services: engineering design

engineering design requires experience in a range of technical fields.

mechanical design

mechanical engineering design is part of everything we do. Be it a completely passive mechanism or a complex actuated robotic device, Kinea employees bring years of experience.

electro-mechanical design

kinea's engineers have extensive experience in electo-mechanical design, which is our core competency. We have developed systems ranging from industrial intelligent assist devices for automobile production, to transmissions for prosthetic arms, to robots for physical therapy.

control systems design

the design of the control system is often an afterthought during the development of an electro-mechanical system. Our engineers have the experience to know the difference. Knowledge of the controls requirements is imperative during the design of the mechanical components, since they guide the selection of many of the components (such as sensors, transmissions, etc...) used and design decisions required for the development of a controls system that can run at optimal performance. Our controls engineers are an integral part of all design review meetings, starting with the first phase of development and through completion of the project.

sensor design

many of our projects have required the development of custom and novel sensors: force, position, non-contact ... we innovate. We have developed many novel sensors and welcome the challenge of developing one that satisfies your needs.

analysis

FEA, FMEA, FTA, and Risk Analysis are familiar techniques.
