Research & Development
Manufacturers come to Kinemetrix to solve the toughest challenges in their plants. The solutions to these problems are not found in a catalog. Kinemetrix has developed mature processes to bring technologies from the laboratory onto the factory floor.
In addition to a large dedicated laboratory space, Kinemetrix devotes a significant portion of our engineering labor budget to R&D. Areas of R&D activity include:
- Machine Vision Hardware & Software
- Special Mechanisms
- Leak & Flow Testing
- Board-level Electronics Solutions
- Software Tools
- Advanced Machining Methods
Where Science and Engineering Meet
Kinemetrix fosters a culture of continuous discovery. Our engineers stay current with research publications and the work of academic laboratories so they can act as a bridge between science and engineering. Capturing the advantages of new discoveries and delivering them to the manufacturing setting requires development effort. Our engineers keep one foot in a lab and the other foot in the reality of your plant floor when leveraging new technologies.
Rapid Prototyping
The tools and habits of R&D allow Kinemetrix to minimize risk when tackling difficult projects. The prototyping of high-risk mechanisms and processes is embedded into our engineering cycle. We can rapidly go from CAD to working prototype using our:
- 3D Printer
- Water Jet Cutter
- Laser Cutter
- CNC Press Brake
- CNC Wire Bender
- Machine Vision and Optics Lab
There are far fewer challenges to be solved at the end of the project if the risky elements have been tested in advance.
