CFRP/FRP pipe and rod manufacturing by sheet winding
Custom CFRP and FRP pipe and rod production using sheet-winding (SW) method for diameters 0.45–80 mm and lengths up to 4,000 mm, with integrated finishing.
Problem solved
Provides lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant tubular CFRP/FRP components for industrial equipment, robotics, sports, and specialty applications where standard metal pipes are too heavy or corrosive.
Application contexts
- Industrial equipment structural tubes
- Robotics and drone frame tubes
- Sports equipment shafts (golf, archery, fishing)
- Custom pole and rod blanks
Technical principle
Sheet-winding (SW) process applies prepreg fabric patterns onto a mandrel, followed by rolling, taping, baking, de-coring, cutting, centerless grinding, painting, and screen printing; company holds a utility model registration for the manufacturing method.
Typical use cases
- Lightweight structural tubes for industrial robots and drones
- Custom-diameter rod blanks for sports OEMs
- Corrosion-resistant process piping liners
