Machine Design Services & Engineering Analysis

~ We work on projects all around the world ~

We work in a modest office space, keep a low carbon footprint, are located in rural
North Dakota, and we have corresponding low overhead and low hourly billing rates
for professional engineering and design.

Example: Increased Capacity Design

Customer request for a redesign to achieve increased capacity at minimal cost:

An automated material handling lift with rotates (every other) discharged product, needs to be able to accommodate heavier product while maintaining the same throughput.

A design objective is to keep the 4-bar mechanism the same as previous models, and to change as few parts as possible from the old design.

We developed a new improved pneumatic cylinder geometry that provides increased lifting force, improved force profile, and better lift speed over the travel of the cylinder stroke.

This is an example of our ability to optimize your existing design to increase throughput or capacity.
