Efficiency is an omnipresent topic, especially in the vehicle manufacturing sector. Not only the vehicles produced but also companies are measured by the extent to which savings potential is sustainably exploited.
In this field, the use of highly efficient materials is essential. The material CFRP offers the best properties in terms of stiffness and strength and is extremely light, with a damage tolerance that is second to none.
ACTION COMPOSITES is the only manufacturer of carbon wheels to use complex braiding technology. The rim beds are manufactured on the world’s largest radial braiding machine with a diameter of nine metres.
Compared to conventional manufacturing processes, braiding technology offers considerable advantages: The seamless processing of the carbon fibres increases the strength and damage tolerance of the product.
No other material stands for innovation and progress as much as carbon does. The continuous fibre composite enables a weight saving of up to 80% compared to steel having the same load capacity.
Due to its low inertia and thermal expansion, the material offers particular safety under mechanical and thermal loads and it is corrosion-free. There are no limits in terms of design, because CFRP can be shaped into almost any form.
Pioneering spirit and innovation, experience and continuous improvement, cutting-edge technology and service quality have made us a global player and developing partner.
ACTION BIONIC CARBON was realized by engineering a unique geometry.
Its new engineering approach combines bionic topology optimization in CFRP and latest FE-Methods for composites whilst using standard automotive carbon fibre materials, considering the geometry of the installation space and the material specifications at the same time. The manufacturing process was customized for the complex geometry to combine a hollow structural part with a visible carbon fibre finish in one shot, all in accordance with FIA specifications!
Light. Strong. Stable. Tough. Constant. These characteristics are unique for the carbon fibre, embedded in a polymer matrix, and form the basis for the composites from Action Composites.
Carbon fibres are the lightest material for the highest quality and
performance requirements in the automotive and motorcycle
industry.
At the cutting edge of development, there is no room for compromise. Any requirement you place on your component – we apply the best technology in each case. Our radial braiding machine is the largest in the world and the core of our production processes. As a result all our wheels are unique, ultralight and highly endurable; this technology is protected by a number of patents. ⠀
