Abstract: An arm made of composite material, and relative production method, consisting of a plurality of articulated segments with a longitudinal main axis (x), pivoted to each other, each of the articulated segments comprising a box-like structure and at least a joint element attached thereto by means of gluing, the box-like structure having an end cooperating with an end of the joint element on the inside of the surface of the joint element. The ends define a substantially conical reciprocally overlapping area and have profiles concordantly inclined by an angle (?) with respect to the longitudinal axis (x).

Abstract: A method to make a curved tubular element comprising obtaining a first external curved tubular component, and a second internal curved component made of a material with a greater resistance to wear than the first external curved tubular component, and having a cross section which covers a portion of the internal surface of the first external curved tubular component. The first external curved tubular component includes at least two parts. Each of the parts has a cross section which is a respective portion of the complete tubular section of the first external curved tubular component; to bring the at least two parts near each other along respective connection edges, disposing the second internal curved component internally in contact with at least one of the two parts; to weld the at least two parts to define the first external curved tubular component and to enclose therein the second internal curved component.

Abstract: A method to make an arm for the distribution of concrete, or other material similar to concrete, used on heavy work vehicles, wherein the arm comprises a plurality of segments selectively folding and extendible one with respect to the other. Each segment comprises a main girder and auxiliary elements for connection to adjacent segments or for attachment of movement and/or supporting devices for the pipe that carries the concrete. The method comprises a first step in which each main girder is formed, with a predefined length, by depositing a plurality of layers of pre-impregnated composite material in a female type mold. The method comprises a second step in which the composite material, deposited in layers in the mold in a variable number of layers, is subjected to polymerization. The method comprises a third step in which each main girder is removed from the mold and a fourth step in which the auxiliary elements are associated with each girder so as to form a relative segment.
