Thermo Forming Machine

Retrofitting Thermo Forming Machine

We successfully upgraded a traditional hydraulic-controlled thermoforming machine to a fully servo-operated system, delivering enhanced precision, speed, and energy efficiency. This retrofit project involved the integration of high-performance servo motors and a modern electronic motion control system, replacing the conventional hydraulic drive components.

Key Highlights of the Project:

  • Hydraulic-to-Servo Conversion: Replaced inefficient hydraulic cylinders with precision-controlled servo actuators.

  • ⚙️ Improved Cycle Times: Reduced machine cycle time significantly through faster, more responsive motion control.

  • 🌍 Energy Savings: Achieved up to 60% reduction in energy consumption by eliminating constant hydraulic power draw.

  • 📊 Better Process Control: Real-time motion tuning and force feedback for consistent forming quality.

  • 🔧 Reduced Maintenance: Elimination of hydraulic leaks, pumps, and oil systems led to lower downtime and maintenance costs.

  • 🧠 Smart Automation Integration: Enabled with advanced PLC and HMI systems for recipe control, diagnostics, and remote monitoring.

Surface Grinder 

Refurbishment

Surface Grinder

We successfully overhauled an aging surface grinder, restoring it to like-new performance while integrating modern technology for improved accuracy, reliability, and operational efficiency. This refurbishment project involved complete mechanical reconditioning, precision alignment, and the addition of advanced control features to meet today’s high-precision grinding requirements.

Key Highlights of the Project:

  • Complete Mechanical Overhaul: Restored all critical mechanical components including spindle, ways, and bearings for smooth, precise operation.

  • ⚙️ Enhanced Accuracy: Achieved micron-level flatness and surface finish consistency through precision alignment and calibration.

  • 🌐 Upgraded Control System: Integrated a modern PLC-based control with user-friendly HMI for simplified operation and monitoring.

  • 🔧 Improved Reliability: Replaced worn components and upgraded lubrication systems to extend machine life and minimize unplanned downtime.

  • 📉 Reduced Maintenance Needs: Implemented robust sealing and improved lubrication paths to reduce wear and extend maintenance intervals.

  • 🤖 Automation-Ready: Prepared the system for potential future automation and digital monitoring integration.

Underwater Vision Camera

Advanced Slow-Motion and Time-Delayed Video for Performance Analysis

Multi-Camera Underwater Vision System

We engineered a robust, multi-camera vision system tailored for underwater environments, designed to support slow-motion and time-delayed playback for real-time analysis. Originally developed for elite sports training, this system showcases our ability to integrate custom electronics, vision hardware, and intuitive software into one streamlined platform.

Our fully enclosed, waterproof system gives users complete control over camera parameters, including frame rate, resolution, and exposure settings. It also features a buffered recording mode, allowing operators to instantly save and review the previous 30 seconds of footage—ideal for applications requiring continuous observation without interruption.

Key Highlights of the Project:

🎥 Buffered Recording & Playback: Capture and instantly review the last 30 seconds of footage without stopping the session.

⚙️ Custom Camera Interface: Full manual control over frame rate, resolution, white balance, and exposure through a user-friendly interface.

🌊 Waterproof System Design: Engineered to operate in submerged or splash-prone environments with long-term reliability.

🧠 Real-Time Analysis Capability: Integrated slow-motion and time-delay playback to support detailed performance reviews.

📦 Onboard Storage & File Export: Local video saving and export for further off-site analysis and archival.

🔧 Field-Proven Flexibility: Modular design allows for expansion, relocation, or adaptation to different facility layouts.
