Special equipment
Antenna pedestals, radar mounts and imaging gantries
Small volume, tight specification, no catalogue part. These projects are usually the ones where a machined ring is cheaper than an adapted standard one, because the interface is decided once and never changes.
What makes these projects different
The loads are modest but the accuracy and the environment are not. A satellite pedestal may need arc-second repeatability in a salt fog; a medical gantry needs silence and zero backlash in a clean room.
- Low-backlash crossed roller structures
- Stainless and coated options for salt-fog sites
- Quiet running: cage-guided rollers and low-noise grease
Prototype to series
Most of these projects start with one unit for qualification. We keep the drawing and the process record, so the tenth unit is made the same way as the first.
- First article with a full dimensional report
- Process record kept for repeat orders
- Serial numbering for traceability
Working with a specification rather than a drawing
When the requirement arrives as a performance spec rather than a drawing, we propose a geometry, you approve it, and it becomes the controlled drawing.
Send the performance specification
Repeatability, load, envelope and environment are enough to propose a geometry for approval.
