Specialized Linear Motion Design

Need a custom linear motion solution?

The toughest motion control and automation problems usually require some custom design engineering work. Our engineers have been designing customized solutions for decades. Chances are, we may have already developed a similar solution that may fit your application.

• Custom Design. We design and build linear motion components and subsystems that help machine developers save money while speeding time to market. Delivered as turnkey solutions, these components and systems are easily integrated into wide array of OEM machines. 
• Build To Print. We can build, test, and even ship it with your personal markings and appearance. Our engineering services team routinely designs and builds private label finished products for aerospace, defense, semiconductor, and biomedical customers. 

Streamline Your Design Process

We apply solid modeling and finite-element analysis (FEA), as well as industry best practices such as tolerance analysis, risk analysis, and comprehensive testing protocols to ensure all products perform to exact requirements. Design and process verification/validation tools are employed throughout the product development cycle.

Life testing with predictive tools, data for prognostics, performance wear models, and proof testing under multiple operating conditions helps to reduce design cycles. 

Tools & Testing

• Engineering Analysis and Predictive Tools
• CTQ/KPV Engineering Specification Process
• Design and Test for Fault Tolerance and Prognostics
• FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
• DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report)
• Process validation to 21 CFR Part 82 (Medical Device)
• Reliability, DVP&R, Overload/Proof End of Line, Certification
