SMA ribbons

Flash Demonstration

Manufactured using NiTi, SMA Ribbons & bars exert high forces which prove useful in the seperation of glued or tightly-packed layers.

The SMA Ribbons/bars lie flat in a recessed cavity between two layers of the assembly, which are glued together using an epoxy-based adhesive. At Af the SMA ribbons/bars revert to a pre-trained share, pushing the layers of the assembly apart.
