For a better understanding of our technical information, we have created a glossary in which you can look up the meaning of technical terms. We are constantly expanding this glossary.
AFRP – Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastic
CFRP —Carbon Fiber Reinforced plastic
C/SiC Green Bodies — Carbon Fiber Reinforced-Silicon Carbide components, used in high-performance applications such as brake pads for high-speed elevators
CT Bed — Patient beds for use in computed tomography
FRP — Fiber Reinforced Plastics
FCT — fiber composite technology
GRP – Glass-fiber Reinforced Plastic
Monocoque — (French) body consisting of a single shell that absorbs all or most of the stresses
MRI Beds — Patient beds for use in magnetic resonance imaging
PET-MRI tables — patient tables for use in positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
Plug & Play systems — Extremely simplified final assembly of our fully completed systems
PU Foam — Polyurethane Foam
RTM — Resin Transfer Molding (pressurized resin injection process)
TFP components — Tailored Fiber Placement — variable-axial fiber-plastic composites used for ultralight construction applications
