25 October 2022Employees of certifying organization IRI CONS carried out an audit of ORPE Technologiya business management system for compliance with the requirements of international standard ISO/TS 22163:2017. The audit covered divisions involved in design, development and production of railway transport transparencies.ORPE Technologiya Has Increased the Production of Structural Materials for Aviation and Space
20 October 2022The volume of output of polymer honeycomb cores, a structural material used in production of items and interior parts for aviation, space and other equipment, increased more than threefold. If in 2021 the enterprise produced about 150 m3 of polymer honeycomb cores, then in the first nine months of 2022 - more than 300 m3. By the end of 2022 the production volume is to be about 500 m3, in 2023 it is also expected to grow by 20% compared to 2022.The Report of ORPE Technologiya Employee on Introduction of Advanced Non-Destructive Testing Methods Was Recognized as the Best at the International Conference ICCT-2022
14 October 2022The report, prepared in co-authorship with Alexander Machikhin, associate professor at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, presented the results of practical work on production of innovative hardware and software complex for non-destructive testing, including an automated stand, a software for digital processing of infrared images and defect detection. Due to bringing the complex into service more than 100 parts from polymer composites were inspected using non-destructive testing method, in eight cases the unacceptable defects were revealed, for correction of which the boundaries of defective zone were specified and repair strategies were developed. As a result of the work and re-inspection, the parts, the total value of which exceeded 50 million rubles, were found to comply with the requirements of the design documentation and allowed for operation.
26 September 2022In 1983, Soviet aircraft designers were tasked with creating a super-manoeuvrable fighter. A forward-swept wing, a new design solution for our aircraft designers, could provide the required flight and technical characteristics. Moreover, it was decided to create a "black wing" made of polymer composite materials. It was a real challenge for the Soviet scientists and designers. In 1999, with enormous resources involved, the task was accomplished when the Su-47 was presented to the public at the MAKS air show. The machine turned out to be a success. The test team said that, unlike the other fighters, this one was "drivable" at extremely low speeds to supersonic speeds. ORPE Technologiya named after A.G. Romashin played a significant role in developing the fighter's carbon fibre-reinforced wing. The Test Station of ORPE Technologiya Will Be Able to Certify Products for Civil Aviation 
14 September 2022One of the test station's capabilities is to test the transparencies of civil aircraft for bird collision resistance. According to the International Civil Aviation Organisation, several thousand aircraft collisions with birds occur annually worldwide. Given that aircraft flies at a speed of several hundred kilometres per hour, such an incident could lead to severe consequences.Quality Management at ORPE Technologiya Meets Domestic Standards
8 September 2022During the inspection of QMS conformity to GOST R ISO 9001-2015 and GOST RV 0015-002-2020, the auditors evaluated the organisation of work of subdivisions of ORPE Technologiya, producing articles from polymer composites and special transparencies for the aerospace industry, including those intended for the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation. As some of the indicators of a high level of workflow management, the experts considered a 95% level of meeting quality targets, an average number of complaints per product under warranty not exceeding 0.000012% of production, and a high level of management involvement in the QMS. The company's 108 standards and 72 work instructions ensure compliance with the specified product quality requirements. In addition, ORPE Technologiya has developed and implemented a risk and capacity management standard based on monitoring and analysing external and internal factors affecting the manufacturing process of composite products and structural optics.
23 August 2022A current-conducting coating in the form of an ultrathin metal oxide film applied to the surface of one of the glass panes serves as a glass (triplex) heating element in the locomotive cab. When energized, the film heats the entire glass system uniformly without any hot and cold spots or optical distortions even for complex-geometry transparencies. In recent years, glasses with applied current-conducting coatings have been supplied by foreign manufacturers. Developments of ORPE Technologiya Were Used in Iranian Satellite Khayyam
12 August 2022Significant weight reduction while retaining the structural strength performance has been achieved due to the use of composites and improved assembly technique. Thus, the temperature control radiator has become 10% lighter compared to its previous analogues and the weight per square meter of the solar cell carrier is only about 400 g.ORPE Technologiya Has Increased the Output of Components for Integrated Circuits
4 August 2022Glass ceramics (sitalls) are high-strength materials produced by means of mass devitrification. Sitall substrates are intended for integrated circuits and various types of electronic devices. These are the substrates on which the conductive tracks and integrated-circuit elements are located, therefore the quality of such substrates directly influences the service life of radio-electronic devices. 
20 May 2022At ORPE Technologiya the employees' knowledge of regulatory documents and the procedure for implementing measures in the field of quality management is checked on a regular basis. This year for the first time this testing was implemented in electronic format, which allowed to give the most objective assessment of the employees’ knowledge level of the existing quality management system at the enterprise, and to identify areas that need improvement.ORPE Technologiya Confirmed Its Status of the State Scientific Center of the Russian Federation
18 May 2022ORPE Technologiya is a leading domestic developer and manufacturer of science-intensive products made of polymer composite, ceramic and glass materials for various industries and one of the three State Scientific Centers of the Russian Federation of the Rostec State Corporation. One-third of the employees - more than 600 people – are employed in the research sector, nearly half of whom are under the age of 39. The annual volume of work performed per researcher is 2.3 million rubles.
26 April 2022The only technique in Russia certified by Rosstandart makes it possible to reliably determine the dielectric characteristics of structural materials at the design stage in the temperature range up to +1200 °C. This technique makes it possible to reduce the time of development work and laboratory research due to the optimal radio-engineering design and modeling of radio-transparent fairings of high-speed aircraftORPE Technologiya to Increase Supply of Components for the Space Industry
