved and this is a disadvantage in terms of production costs and mechanical properties.

Where does CarboSix offer unbeateable advantages?

Automation and Robotics (e.g. grippers)
[lightness/strength ratio, installed like aluminium but with the advantages of carbon]
High-performance structures
Wherever very low bending is required (e.g. test benches)
Wherever structural lightness is required
Metrology [low bending, zero thermal expansion]
General application, such as packaging and special machinery
Handling and Transport (e.g. roller conveyors, because of the extremely low inertia to rotation, or the rollers in large-size belt conveyors)
Wherever high acceleration and low inertia are required

Why is CarboSix unique?

It is the world’s only modular profile in carbon fibre!

You use it like aluminium.
Structural modularity of aluminium and same processing, from cutting to perforation.
Accessories like aluminium and identical installation and fastening systems.
High dimensional precision (narrow tolerance range).
Certified mechanical properties.
