Test Fixture for Laparoscopic Scissors
This semi-automated test fixture was designed and fabricated for a surgical device manufacturer. The mechanical design and fabrication included a feed and tensioning mechanism, a safety interlock cover, and part holding nests with precise clamping. The electronic design and assembly included stepper motors, force and position sensors, power supplies, a microcontroller, measurement circuitry, and status displays. The system design also included a digital microscope for close examination of each scissor as it made a test cut.

Safety Enclosure for an Electro-Hydraulic Press
A manufacturer of warehouse robots needed a safety enclosure designed, fabricated, and installed on a 25 ton electro-hydraulic press. The enclosure requirements included dual interlocks, positive engagement upon closing, a maximum of visibility into the enclosure, and an adjustable counterbalance spring assist for raising and lowering the enclosure door.
The mechanical design and fabrication included machining aluminum parts, cutting and joining aluminum extrusions, and making the polycarbonate front, back, and side windows.

Secure Passive RFID Seal
For a client with specialized item monitoring and security needs, we have designed and fabricated several different families of secure passive RFID devices with anti-tamper, tamper-evident, and self-destruct features.
This seal includes a permanently locking security cable which if cut or forced, will change the output of an internal passive RFID tag and will also provide a visual indication of tampering.
Most parts were CNC milled from stainless steel, aluminum, or plastic, or were 3D printed.
