ManufactUring
The first floor has been designed with the use of natural lighting, employee comfort and productivity in mind. The area is dedicated to the manufacture of Parachute Canopies, Harness / Container assemblies and system component parts utilising modern machinery and innovative manufacturing technics.
Computer Cutting System
Parachutes Australia was one of the first parachute manufacturers to utilise this revolutionary technology. With adherence to TSO certification in mind, the system produces remarkably accurate reproductions of designs in a wide range of sizes.
Advantages of the system are:-
- A hot knife seared edge of all panel cuts which results in a stronger more durable parachute.
- Accuracy to 1 mm.
- Automatic nesting of panels to maximise fabric use efficiency.
- Marked check points to aid manufacturing by way of support tape positioning and panel assembly.
Line Cutting
Parachutes Australia utilises a unique line cutting machine. This machine has proved invaluable in recent years and is the only one of its kind in the world today.
The line cutting machine automatically tensions the cord to a pre-determined force that ensures the accuracy of every parachute line set that we produce.
Embroidery
Personalised embroidery is another way to further customise your parachute system. Text, in a large range of fonts, can be embroidered onto your new Talon container and is a service that we offer at no charge to our customers.
