CARBO-COVER: Study of the Telescopic Covers of the Future
|
|
Telescopic covers that can withstand the strains of the industrial environment are now made from steel plate. At the same time, however, the relatively heavy material limits the covers, as regards the travel speeds and acceleration forces are concerned. But new materials are opening up new possibilities here as well.
The KABELSCHLEPP development department presents the first telescopic covers that could be made from carbon fibre materials: CARBO-COVER. The study is based on the material that is being used for some time in sectors like aviation, aerospace or even Formula 1.

Ready for the Demands of Tomorrow
Even higher acceleration forces can be achieved with the light and extremely strong covers in carbon fiber technology. And the energy input for moving the lighter covers will reduce simultaneously. CARBO-COVER – currently still being studied, but in times of evershortening production cycles, a promising path for the telescopic covers of tomorrow.

Carbon Fiber – the Material of the Future
The advantages of the material are obvious:
- 5 times lighter than steel
- almost twice as strong as steel
- very smooth surface
- corrosion resistance
- modern design, black instead of steel gray
