About Our Custom Engineering Services

Our experts in mass properties can assist you with your most difficult projects. We have provided engineering and consulting services to our customers to help with a range of critical process.

Gimbal Design

Design a gimbaled platform to simultaneously minimize jitter, minimize weight, and account for balancing corrections. Gimbal design is crucial in high-precision industries, such as aerospace and defense, where balancing corrections are necessary to prevent sensors and components from shifting.

Error Analysis

Errors are inevitable in measurement and experimentation because of instrument limitations, human involvement and environmental factors. Our engineers are here to develop approaches that mitigate these measurement errors. We identify errors with detailed calculations and statistical techniques, like standard deviation.

Understand the true uncertainty of measurement. Avoid common mistakes when performing error analysis. Quantify fixturing errors. Understand the effect of tare measurement on total uncertainty.

Custom Fixture Design

Identify the most important parameters when designing fixtures for mass properties instruments. Find the best compromise between weight, stiffness, and cost. Drive the cost of fixturing down by using proper positioning techniques.

Every component is unique, and fixtures are essential for obtaining accurate mass property measurements. With a correctly designed fixture for unique components, you can achieve measurement repeatability, increased accuracy and reduced external influences.

Accuracy and Repeatability Consulting

Understand the difference between repeatability, uncertainty, resolution,

and sensitivity. Our accuracy and repeatability consulting focuses on optimizing measurement processes to enhance your techniques and ensure consistency. Our engineers will evaluate your current systems and perform studies to quantify instrument variation. We may also recommend a custom fixture design to improve measurement accuracy.

Our team can also train your engineers and quality professionals to support ongoing repeatability and accuracy in instrument usage.
