​

NK Labs engineers design novel mechanisms for projects where no standard approach is available. This allows us to meet our clients' project requirements for the most challenging projects. We build prototypes and perform tests to verify our clients' requirements have been met.

​

Building on proven machine elements, we can efficiently and quickly move to prototyping. Some of our mechanism designs have incorporated:

​

• Linkages

• Timing Belts

• Lead Screws

• Worm Gears

• Cams

​

Frequently, the mechanism designs are integrated into electromechanical systems which incorporate stepper/servo motors, sensors, embedded electronics, and other components. To optimize our customers' electromechanical systems, we utilize techniques such as:

​

• Rapid Prototyping

• Material Selection Matrices

• Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

• Environmental Stress Testing

• Analysis and Simulation

  • ​Structural and Vibration Simulation

  • Motion Analysis

  • Thermal Simulation
