Testing of Carbon Fibers

The importance of carbon fibers as a reinforcement material in energy-saving lightweight composites is well accepted. Fast and reliable, i.e. automated, linear-density- and tensile testing of carbon fibers thus becomes increasingly important. Due to the special properties of carbon fibers an automatic handling of individual filaments has been considered to be problematic. TEXTECHNO in Mönchengladbach realizes an automated test of linear-density- and tensile properties on such carbon filaments in their automatic fiber test system FAVIMAT+ with ROBOT 2.

Automatic linear-density and tensile testing on carbon fibers

Automatic single-fiber linear-density and tensile tests on up to 500 individual carbon fibers are possible with the FAVIMAT-ROBOT 2 and FAVIMAT-AIROBOT 2 of Textechno. These carbon fiber testing techniques are described in this article.
