Product Details
Factory-Integrated Metal Threaded Inserts for Secure Assembly
Machining and tapping threads directly into high-strength composite panels often leads to fiber fraying, delamination, and weak mechanical retention. To solve this engineering hurdle, YT Carbon supplies precision carbon fiber plates with threaded inserts manufactured via advanced CNC routing and professional metal insert integration. Specifically, we embed high-strength brass heat-set inserts or stainless steel press-nuts into pre-drilled composite holes, ensuring maximum pull-out and torque resistance.
High Specific Strength with Minimal Weight Penalty
Traditional metal backing plates or thick aluminum mounting brackets add substantial deadweight to critical structures. In contrast, our composite plates utilize 100% continuous Toray carbon fiber prepreg. Specifically, our precise lamination and hot-press molding maximize fiber volume fraction, delivering exceptional structural rigidity, superior vibration damping, and an optimal strength-to-weight ratio for demanding high-load environments.
Plug-and-Play Installation and Reliability
For automation engineers, drone builders, and robotics developers, time-to-assembly is critical. For this reason, our pre-loaded threaded plates provide ready-to-bolt installation straight out of the box, eliminating the risk of on-site thread stripping. Moreover, with flush-mounted fastener integration, your assemblies maintain a clean aerodynamic profile and precise mechanical alignment.

Production Process
We manufacture our carbon fiber plates using high-pressure hydraulic hot-press molding, followed by precision CNC machining and hardware integration. Here is our step-by-step manufacturing workflow:
- Prepreg Cutting & Layup — We cut Toray carbon prepreg layers and stack them in engineered orientation sequences to achieve maximum structural rigidity.
- High-Pressure Hot Press Molding — Stacked plies undergo thermal compression in multi-ton hydraulic presses to eliminate voids and cure the epoxy matrix.
- Multi-Axis CNC Routing — Our CNC centers mill plate outer contours, drill precise mounting holes, and cut internal pockets according to CAD data.
- Threaded Insert Integration — Technicians press, heat-set, or rivet brass/stainless steel threaded inserts into designated holes with high positional accuracy.
- Torque & Pull-Out Testing — Sample components undergo rigorous mechanical torque and axial pull testing to ensure reliable insert retention.
- Final Quality Inspection — We perform 100% caliper dimension checks, thread gauge verification, and protective packaging prior to global dispatch.
