PEEK for Robotic Joints: Why It Matters and Where It's Being Used
2026-09-20
PEEK for Robotic Joints: Where It Fits, Where Its Limits Are, and What Is Holding It Back With a density of approximately one-sixth that of steel, along with self-lubricating properties and the potential to reduce noise, PEEK offers a compelling combination of properties for certain robotic joint applications. However, major load-bearing joints in the lower limbs are not necessarily where PEEK per...

Key Considerations for Injection Molding Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics (LFRT)
2026-09-28
Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT) are increasingly being used in injection molding applications where high mechanical performance is required. While LFRT technology can provide excellent strength, stiffness, and impact resistance, the processing method plays a critical role in determining the final performance that a molded part can achieve. To successfully mold LFRT, it is essential to ...

60% Less Weight. 400+ MPa Strength. Meet the Aluminum Alternative.
2026-10-09
If you're developing lightweight structural components, you've probably faced a familiar challenge: reducing the weight of metal parts often compromises strength or drives up machining costs. Carbon fiber prepreg compression-molded parts offer excellent performance, but they come with high material costs, long production cycles, and low manufacturing efficiency. Conventional plastics are lightweig...

Melting Point vs. Tg: Key Differences in Processing
2026-10-29
In polymer processing, the melting point and glass transition temperature (Tg) are often confused on the production floor. But what role do these two critical transition points actually play in process adjustment and material modification? Understand the Basics: What Type of Plastic Are You Working With? Confusion between these two temperatures often stems from a failure to distinguish between dif...
