Unique composite ‘Run-Flat’ system with RTM by Carbon ThreeSixty
Composite Integration customer Carbon ThreeSixty are a specialist carbon composites company providing partners with R&D and prototype manufacture infrastructure that delivers bespoke specification wheels and runflats.
The company recently partnered with a leading defence sector wheel system provider to develop concepts and demonstrate manufacturing readiness for a next generation lightweight runflat protection product, comparable to those widely used to provide escape & evade capability to land defence vehicles such as armoured personnel carriers.
The existing system consists of a transfer-moulded rubber body, reinforced with a central steel spine and fasteners. Carbon ThreeSixty developed a cored thermoset composite component that met or exceeded the performance of the existing offering, whilst dramatically reducing the mass from 26 Kg to 12.5 kg, a reduction of over 50%.
Carbon ThreeSixty Ltd harnessed the exceptional performance of advanced carbon composite materials, and through expert application of high value manufacturing techniques such as dry-fibre preforming technologies and resin transfer moulding were able to deliver a solution that met the client’s price expectation and production volume requirements.
Composite Integration supplied the CIJECT 2 RTM equipment used in the development and production of the moulded components and assisted with general technical support where necessary.
