Electromechanical Engineering

Machines that have to move, sense, switch and survive a shop floor — mechanical design, power, controls and instrumentation treated as one problem, because that is what they are.

Most of the firm's work is electromechanical. A laser ablation system is a frame, a motion system and a thermal path as much as it is optics and power electronics, and splitting those into separate disciplines is how a machine ends up with a control architecture the mechanical design cannot accommodate.

So it is handled together: enclosure and frame design, motion systems, thermal management, power distribution, control architecture, instrumentation, and the safety interlocks that make high-energy equipment safe to stand next to. Plus the unglamorous detail — fastener schedules, service access, cable routing — that decides whether a machine survives contact with the people using it.

There is a process side to this too. Taking a prototype to repeatable low-rate production means designing the build sequence, the fixtures and the test steps, not just the product. And a fair amount of the work is retrofit: diagnosing equipment somebody else designed that has never quite worked, and making it work.

Capabilities

  • Machine, enclosure and frame design
  • Motion systems and custom production equipment
  • Thermal management and heat-path analysis
  • Control architecture, power distribution and panel design
  • Instrumentation, sensing and real-time monitoring
  • Safety interlocks for high-energy equipment
  • Prototype to low-rate production, including fixtures and test steps
  • Field troubleshooting, retrofit and commissioning

Every engagement is scoped and priced to the project.
