Mechanical systems contain a multitude of components that interact in complicated ways. The ability to model these interactions before fabricating physical components saves time, cost and risk during development. Soloosion engineers conduct a variety of kinematic studies to make sure our designs work and are manufacturable.
Development of control firmware for small programmable logic devices, such as CPLD's and FPGA's
Developing systems for movement and manipulation of fluids, including electronic controls of pumps, valves, flow meters, pressure sensors, heaters, etc.
System design and control implementation for motorized systems. Specification of motors and drive components. Specification and design of motor controllers and integration of off the shelf motor controllers
Design and programming of process control equipment using programmable logic controllers and human machine interfaces, programmed using ladder logic
Architecture and detailed design of control systems for electro-mechanical systems, including mechanical analysis, control algorithm design, and software development
Architecture, development, and deployment of software targeted at control systems for electronic devices. Particular emphasis on bare metal and real time operating system development
Design of electronic circuits, including circuit design and analysis, component selection, schematic capture, PCB design, and hands-on testing and troubleshooting. Special strength in microcontroller based embedded systems, switching power supplies, and interface circuitry
Ensuring that assembled components can mate together in best- and worst-case scenarios is something every client seeks. The Soloosion Engineers will analyze Least Material Conditions (LMCs) and Maximum Material Conditions (MMCs) of the mating components and will design part tolerance that maintain the intended fit interface between the parts.
When finalizing an injection molded part design, the Engineer must begin to consider the risks of properly designing and building the mold. This includes identifying what gating strategy to employ, and in what location to place the gates. While some Engineers might rely on their experience alone, the Soloosion Engineers rely not only on their experience but on plastic flow simulation as well; this ensures that they properly optimze gate size and placement and identify risks that may have gone otherwise unnoticed during a design review.
Properly designing a plastic injection molded part requires a set of design knowledge that can only be gained through direct experience and training. With over 45 years of combined injection molding expertise, the Soloosion Engineers will keep your functional needs intact while optimizing your design for injection molding in creative ways to reduce risk and complexity.
A developed design is only marginally useful if it is not able to be manufactured at scale. Our clients rely on the expertise of the Soloosion Engineers to ensure their designs are manufacturable using appropriate manufacturing technologies, not only for developmental testing, but more importantly for high-volume manufacturing and assembly.
Vetting out uncertainty in a design before it is fully manufactured saves our clients time, dollars, and headache during development. The Soloosion Engineers integrate advanced computational analysess in the form of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to investigate risks related to linear and non-linear applied loads, vibration and dynamics, thermal distribution, and computational fluid dynamics.
Through the use of SolidWorks 3D Modeling software and the integration of Enterprise PDM for design control & management, the Soloosion Engineers create the mechanical details of your vision in 3D space.
