Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is a core competency at KMC Systems. The medical instruments we design typically require complex mechanical assemblies to automate medical testing or parts handling. The objective of our mechanical design process is to create cost-effective, producible, and reliable products. We design with assembly, testability and serviceability in mind. Designs are typically modular to simplify troubleshooting, field service, and spare parts management.
To conceptualize and optimize designs for form and fit, we are well-versed in a variety of CAD systems and analysis tools, including SolidWorks and Pro-Engineer, Cosmos, and Ansys. We’ll present you with several system- and subsystem-level design concepts before we proceed with the final concept. The mechanical engineers work in a product data management environment (PDM) to ensure integrity of the CAD data. We use finite element analysis (FEA) systems to analyze parts and assemblies as they are designed, creating a more efficient development cycle and ensuring more reliable and robust products.
In addition to the mechanics behind the medical devices we create, the mechanical engineering group is also responsible for designing the chassis, cover system, and packaging. We have expertise in packaging electronics, sensors, power supplies, and power distribution centers, and integrate thermal design management and electromagnetic interference design methods to meet system reliability and electromagnetic compatibility requirements. We are also skilled at designing a range of user interfaces, including disposables, access doors, displays, keypads, indicators, and alarms.
Whether engineering systems to move fluids, cuvettes or test tubes, or using linear or rotary handling mechanisms, we have mechanical engineers on staff with relevant expertise, including strengths in:
