Advantages of FFTlightweight FibreTEC profiles Maximum performance with minimum weight
Weight saving
The lightweight profiles are up to 41 % lighter than aluminium profiles, making them more efficient to handle and install.
Quick and easy installation
Quick and precise installation thanks to standardised connection points.
Sustainability
Reduced material and energy consumption contributes to more environmentally friendly processes.
Modular system
Standardised design enables flexible adaptation of the lightweight profiles to different applications.
The FFTlightweight FibreTEC profile is our answer to standard aluminium profiles that are too heavy. The modular system already has integrated threads and pins for secure fixing, which significantly reduces installation time. We offer you a wide range of profiles in different sizes, each with specific properties that are perfectly tailored to your needs. The advantages of the system speak for themselves:
- Pre-integrated threads
- Up to 40% weight advantage*
- Better strength and stability*
- Better tolerances*
- Reduced inertia on the robot arm
- Use of smaller robots possible*
*Compared to aluminium profiles
Manufacturing process for FFTlightweight FibreTEC Profile Efficiency through robot-assisted production
CFRP winding process with aluminium deflection points
Aluminium deflection points are loaded automatically, followed by robot-assisted CFRP fibre placement for maximum precision and structural stability.
Curing and tempering process
The wound profiles undergo a 48-hour curing and tempering process, which guarantees maximum material strength and lasting dimensional stability.
Quality assurance
Each component is checked for dimensional accuracy, load-bearing capacity and surface quality using standardised test procedures to ensure consistent premium quality.

Reference from practice
The innovative combination of a scissor lift system made of FFTlightweight FibreTEC Profile with an FFTlightweight Integral frame saved 1.7 tonnes of weight compared to the previous solution using a steel structure! The use of carbon moulds therefore not only helps to reduce energy costs, but also cuts CO2 emissions. In addition, the shorter cycle time and efficient use of space significantly optimise the movement sequences. Overall, these improvements lead to a noticeable increase in performance, which significantly increases both the efficiency and sustainability of the system.
