Work and case studies

Real jobs, with the problem, what was done, and what came out of it. More case studies are added as projects wrap up.

3D scanned, drawn from 1960s drawings, fixtured, welded and tested. Original problems fixed, original look kept.

Adjustable front and rear bars for a Ford dealer-option Mustang that cornered at 1.18 g on street tires.

A cracking plastic robot and an overheating pump replaced: duty cycle from about 20% to 100%, 250,000-vend life test passed.

Belt, rollers, bearings, covers, handrails, crate and display: full-machine factory returns cut by more than 90%, as reported by the manufacturer.

A bolt-in piece with a 20-minute install, 33% shorter throw, and the shift feel kept.

3D scans of old parts turned into drawings that modern manufacturers could build to fit.

Small changes that got to the root cause: grounding, fasteners, foam, fuses, robots and bushings.

About 120 hand-wired screw terminals down to a handful of plug-in connectors, with one-screen operation.

Vending machine control boards, an industrial controller, a stepper controller and a treadmill display.
