Titanium tubing ring for engine inlet          de-icing of the Boeing  C-17
On site bellows manufacturing capability from one to 36 inches
Automatic machine welding of flex joint assembly              


An example of Arrowhead Products’ capability is the design of the complete bleed air ducting system for the F/A-18 E/F aircraft. From environmental control and anti-icing systems to large diameter fuel lines for space vehicle propulsion, Arrowhead’s metal ducting and flexible components function reliably and efficiently under all operating conditions in either the atmosphere or in space. To ensure process repeatability, the company’s flex joint assemblies utilize the latest resistance welding technology and automatic machine fusion welding processes. Arrowseal connectors, integral flange-flexjoints for tight envelope requirements, pressure balanced compensators, as well as balanced tie rods, ball struts, and bulkhead seals are indispensible for aircraft.

       

A commitment to continuous improvement, combined with aggressive research and development efforts, has allowed Arrowhead Products to create lighter and more efficient versions of these vital parts in any configuration and size. Used by such firms as Boeing, Bombardier, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, Arrowhead’s metal systems and components reflect an ability to work in concert with its customers. By combining the engineering expertise of these companies with Arrowhead’s materials, design and manufacturing capabilities, creative solutions are achieved that meet any business, economic and operating requirement.
