Filament Wound Carbon Fibre Tubes
Roll Wrap Carbon Fiber Tubes
For increased strength and properties in all directions, filament winding is an effective method in manufacturing carbon fiber tubes.Filament wound tubes are cost effective and have excellent properties, however, the largest limitation is on length of the winding machine.
DJT CARBON produces carbon fiber tubes in variety of shapes, sizes, materials and designs.Carbon fiber tubing is available in a variety of diameters and wall thicknesses, Other carbon fiber tube shapes such as oval, square, rectangular, hexagonal are available.

Filament winding is the process of winding fiber material and resin around a shape, known as a mandrel, to create composite product. The process of filament winding is typically used to create circular composite products with a hollow core. The filament winding process can utilize many different fibers and resins to achieve desired characteristics for the finished component. The end result is an extremely efficient process to create low cost, lightweight, and strong composite materials.
Filament winding has many advantages in the process of creating hollow composite products. Advantages include:
Weight
Design
Automation
Cost-effective
While roll-wrapping and filament wound construction are different processes and have some different limitations and benefits, they are often used to construct similar structures. In each case, carbon fiber is rolled or wound around a steel or aluminum mandrel in the shape of the end product. The carbon is wrapped with heat shrinking tape to create pressure and is then cured (pressurized and heated until hard). Once cured, the tape is removed and the hardened part can be sanded to its final diameter and shape.
