Aerospace Turbocharger Development (Mission Critical)
FAA Certification of turbocharger products for manned flight engine applications running on Jet-A.
Implementation of Quality Systems to support volume turbo production of these products.
Industrial Turbocharger Development (Long-life product that is worked hard)
Development through post-production support of industrial turbocharger products for Waukesha Engines, Kohler Power Systems, and Rolls-Royce. Industrial applications run 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week at 80% of rated power output and require a 30,000-hour life target...not easy.
Light-Duty Diesel Truck Turbocharger Development (High Volume Production)
Development and production launch of electro-hydraulically actuated variable geometry turbochargers for the Ford Power Stroke and GM Duramax Diesel applications. The GM and Ford production volumes were in the 100,000's units annually. This required project execution excellence at these volumes, since a systemic warranty event would be financially catastrophic.
Micro-Turbine Generator Development
Exposure to a 75kW micro-turbine generator project that utilized foil air bearings.
Test System Development
Design, build, commission and optimize fully automated hot gas test stands for turbocharger performance measurement; diesel engine dynamometer test cells; and fully automated end of production line test systems.
Aerospace Manufacturing
Aluminum and magnesium casting, heat treatment, straightening, non-destructive testing (dye penetrant and radiographic), QA inspection, machining, and finishing
Performance Automotive Aftermarket
Making cars go fast by exploring design space that gets freed up when OEM durability requirements are relaxed.
