The heart of the system
The heart of the system
Carbon / carbon composites are made entirely of carbon, one of the most common chemical elements on earth.
This ecologically friendly material will not creep and distort like metallic grids, because carbon / carbon composites gain both strength and stiffness with increasing temperature.
Schunk’s unique single strand construction permits fiber orientation only in the load-bearing directions. This method provides great strength but also great economy because no raw materials are wasted in manufacturing or fabrication.
Each standard 24" x 36" x 0.4" (610 x 910 x 10 mm) UniGrid™ composite grid weighs less than 7 lbs. (3 Kg.).
With such light weight and low thermal mass, you can use your energy to heat parts, rather than grids. With 150 different locations for legs and thousands of possible support combinations, each UniGrid™ composite grid allows you the greatest flexibility for load support.
You know your business best, so you decide where the legs should be located.
