Ultra Large Diameter Autoclave

Coming in early 2024, a massive 20-foot operating diameter autoclave will accommodate next-generation nacelle structures, wings and stabilizers for wide-body aircraft, and rocket and space vehicle components.

Indoor Anechoic Transmissivity Range

Testing methods which examine transmissivity at various frequencies.

Acoustic Perforation

State-of-the-art robotic perforation capabilities for the acoustical treatment of nacelle and engine products.

State-of-the-art Automated PAA and FPL Clean Line

Removes contaminants to the sub-micron range before assembly utilizing metal cleaning and product finishing process, including PAD/PAA and FPL/PAA.

High-capacity Robotic Acrylic Coating Cell

A state-of-the-art production cell for high-rate application of abrasion-resistant coatings on acrylic products.

NORDEX® 918: NORDAM’s proprietary cast acrylic manufactured to MIL-P-8184

NORDEX® 188: NORDAM’s proprietary stretched acrylic manufactured to MIL-P-25690

Vacuum Brazing

Vacuum brazing processing utilizing a high-temperature environment for metal joining.

Close Tolerance Milling and Routing Machines

NORDAM uses large-area routers and precision milling machines to meet customer precision requirements and improve manufacturing efficiency.

Innovations

Nbrace

Winner of the industry’s coveted Crystal Cabin Award, Nbrace™ is a new aircraft seat-track attachment technology from NORDAM. It exponentially increases the range of possible passenger cabin configurations and reduces the size, visual weight and literal weight of in-cabin furnishings. With Nbrace™ these furnishings can appear to be floating on air.

WeatherMASTER®

Our proprietary WeatherMASTER® technology provides enhanced durability and protection from impact and water ingress while maintaining transmissivity. The result is a longer-lasting product that offers increased reliability in the field.

FAA Substantiated MRO Solutions

With years of experience across numerous platforms, we offer customers NORDAM-developed and engineered repair solutions that are immediately ready to utilize.

Proprietary Core Slotting Technology

Technology that automatically applies a predetermined cut into the heart of the composite core cells, eliminating the degradation of the core cell wall.
