Concept Development & Engineering Advice
Equipment concepts, layouts, mechanism selection, preliminary sizing, component selection, feasibility review, design alternatives and cycle-time considerations.
We help machine builders, automation companies, manufacturers and engineering teams solve well-defined mechanical engineering challenges—without adding a full-time engineering resource.
Discuss Your Project
From early concepts and independent reviews to calculations and detailed machine design, LZ DesignWorks supports defined engineering assignments with practical, senior-level experience.
Equipment concepts, layouts, mechanism selection, preliminary sizing, component selection, feasibility review, design alternatives and cycle-time considerations.
Independent review of functionality, mechanical design, manufacturability, component selection, assembly, maintainability and general engineering practice.
Force and motion calculations, component sizing, drive calculations, structural calculations, mechanical system analysis and FEA where appropriate.
Custom machinery and industrial equipment, including mechanisms, drive systems, tooling, structural assemblies, conveyors, material handling and packaging equipment.
Robotic cell concepts, equipment layouts, reach and cycle considerations, EOAT, machine tending, palletizing, loading/unloading and mechanical integration.
Defined mechanical engineering assignments for machine builders, automation integrators, manufacturers and engineering teams needing additional senior capability.
Concept development, mechanism selection, sizing, calculations, design review and detailed machine design are approached with manufacturing and real-world operation in mind.
Our experience extends beyond CAD models and calculations to manufacturing, assembly, installation and commissioning.
LZ DesignWorks supports companies that need experienced mechanical engineering capability for specific assignments, small projects or ongoing technical support.
If you have a machine-design problem, a concept that needs development, a design that would benefit from an independent review, or a project requiring additional senior engineering capability, we'd be happy to discuss it.
