Edare offers several highly-engineered products as well as the services that took them from benchtop prototypes to production.
FASTENER MEASUREMENT TOOL (FMT)
Accurate measurement of fastener profile relative to the aircraft skin is critical for high-performance military aircraft. Current measurement methods are unable to provide the required accuracy and speed, are difficult to use in tight areas, and demand skilled operators. The large number of fasteners on each aircraft demand a measurement tool that is fast, easy...
WIRELESS AUTOMATED HEARING TEST SYSTEM (WAHTS)
Registered as a medical device with the FDA, Edare’s WAHTS provides hearing testing without the need for a sound booth. The headset significantly outperforms other headsets on the market, while providing attenuation comparable to that of a sound booth. Background noise attenuation is provided with integrated highly attenuating ear cups. All electronics for the audiometer...
LASER-WELDED HEAT EXCHANGERS
Edare has developed novel manufacturing technologies to build and deliver lightweight, high-efficiency heat exchangers for gas turbine engines, cryocoolers, and other applications. A main benefit of Edare’s laser welding expertise is the hermetic joining of thin metal plates and microtubes using materials such as stainless steel, Inconel 625, titanium, aluminum, and silver. The laser welding...
COMPACT SWAGING MACHINE
Existing methods for attaching arresting gear purchase cable terminals on ships are labor intensive, dangerous, and time consuming. Edare’s Compact Swaging Machine (CSM) is an advanced hydraulic system that replaces the current methods with a safe, highly automated process that significantly reduces maintenance hours and keeps arresting engines ready to recover aircraft. While the current...
STARROTOR™ C2S-01 GEROTOR COMPRESSION SYSTEM
The StarRotor (www.starrotor.com) C2S-01 is a small, lightweight, oil-free, compression system that provides 13 CFM (360 LPM) with a pressure ratio of 7.6. The measured motor electric power is 4.2 kW when compressing air at 1 atm and 20°C. The complete C2S-01 mass is 28 kg, which includes two gerotor compressor assemblies in a two-stage...
CRYOGENIC MACHINING
Edare is well-versed in the development and implementation of advanced manufacturing systems. Several of the Edare staff were involved in the development of a novel, patented Cryogenic Machining System (CMS) that is currently transitioning to use among the F-35 Lightening II Joint Strike Fighter supplier base. This technology uses small flow rates of liquid nitrogen...
