The new Hardy test rig facility accurately measures rod profiles and durability under different stresses and conditions. There are many reasons for the success of Hardy rods, but a central one is found well away from the hustle and bustle of the factory floor. Upstairs, in comparative calm, is what can only be described as a brand-new rod laboratory. Over the last two years Hardy have made significant investments in research, design and development facilities, which now form the core of HAC (Hardy Advanced Composites) technology. HAC is the research and development division of Hardy and manufactures composite tubes for the military and aerospace sectors as well as producing carbon fibre rod blanks for the angler. The company has invested heavily in the development of a state-of-the-art computer simulation system known as the Hardy Rod Simulator (HRS). This system was developed in-house by research and development engineer Colin Skene in conjunction with a number of European research establishments. The result has been to bring revolutionary ideas to composite technology.
