Design Engineering

We transform your ideas into reality.

Our engineering services are a significant competitive advantage for us and our extensive capabilities in this area set us apart from most of our competitors. We can work as an extension to your own engineering function, or we can become your unique engineering department. Whether it's updating a design or creating the next generation product, we offer creative and innovative solutions to bring your products to life.

We work hard to make our design phase a defined process with milestones and approval ‘gates’ through our unique project management system, creating functional equipment that exceeds your expectations. Through the use of multiple CAD software packages (CREO Direct, CREO Parametric, and SolidWorks) IGES and STEP file conversion capabilities, and multiple file sharing options, we can work with any client platform. Our Engineering and Marketing Teams collaborate to understand product trends and innovations in the industry, assuring you of the most competitive equipment.

Our design engineering capabilities include:

  • Over 100 years of Engineering and Design experience.
  • Utilizing a formal system since 2012, Out Project Management executes New Product Introduction (NPI) with precision.
  • Project management using our own PMI based 6-phase process lead by dedicated Project Managers to assure disciplined organization, planning, management and control of your program development and introduction through cross-functional teams.
  • Data security and confidentiality being of the utmost importance, we have secure file sharing capabilities and systems in place to maintain integrity.
  • Capability of exporting CAD files direct to our lasers for fabrication to minimize processing errors.
  • We maintain current ANSI (American National Standards Institute), SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), ISO (International Standards Organization), and other applicable standards and specifications.
  • We can create and supply Operator's Manuals for designed and produced products.
  • We have computer-aided analysis, including In-house and sourced capabilities, including FEA (Finite Element Analyses), Kinematics, and Fatigue Analysis.
  • Real time product cost management throughout the design and development cycle supported by aPriori software.

Our product test and validation capabilities include:

  • Dedicated Test Engineer and three full-time Test & Development Technicians.
  • A dedicated prototype shop and product test lab.
  • Test equipment and capabilities including:
    • National Instruments Compac DAQ expandable data acquisition system.
    • A full range of strain gauges, pressure transducers, flow meters, thermocouples, accelerometers, and PLC controllers to handle almost any structural or hydraulic testing need.
    • Hydraulic power source with two 4000 psi pumps for hydraulic testing and accelerated durability testing in our lab.
    • Full function product testing on 40+ acres of various terrain at temperature extremes from -20o F to 100o F.
