Services
Custom Machine Design
We create turn-key mechanical systems tailored to specific manufacturing requirements. Our engineers use systems engineering methodology to develop made-to-order solutions that integrate seamlessly with production workflows. The process includes value engineering to optimize cost-effectiveness while maintaining structural integrity and operational efficiency.
FEA & Advanced Analysis
Our team performs Finite Element Analysis to validate mechanical designs through static, dynamic, and thermal simulations. This service includes PE-sealed stress reports, material optimization recommendations, and safety factor verification. We combine software analysis with classical hand calculations to ensure accurate engineering validation.
Below-the-Hook Lift Devices
We design ASME B30.20 compliant lifting fixtures for specialized manufacturing applications. Our solutions include ergonomic lift assists, vacuum lift systems, and aerospace ground support equipment. All designs undergo rigorous structural analysis and can be PE-certified for regulatory compliance.
Box Girder Systems
Our CMAA-compliant box girder designs support overhead crane applications with single and double box configurations. The service includes fabrication drawings optimized for material efficiency, weld specifications, and bill of materials documentation sealed by licensed professional engineers.
Failure Analysis
We conduct root cause analysis of mechanical failures using combined FEA simulations and physical testing. Our investigation process identifies design weaknesses, material fatigue factors, and safety compliance issues to prevent future system failures while providing detailed technical documentation.
