In the top image you can clearly see the Sandwich Pattern of the Composite Superstructure made in-house. The wave pattern comes from Fiber Glass. The black lines are the Carbon Fiber Layer on top and in between.
The metallic object is the connector for the Stepper Motor for the Y Axis.
Flexural Test
Tensile Test
Why was it done ?
To validate the flexural and tensile characteristics / properties of our fabricated material.
What was tested ?
A 6 MM sheet of the Carbon Fiber & Fiber Glass Composite was fabricated for the test and strips of it were used to test the structure.
In production we utilize up to 20MM thick strips for manufacturing.
Test Methodology
• ASTM D3039 -17- Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite
Materials
• ASTM D7264 – 15 – Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite
Materials
What were the results ?
To validate the flexural and tensile characteristics / properties of our fabricated material.
In other words the Flexural Results Show that our material can take a load of 5 tones if applied at a single point before breaking. The Tensile Strength shows that a similar amount of force is needed to break this structure by pulling it apart.
The detailed results can be seen below.
Why Akriti’s Composite CNC Machines are the Lightweight Champions of Precision
In the bustling workshop, the rhythmic hum of CNC machines echoes like a metalworker’s mantra. These tireless workhorses, sculpted from steel and aluminum, have long been the backbone of precision manufacturing. But amidst the clang and clatter, a quiet revolution is brewing. Enter Akriti Precision Systems, where the future of CNC stands not on a steel pedestal, but on a sleek, composite throne. For decades, metal has reigned supreme in the CNC kingdom. Its strength and rigidity were seen as unassailable virtues, the cornerstones of accuracy and durability. But like an over-armored knight, these metal behemoths carried the burden of their own weight. Slow, energy-hungry, and prone to thermal drift, they often felt like bruisers in a ballerina’s world. Composite CNC Machines are the new Lightweight Champions of Precision and the future of machniing in certain aspects.
