Industries where composite material excels

Composite materials are well known for providing light weight structures and components due to their excellent specific strength and stiffness.

However, composite, polymer and other non-metallic materials in general have a broader range of properties to meet the most severe challenges from extreme fire, chemical resistance to withstanding very high voltage whilst providing heat and mechanical resistance and severe abrasion. This ability to determine the best combinations of properties of the material for a specific application is a fundamental advantage of modern composites.

ATIMA-TPIM is active in a range of market sectors where smart machining and composite material properties can exploit these advantages to provide new and exciting products.

Steel Rolling mills wipers collars bearings

Steelmaking - Rolling mills

ATIMA-TPIM has, for more than 2 decades, supplied rolling mills with wipers, block bearings, chock liner and thrust collars through Europe, United Stated and many more countries across the world.​

Our Wipers, bearings and Collars components accurately meet the imposed performance standards and maintain consistent quality thanks to our proprietary WARTEX® composite fiber material. In this way we contribute to an efficient production process for our steelmakers customers, so that they can optimize the cost price and quality of their product while limiting the down time.
 

Ground transportation

Ground Transportation 

Our machining solutions techniques are particularly applicable to the production of wear parts for the transportation sector such as train, buses or automotive. For insulation components, mechanical or sensors housing of  engines, transmissions, gearboxes and clutches, we carry out the precise and regular shaping of parts, often very complex. With the environmental impact of fossil energy, composite materials have the power to drastically reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

 

Aerospace industry

Aerospace - Defense

ATIMA-TPIM manufactures custom flight-critical subsystems and components for customers in the aerospace and defense sectors. We excel at developing and applying advanced manufacturing solutions to help our customers solve highly complex technical challenges.

​

For decades, we’ve provided precision-machined parts to major OEMs. We work with virtually all composite, foam and other non-magnetic  materials, including high-temperature grades.

Energy Wind Turbine Wear Parts Composite Material

Energy Industry

The use of composites in renewable energy will play an increasingly vital role through the manufacture of structures which enable the harnessing of sustainable energy sources. Factors such as the reduced weight compared to metallic structures, lower transportation and erection costs, and most importantly, lower maintenance costs over the lifespan of the structure are already positioning composites as a de facto material enabling economical solutions to large scale projects.

Industrial Insulation Composites Foam Aluminium Plastic

Manufacturing Industry

Improving manufacturing and industry maintenance efficiency while maintaining high product quality is a common challenge in production facilities. Together with automation, advanced composites have undoubtably boosted productivity, but rising consumer demands drive a need to further optimise production equipment.
By incorporating composite components into automated machinery, production speed and maintenance parts can be increased while reducing down-time.

Medical device industry composite

Medical-Life Science Industry

Composite materials have wide range of medical uses such as in surgeries, implants, artificial limbs, instrument materials, medicine device production and diagnostics. Medical composites lower the weight of an instrument, which in turn offers better positioning for patients and generation of more efficient medical devices. End-users of medical composites are medical device companies, pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic imaging centers, research centers, and others.

Modern Kitchen

Interior Design Industry

In addition to having a smooth and even surface, an infinite range of possible colors, the composite sheet has unique features to interior architect and designers, such as the easy shaping, low weight, the high washability and resistance to heat, cold and scratches. With the low price and high durability (ex: solid surface) compare to other materials, the designers can create the most beautiful and varied changes in interior spaces. Easy transportation of composite offers another remarkable advantage professional in kitchen , wall decoration among many other applications.
