End effector for robots with low effective force
Carbon fibre enables end effectors with a very low weight and high load capacity (load ratio up to 1:10). This means that even small robots can work precisely and efficiently. Size and geometry can be flexibly customised, which offers high variability in automated processes.
Structural components for car bodies
CFRP is suitable for load-bearing structural components such as gearbox carriers. The low weight reduces energy consumption, while modern production methods enable short production times - also ideal for large series.
Realising support structures
Carbon fibre can be used to reinforce existing geometries and better absorb static and dynamic loads. This increases service life and reliability while minimising weight increase.

FFTlighweight FibreTEC 3D
Customisable wound carbon fibre structures
FibreTEC combines low weight with high payload. CFRP components made from filament winding are topology-optimised and robot-assisted mouldable – ideal for structural components, assembly aids and handling grippers.
FFTlightweight Integral
Carbon fibre coating for grippers
The hybrid carbon frame with carbon fibre coating for lightweight grippers. Conventional clamping technology, freely configurable connections and robot-compatible design. Up to 57% lighter and low vibration.
FFTlightweight FibreTEC profiles
Wrapped carbon fibre connections
FibreTEC profiles are a modular system. The individual elements are connected using precision-manufactured aluminium plates. The profiles themselves are made of wound CFRP with integrated aluminium deflection points.
FFTlightweight FibreTEC H-Frame
H-shaped base frame for robot flange plates
The innovative H-shaped base frame is available in 4 different versions. They differ in size, hole patterns (e.g. Ø 125 mm, Ø 160 mm, Ø 200 mm or B8 plates) and optional centring ring and can be flexibly adapted to individual customer specifications.
FFTlightweight FibreTEC Connector
Composite pieces between profiles
The FFTlightweight FibreTEC Connectors are available in different versions and enable the stable connection of two/three FibreTEC profiles. Ideal for frame elements and modular assemblies in the modular system.
FFTlightweight FibreTEC Mounting
Versatile mounting options for FibreTEC modular system
Whether mounting or end mounting, these elements ensure flexible integration of additional assemblies and stable connections in frame structures. They expand the modular system and ensure efficient assembly in a wide range of applications.
FFT lightweight FibreTEC Spacer
Spacer for FibreTEC modular system
The FFTlightweight FibreTEC spacers serve as precise spacers between the FibreTEC profiles and FibreTEC connectors or brackets. With thicknesses of 3 to 40 mm, they enable defined spacing and flexible design solutions.
FFTlightweight FibreTEC Brakets
Corner joints for FibreTEC modular system
FibreTEC brackets offer resilient corner connections for modular profiles. High-strength aluminium plates ensure high stability and easy integration into the FibreTEC modular system.
