More comfort Lighter More comfort Lighter Less Pumping Less pitching Less heeling

First thing coming through your mind when you are talking about a carbon mast is obviously the weight saving, but besides that, the center of gravity is very critical. A lighter top mast head will induce less pitching and less heeling,which improves performance and comfort. The optimum weight saving can only be achieved by using pre-preg material cured in autoclave. Lorsque l’on évoque le mât carbone, l’avantage le plus connu est le gain de poids. Il faut également noter que la répartition du poids est également essentielle. En effet, plus le poids en tête est faible, moins il y a de gite et...

Technical details Choosing a carbon mast is not an easy process as there are a lot of points to be considered. The main elements to consider are : the composite modulus (weight) the tube section (windage) the manufacturing process (weight and different finish) the mast and rigging geometry (weight, center of gravity (CG)) the hardware: mast head, spreaders, sheave boxes, rigging...(weight) The top management of Axxon have an experience for more than 30 years in carbon mast manufacturing and composite industry. These elements have a significant effect on the mast weight (which can vary from 20%...

2. The tube section The stiffness of a mast depends on the composite modulus used in the manufacturing process (with an equal thickness and diameter, a rubber tube will be less rigid than a steel one), but also of the tube inertia, (at an equal weight, it's easier to bend a 50 mm tube than a 100 mm diameter tube). Therefore, the mast engineering is a compromise between the section size, the wall thickness and the fiber modulus, taking into account the loading in the various panels (distance between the deck and the spreaders). For boats of similar sizes, the weight and section will vary depending...

Détails techniques Choisir un mât carbone n'est pas aisé car beaucoup de paramètres entrent en jeu. Les principaux éléments qui caractérisent un mât sont les suivants : le module du composite (poids) la section du tube (fardage) le procédé de fabrication (poids et finition différente) la géométrie du mât et du gréement (poids, centre de gravité (CG)) l'accastillage : capelage, barre de flèche, boite à réa, gréement...(poids) Le top management d'Axxon possède une expérience de plus de 30 ans dans la fabrication de mâts carbone et dans l'industrie du composite. Tous ces éléments peuvent faire varier...

2. La section du tube La rigidité d'un mât dépend du module du composite utilisé (à épaisseur et à diamètre égal, un tube en caoutchouc sera moins raide qu'un tube en acier), mais aussi de l'inertie du mât (à poids égal, il est plus facile de fléchir un tube de 50 mm de diamètre qu'un tube de 100 mm de diamètre). Par conséquent, le calcul d'un mât est un compromis entre sa section, son épaisseur et le module de la fibre utilisée, tout en tenant compte des forces en présence dans chaque panneau (distance entre le pont et le premier étage de la barre de flèche ou distance entre deux étages de barres...

The laser cutting machine has leading technology, powerful cutting ability, fast cutting speed, precise and superior stability. Pre-preg carbon cutting machine

The Thin Carbon Layer Technology offers even more performance. The new laminating techniques with thin pre-preg layers allow more weight saving and get the possibility to reduce mast section and windage at the same time. Lighter, more aerodynamic, our carbon masts are now even more competitive. Laminating room
