Heat Treatment Charts

TRACEABILITY

All materials will be traceable from purchasing through to delivery of manufactured components, including all testing and certification

VERIFICATION / CALIBRATION

Continual calibration of testing and measuring equipment as well as frequent verifications of dimensional inspection practices, and metrology to ensure client requirements have been met

ENGINEERING + DESIGN

Specializing in Rotors and other Rotating Mechanical Equipment, we have partnered with a team of experienced design engineers who use state-of-the-art 3D modelling, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and simulation software to provide optimized solutions to take your mechanical designs to ‘Finished Product’ with even greater accuracy.

OUR TECHNICAL EXPERTISE / PARTNERS ARE SUPPORTED BY:

Using Solidworks and AutoCAD Inventor, and 3D simulation design
Our design engineers analyze stress and strain by simulating the loads on mechanical components to optimize equipment, and use the data collected which includes deflection of component and safety factors of components in operation.
