2 PHASE BODY PRODUCTIONUpdated a year ago

A boom with a rotational front-end needs side „bumpers“ to avoid the front-end from moving sideways. Usually these side „bumpers“ get moulded together with the rest of the boom body in „one shot“. This is how every carbon boom is produced. The problem with this process is that the carbon fibers get „folded“ in a 90° angle which causes a potential weak/breakage-spot. Our experience from the past showed that the majority of breakages occurred at exactly this spot. 
Since 2019 all PLATINUM booms are made in our unique 2 PHASE BODY PRODUCTION. Means the side „bumpers“ get moulded onto the rest of the body in a 2nd process AFTER the body is finished. Since that time we don’t see any breakages in that area anymore.
The downside of this process is that the outside of the bumper area doesn’t look perfectly smooth. But rest assured this is purely aesthetic.
