Manufacturing Process of Carbon Arrows

Forming & Peeling

Select suitable mandrels and roll the arrow shaft on an automatic rolling machine. Then peel off the outer film layer of the carbon arrow shaft.

Impact on carbon arrow shaft characteristics

This step affects the shaft’s straightness, spine, and weight.

Heating & Curing

Send the formed arrow shafts into an automatic drying oven for heating and curing.

Impact on shaft characteristics

After processing, this step affects the shaft’s spine.

Grinding & Cutting

Send the shafts into an automatic grinder for grinding to remove burrs on the outer surface, or for matte finishing. Cut the ground shafts to the appropriate length.

Process detail

Precision grinding ensures consistent diameter and smooth finish; cutting to exact length prepares shafts for subsequent measurements.

Weighing & Measurement

Send the shafts into an automatic weighing machine for weighing, measure the outer diameter, taper, and spine of the shafts.

Parameters controlled

Weight tolerance, outer diameter consistency, taper accuracy, and spine value are recorded and sorted according to specifications.

Appearance & Straightness

Inspect the shaft appearance for defects; those failing appearance inspection are scrapped. Qualified shafts undergo straightness measurement.

Inspection criteria

Visual defects include scratches, dents, fiber irregularities. Straightness is typically measured with laser sensors; shafts exceeding tolerance are rejected.

Painting & Drying

For shafts requiring special textures (such as wood grain patterns) or specific colors, perform painting, then send them to a drying oven to bake the paint.

Surface finishing

Paint application can be matte, gloss, or textured; drying cycles are precisely controlled to avoid film defects.

Transfer Printing & Coding

Print stripes, logos, shaft specifications, etc. on the carbon arrow shafts according to customer’s requirements.

Marking details

High‑resolution inkjet or transfer printing ensures permanent identification of spine, batch code, and brand logo.

Assembly & Fletching

Installing nocks,fletching, point, or pins if required on the carbo arrow shafts, and perform 100% appearance inspection.

Quality assurance

Fletching alignment, nock fit, and glue application are visually checked; any deviation is corrected or scrapped.

Lasering & Packaging

Laser production dates on the packaging boxes and pack the carbon arrows into boxes.

Each box is labeled with specifications, quantity, and date; Carbon arrows are secured to prevent damage during transport.
