Motion Control Systems
We develop precision electromechanical actuation systems for aerospace applications including flight control surfaces and medical devices. Our DO-178 Level A certified smart-servos enable reliable autopilot functionality in commercial and defense aircraft. These systems incorporate redundant sensors and digital control for fail-safe operation in critical flight systems.
Electric Power Systems
Our advanced power distribution systems support next-generation electric and hybrid aircraft through high-efficiency 400Hz AC/HVDC converters. We engineer clean power solutions meeting MIL-STD-704 requirements with 97% efficiency using SiC MOSFET technology. These systems address increasing electrical demands in modern aircraft while maintaining regulatory compliance.
System Integration Labs
We design and construct state-of-the-art integration laboratories for testing electric propulsion systems and complex avionics. Our facilities support FAA/EASA certification of high-voltage systems and have been used for platforms including Boeing 787 and advanced air mobility vehicles. These labs enable validation of thermal control, communication, and navigation systems in operational environments.
Medical Device Components
We manufacture AGMA 14 quality gearboxes and motion control systems for medical equipment including surgical robots and diagnostic instruments. Our components feature anti-backlash designs and high-accuracy geartrains that meet strict tolerances for life-saving applications. These products serve leading medical device manufacturers worldwide with reliability and precision.
FAA Certification
Our team provides system-level certification services for aerospace components under FAA CFR Part 25 requirements. We support iron bird testing and conformity assessments for primary flight control systems. With experience in DO-178 and DO-254 standards, we ensure software and hardware compliance for both new aircraft programs and aftermarket modifications.
