Regarding environmentally conscious product development
The carbon fibers in Futaba's CFRP are 100% reused material.
This makes it environmentally friendly.
Use of reused carbon fiber materials
The carbon fibers in Futaba's CFRP are material left as remainders or byproducts of other manufacturing processes, which we obyain for our use. the raw materials for this product are carbon fibers that would have been discarded if we had not found a use for themーindeed, if you had not made the choice to use it yourself.
Satisfactory quality requires the use of stable materials. The quality of carbon fibers we use to make Futaba's CFRP is rigorously inspected lot by lot.
Reliable quality even with reused materials
At Futaba Corporation,
we cherish nature and strive to protect the future of our planet by reducing environmental impact.

Examples of servo press machine applications
By reducing the weight of the center plate in the
servo press, we aimed to improve press speed and
reduce power consumption.
-
Center plate size: 450×320×35mm
-
Plate weight (Iron): 34.3kg ⇒ (CFRP: 5.9kg)
Effects:
-
Press Speed Increased from 7 spm to a maximum of 279 spm
-
Power Consumption Reduced by 30%
-
CO₂ Reduction Approximately 196kg/year (assuming servo motor power consumption of 750W, 8 hours of operation per day, 220 days/year)
