WHERE IT ALL STARTED
For more than 4 decades
Rotair’s performance in supplying quality helicopter replacement parts has made the company the industry leader. It is a reputation that has come about through continual striving for excellence in every area of our business.
The parts you purchase from Rotair meet all the design and performance requirements of the original component. Testing to and frequently beyond specification is standard procedure. This helps assure that only conforming parts are shipped to our customers. Rotair’s precision extends beyond product quality into such areas as technical support, research, inventory control, record keeping, and packaging and shipping. Around the world, Rotair is your number one source for most Sikorsky and selected Bell helicopter components. We are prepared to prove that we offer you levels of precision, availability, and service unsurpassed by any other source.
Rotair has the experience to manufacture parts that match the performance of the original components, and extensive experience in overhaul and repair, especially for UH-60 components.
Our people are the key. They have years of experience in the design, engineering and production of critical helicopter parts, much of it gained with Sikorsky and other leading aircraft manufacturers. Because of our backgrounds, we understand the importance of strict attention to detail in every phase of manufacturing, assembly and testing.
In short, we have the ability to recognize perfection, and we strive for it in every aspect of the service we provide.
The right tools
Rotair employs the latest in high technology inspection and testing equipment.. Typical of this advanced equipment is a coordinate measuring machine offering the fastest and most accurate checking of parts against specifications, and a Bendix 6040 Formax™, to measure and record the geometry of round parts with extreme precision. Rotair has invested millions of dollars in inspection and production testing equipment. The specialized equipment in our environmentally controlled inspection area includes a complete selection of hardness testers, optical comparators, an electronic surface finish instrument, film and plating thickness testers, as well as a complete array of gauges and measuring instruments. Our production department employs sophisticated testing equipment including a test vibration system, a computer controlled environmental chamber capable of cycling from -87° to +191° Celsius, electrical, hydraulic, and pneudraulic test stands, and sophisticated avionics test equipment. Complementing these capabilities is a Class 100,000 “Clean Room” capable of exceeding Class 10,000, if required.
Just for the record.
Quality is our foundation. Rotair’s commitment to quality is reflected in everything we do, from the purchase and inspection of the simplest standard hardware, through carefully documented processes, to the production of our most complex components. This commitment to quality extends to final inspection, packaging, and shipment to the customer. Our stringent quality procedures require that we maintain complete records on the manufacturing, testing, and inspection of all components and we employ digital bar-coding with computerized manufacturing and inventory control to help manage the process. Significantly, our Quality Assurance department reports directly to the President. The quality process includes on-site surveys of our subcontractors—reaching down to the lowest tier vendors— before orders are placed. We thoroughly check parts and components arriving at our plant against drawings and specifications before acceptance. Subcontractor product is subject to continuous inspection during the entire production cycle. Our Technical Data Department maintains up-to-date drawings and specifications to ensure that all information is current, complete, and legible.
