Engineering

Engineering is at the heart of our business. We can help you achieve an optimized magnet solution for virtually any need, by application, by cost, by leadtime, by reliability, or by design!

Concurrent engineering from the start of a program always yields the best overall results - for efficiency, quality and cost. We work with our customers from the start of major programs for best speed-to-market.

Design Engineering

• Permanent Magnets - selection and specification
• Finite Element Analyses - to model magnet system performance
• Magnetic Assemblies - design for manufacturability, design to cost, acceptance test development (see our Picture Gallery for examples)
• Electrical Machines - through our CMI Integrated Technologies sister company we can design to functional specification complete electrical machines (more on CMIIT)
• Sub-System Integration - concurrent engineering to ensure smooth integration and interface points into your system

Concurrent Engineering for Critical Programs

• Design process
• PDRs
• CDRs
• Alpha, Beta and production unit qualification

Quality Engineering

• Advanced quality planning
• MTBF and MTBR calculations
• Establishing control limits and plans
• Copy Exact methods sheets
• In-Process Gates to ensure zero defects
• Acceptance Test Procedure development
• Shock, salt, fog, humidity and vibration testing
• Defect, root cause and corrective action analysis
• Continuous improvement plans

Manufacturing Engineering

• Design for manufacturability
• Design to cost
• CNC Machining and Grinding programming
• Machining tooling and fixturing
• Assembly tooling and fixturing
• Inspection tooling
• Go / No-Go gauging
• BOM and Router control
