Catalog designs & our own hardware
Northern Works is new; the parts below are our own catalog designs and the hardware we built for Northern Drone's survey work, not customer jobs. Every one was modeled, checked against its drawing and printed on the same machine your job will run on.
Holds round stock and finished surfaces without marring. Magnets retain the jaws on the vise; the V-groove centers tube and bar. Sized to your vise width.
Storage only — not for towing or any load-bearing hitch use. A socket for a 2" receiver shank that bolts to the pickup bed or a garage wall, with a pin slot so the hitch stays put. Stops the ball mount rolling around the bed or living on the garage floor.
Four PCB standoffs, snap-fit lid with four hooks, cable gland port, USB-C slot and vent slots. Resizing to your board is quoted up front.
Gusseted L-bracket for a belt-scale or proximity sensor, M6 countersunk feet on a 25 mm pattern, vertical adjustment slot. For light sensors and brackets, not structural loads.
Built for Northern Drone — not for sale
Before Northern Works had a name, the same printer was making the parts our survey crews needed and could not buy. These are shown as history; we do not sell aircraft-mounted parts.
Drone ground-penetrating radar payload
Enclosure, antenna standoffs and carrier for Northern Drone's drone-mounted GPR system, revised through field use. Built for our own aircraft, not for sale.
Aircraft mounting legs
Leg extensions and mounting brackets that give a sensor payload ground clearance on takeoff and landing. Built for our own aircraft, not for sale.
Case inserts
Foam replacements with finger scoops and drains, cut to the batteries and radios in each kit. Available as a catalog design for other operators.
Shop tooling
Two-color tags with embedded QR codes and press-fit magnets so the printer always knows which plate is loaded. Small, but it is the kind of problem we like.
Want yours here?
We only post customer parts with written permission, and we never post anything marked confidential. Most of what we print you will never see on this page.
