The SKIN 2 P’s lines are made from Edelrid Aramid, which is also used in
other Niviuk models with proven efficiency.
The Aramid lines are not sheathed, thus directly exposed to potential
abrasions. Consequently and in accordance with the EN certification
recommended guidelines, lines must be inspected by a professional
certified servicing centre every hundred hours. These high performance
materials require particular attention before each flight.
The fabric used to manufacture the glider is guaranteed to be light,
resistant and durable and will not experience colour loss.
From Olivier Nef’s computer to fabric cutting, the operation does not
allow for even a millimetre of error. The cutting of each wing component
is performed by a rigorous, extremely meticulous automated computer
laser-cutting robotic arm. This program also paints the guideline markers
and numbers on each individual fabric piece, thus avoiding errors during
this delicate process.
The jigsaw puzzle assembly is made easier using this method and
optimises the operation while making the quality control more efficient.
All Niviuk gliders go through an extremely thorough and detailed final
inspection. The canopy is cut and assembled under strict quality control
conditions facilitated by the automation of this process.
The lines are semi-automatically cut to length and all the sewing is
completed under the supervision of our specialists.
Every line is checked and measured once the final assembly is
concluded.
Each glider is packed following specific maintenance instructions as
recommended by the fabric manufacturer.
Niviuk gliders are made of premium materials that meet the requirements
of performance, durability and certification that the current market
demands.
Information about the various materials used to manufacture the wing
can be viewed in the final pages of this manual.
