[  LAMINATE WALL TUBING  ]

Basic Structure Reimagined:

Reach further
Improve performance

Precision-layered laminate tubing for robotic booms and EOAT — tuned for damping, weight and deflection.

Techreo laminate tubing for robotic end-of-arm tooling

[ ABOUT ]

Located in Cincinnati Ohio, Techreo has developed a novel, patented approach to robotic structures which enables us to custom-design each part’s mechanical properties to the customer’s needs. Precision winding and layering the right materials in the right sequence produces unique properties which exceed traditional options and improve accuracy, cycle times / throughput, and capacity.

[ THE TECHNOLOGY ]
