LIGHT, STURDY CARBON FIBER FRAME FOR BODYSHOP FABRICATION

This carbon fiber NAAMS bodyshop frame from Bilsing Automation is stronger and lighter than standard aluminum tooling used to handle components for fabricating sheet steel bodies-in-white, front-end sheet steel and closures, all without compromising quality or performance.

Posted: December 2, 2010

Bilsing Automation North America (Clinton Township, MI) offers a carbon fiber (CF) material handling frame that meets dimensional specifications for bodyshop applications as designated by NAAMS (North American Automotive Metric Standards). As compared to the traditional aluminum tubing used in bodyshop frames, the Bilsing CF frame components can be up to 50 percent lighter and exhibit significantly less deflection. These features help increase productivity and improve process stability.

Additional benefits of carbon fiber tooling include the fact that customized profiles can be designed to satisfy individual application requirements while interfacing with NAAMS-compliant components. The Assembly Tooling Standardization is aimed at cost reduction for components used to fabricate sheet steel bodies-in-white, front-end sheet steel and closures without compromising quality or performance.
