Our senior engineer has over 25 years of experience designing and implementing automated production lines, manufacturing such products as batteries, audio and video cassettes, computer disks, medical devices, electronic components, and aerospace components to name a few. We have experience with screw machines, welders, indexing systems, conveying systems, dies, presses, robots, and part feeding of plastics, metals, glass, and rubber. We also have significant process scale-up experience, and can turn benchtop processes into semi or fully automated equipment tailored to the exact customer requirements.
Whatever the job, our staff has the skills and years of industry experience to get it done right.

We have worked with various businesses, specifically automation design and equipment manufacturing for the magnetic media industry, from media winders, slitters, and punches, to VHS cartridges and 2MB high density floppy disks assembly lines. We have also worked in equipment manufacturing for medical devices, aerospace components, and commercial products.
We also have experience in battery development, vapor deposition, high vacuum, foil and thin film winding and handling. We designed and implemented tracking systems for a prototype winder, new crucibles, shutters, and controls for vacuum chamber, converted a high speed production winder from lithium Ion to Lithium Sulfur which included reprogramming a 15 servo system and adding a vacuum column for low tension control of the lithium foil web.

Additionally, we have upgraded a thin film winder by replacing all controls and adding an automatic cut and splice station. The servo system change increased the acceleration from 18sec. to 3.3 sec., the run speed from 1000fpm to 1150fpm, and the deceleration from 12sec. to 3sec. all while maintaining 8kg of tension in the web tapering to 4kg of tension at the end of the roll.

While working for another company, our founder designed a high speed burnisher for the 3.5 floppy disk. The machine was patented and 62 of them were manufactured before the company was purchased by Magnatec for the patent rights.
