Engineering Teams

The Integrated Magnetics Engineering Department is a technically diverse group, ready to support your design and manufacturing requirements.

Our Engineering Team has three main functions:

Applications Group
Design Group
Manufacturing Group

Each group works to provide rapid and accurate customer support, working together as a concurrent team linking conceptual design to the manufacturing process, while ensuring quality standards will be met.

The Applications Group
The Applications Group is responsible for customer support. The diverse technical backgrounds of our engineering staff in the field of magnetics enable us to assist our customers in efficient product development. Some examples include: Initial design consultation, selection of materials, design reviews for manufacturing issues, quality planning, and quotations.

The Design Group
The Design Group is responsible for taking preliminary design requirements from the customer and applications engineer and from these to create an assembly or magnetic system capable of meeting all of the parameters. This group utilizes 2-D and 3-D Finite Element Analysis software for magnetic evaluation, self developed code for field strength and magnet sizing calculations, proprietary rotor dynamic models for rotating machinery and thermal and stress software packages. Where necessary, our Rapid Prototyping shop can quickly create samples to test concepts providing data to support designs.

The Manufacturing Group
The Manufacturing Group is responsible for taking customer approved designs and creating manufacturing plans for volume production. Complete design packages are created using CAD drawings and downloaded to CAM software when machined components are required. This group is also responsible for manufacturing and test tooling to facilitate the fabrication and magnetic test processes. The manufacturing group will follow the initial build of the product throughout each individual process and document methods and efficiencies. Process improvements are incorporated into subsequent orders with emphasis on cost control and cost reduction.
