Video: Autometrix test Carbon Fiber Gantry Beam made by Innovative Composite Engineering

Autometrix Precision Cutting Systems sold their original (and still in operation) cutting system in 1992.  Since then they have lead the industry with fast, reliable cutters and pattern creating software.  In 2003 Autometrix teamed with Innovative Composite Engineering to develop the industry’s first ultra-strong, lightweight Carbon Fiber Gantry.

This Carbon Fiber Gantry is designed to be extra stiff, fast, yet smooth moving and very light.  With these goals Autometrix also wanted to ensure they did not sacrifice any quality and demanded a strong, hard-working beam.  ICE delivered and the original beams from 2003 are still in service today.

Recently Autometrix put the strength of the beams to the test and highlighted it’s strength in this video.  Watch as they eventually drive the front wheel of a hummer onto the beam to measure it’s deflection.  Autometrix systems are proudly made in the USA and distributed around the globe.  For more information about Autometrix visit: www.autometrix.com 

Innovative Composite Engineering manufactures a wide variety of structural composite tubes and shapes for the automotive, aerospace, industrial, recreational, defense and oil & gas industries.  ICE specializes in taking complex engineering problems and turning them into manufacturing realities with winning results.
