CFRP support structure for Cray X skeleton by German Bionic Systems
CFRP instead of aluminum – there is a lot of potential in the support structure
Product developers at German Bionic Systems had defined a lighter and more rigid
support structure in the specifications of the fourth generation of the Cray X exoskeleton.
For this purpose, the previous aluminum bending part was to be replaced by a CFRP
structural component. The company turned to SGL Carbon to develop and manufacture
the ready-to-install component.

CFRP reinforcement of ProsFit Integral prosthetic socket
Demands: CFRP reinforcement with a batch size of 1
The ProsFit Integral is the latest prosthetic socket made by the award-winning Bulgarian
company. ProsFit chose SGL Carbon as its development partner and manufacturer of the
structural CFRP parts in individual production for the patient-specific carbon fiber-
reinforcement of the new product. SGL Carbon combines everything that this demanding task
requires: Comprehensive material and process know-how, the technical equipment at the
Lightweight and Application Center as well as experienced experts from simulation-based
engineering to fully automated production of unique products.

SGL Carbon - your technology partner and solution provider
Technology partner for innovations in medical technology
We support you in the transormation of components into CFRP structural components and take over the prototyping. All component transformations are simulated and tested in advance by using digital twins. The result is then transferred into a prototype. This saves time and accelerates the development time.

Exosceleton robots wearing CFRP
German Bionic Systems launched the fourth generation of its Cray X exoskeleton to actively relieve the lower back and it has not only become smarter, but also significantly lighter. Instead of the previous aluminum solution, SGL Carbon has developed a more rigid support structure made of CFRP that only weighs half of what its predecessor weighed.
About us
Company portrait
SGL Carbon
We are leaders in the development and manufacture of products based on carbon, graphite, carbon fibers and fiber-reinforced composites. In partnership with our customers, we develop intelligent, trendsetting, and sustainable solutions that deliver a clear benefit. With our in-depth material, engineering, and application know-how, we make a substantial contribution to the major future topics mobility, energy, and digitization.
Discover our CFRP structural components and solutions for medical technology
Whether for leg prostheses or stretchers for operating tables, in numerous medical applications, our fiber composite components offer plenty more benefits than other options. And not just because of their advantages in terms of weight. However, while the material itself is not yet the solution, we support our customers as both development partners and component manufacturers. And we accompany the product development by state-of-the-art simulation technology.
Although not personally at the COMPAMED 2020 in Düsseldorf, we would like to present our know-how in engineering, optimizing and producing CFRP structural components for healthcare products. One example is the innovative support structure of the new German Bionic Systems exoskeleton.
