LZ DesignWorks supports machine builders, automation companies, manufacturers and engineering teams with concept development, reviews, calculations, machine design, robotics and specialized project work.
Our focus is on assignments where experience and engineering judgment can make a meaningful difference—whether that means evaluating a concept, checking a design, solving a specific mechanical problem or completing a defined design project.
Services can be provided independently or as an extension of an existing engineering team, remotely or on-site as required by the assignment.
Early decisions have a major effect on complexity, cost and performance. We support the development and evaluation of machine and equipment concepts before significant effort is committed to detailed design.
An experienced independent review can identify functional, manufacturing and assembly issues before drawings are released or equipment reaches the shop floor. Reviews can be focused on a complete machine, an assembly or a specific design concern.
We provide focused engineering calculations and analysis to support design decisions, verify mechanical systems and size components. The level of analysis is matched to the problem rather than made unnecessarily complicated.
Mechanical design support for custom machinery and industrial equipment—from an individual mechanism or machine section through to complete specialized equipment. Designs are developed with practical manufacturing, assembly and service considerations in mind.
Mechanical engineering support for automated and robotic equipment, including the mechanical elements surrounding the robot—not simply robot selection. We can support cell concepts, tooling and integration of the equipment required to make the process work.
LZ DesignWorks can supplement an existing engineering team for clearly defined assignments where additional senior mechanical engineering capability is needed. Support can be structured around a specific deliverable or an agreed scope of ongoing work.
We are best suited to focused mechanical engineering assignments rather than general engineering manpower.
Clarify the technical objective, available information, interfaces, constraints and expected deliverables.
Use practical engineering judgment, calculations and design methods appropriate to the problem and project stage.
Deliver clear concepts, reviews, calculations, design information or project support that the client can act on.
Tell us what you are working on, where the project stands and what kind of mechanical engineering support you need.
