Aluminium silicon carbide is a metal matrix composite ideal for automation, specifically in end-effectors of robotic arms.
AlSiC (aluminium silicon carbide) is a metal matrix composite ideal for automation, specifically in end-effectors of robotic arms Used in robotic arms, AlSiC's high strength, stiffness and light weight ensure lower inertial response when the arm is moved
These qualities reduce the vibrations that can result from movement, allowing for higher reliability in the assembly process.
The CPS AlSiC near and net-shape fabrication process both produces the composite material as well as fabricates the product geometry, resulting in a cost-effective product and allowing rapid prototyping.
