Receiving and preparation
All vehicles/chassis are inspected before entering the production line. Once all components verified and deemed fully operational, the vehicle is labelled, logged into the system, to initiate production. The vehicle is then stripped of all electric, sound proofing, and electronic components.
All components pertaining to each unit are labelled and tracked into our storage systems and assembly systems.
Armoring Process
Depending on the model, the Orion ® Group follows a rigorous process defined in stages of armoring assembly.
CAD 3D modelling is done on every vehicle, providing our production team with a clear process when using CNC cutting of each piece, the compiles the entire armored perimeter for each vehicle. The actual process of armoring with adding armor plates or light weight composites to the roof, floor, side walls and rear area starts. The vehicles are equipped with Orion® overlap systems installed in all vehicle openings and gaps between the doors and the vehicle’s frame. The suspension and braking systems are also modified and reinforced to handle the added weight of the armored perimeter. The operation then progresses to the protection of the battery, fuse box and ECM. Finally, the
vehicle is outfitted with high-performance run-flat tires.
Final Completion
Once the vehicle is fully armored, it is upholstered with plastic, wood or leather in accordance with the requirements of the customer. Our technicians pay special attention to small details in order to ensure the beauty of the finished product. If it is required, at this stage we also add special options such as sirens, dual door locks, spotlights, etc. Once the vehicle is fully re-assembled, it undergoes a strict quality control process. All vehicles are inspected by a trained team responsible for ensuring that the vehicle meets all armoring standards as well as performance and craftsmanship levels
