Aerofoil ski poles
Product requirements :
- Ultra-lightweight carbon fibre ski poles with aerofoil section.
- Must be strong to withstand normal activities but, for safety
reasons, must break at a pre-defined load.
- Smooth, polished surface, with no jagged edges.
- Impervious to adverse weather conditions.
- High volume production at lowest possible cost.
Solution :
This aerofoil section cannot be produced using
conventional ski pole manufacturing technology. However, C2
Composites utilised bladder moulding to provide the shape, whilst
careful control of fibre orientation results in an ultra-light pole
which meets stringent 3 point bending criteria.
