CORE EXPERTISE

TECHNOLOGIES

equipement-electromecanique-assemble-5lm

The technologies we handle are mechatronic, mechanical, electromechanical and magnetic systems.

OUR Solutions

motor-ipm-induction-magnetique-et-lignes-de-flux-5lm

Our solutions are customized to meet required performances within customer interfaces constraints and under harsh environment requirements (temperatures, vibrations, humidity, EMC… DO160).

OUR PRODUCTS

bobinage-electromagnetique-5lm

Our products fit in with your specific integration constraints and can be optimized especially regarding mass (weight) and reliability.

DESIGN TO COST

plan-plateau-cannelures-mecaniques-5lm

From the very beginning of the design process, we take into account the manufacturing issues, we consider feasibility and follow a design-to-cost strategy.

Design activities may include:

  • Assisting our customers in formalizing the specification of their need
  • Need analysis, compliance matrix elaboration
  • Research solutions for preliminary architectures
  • Sizing, dimensioning, computation (mechanical, thermal, magnetic and multi-physics analyses)
  • 3D CAD modeling
  • Simulation
  • Drafting, definition and manufacturing plans and drawings generation
  • Design Justification Document

RELATED ACTIVITIES

If the design is the core competency of 5LM, we can also assist you in related activities:

  • Project management
  • Support beside end-customer (follow-up, reviews, expertise)
  • Suppliers choice
  • Creation of assembly instructions or acceptance test procedures (ATP)
  • Design of assembly tools, and test tools for ATP or qualification
  • Project management of contractor’s activities in manufacturing for prototypes or pre-serial production (with your own factory, your suppliers or the ones we may recommend)
  • Assistance in qualification activities: redaction of qualification test plans, qualification test programs, qualification test procedures, qualification test reports
  • Assistance for product investigation (failure or other reasons)
