COMMUNITY

We develop advanced manufacturing processes, fixtures, & automated machines, complimented with product design and R&D.

OUR MISSION: TO BUILD CUSTOM MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT, TEST FIXTURES, & AUTOMATION THAT R&D AND MFG TEAMS LOVE TO USE

HOW TO LEVERAGE US:

From the early stages of R&D through formal device verification and into production, Pipeline partners with your engineering & manufacturing teams to translate user needs into engineering requirements and develop custom manufacturing equipment, turnkey test fixtures, & automated machines that characterize, inspect, assemble, manufacture, & perform verification testing on your devices.

EQUIPMENT, FIXTURES, & AUTOMATION

Benchtop automation, inspection stations, cycle test machines, and much more for accurate and repeatable test & manufacturing operations

PRODUCT DESIGN &
DEVELOPMENT

Mechanical design, industrial design, R&D, and design for manufacturability – everything from medical devices to consumer products

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT AND R&D SERVICES

Our R&D engineers invent new processes to test, inspect, and manufacture your products, then build your production equipment around these processes.

OUR PORTFOLIO

Creation is in our DNA. It has taken the world from the abacus to supercomputers. At Pipeline Design & Engineering, the drive to create—to reach into the void and transform a shapeless concept into a physical reality—is the most thrilling thing we do. How can we help your team develop custom manufacturing equipment, test fixtures, and automation?

Design Solution

FUNCTIONAL TEST STATION PROJECT SUMMARY
The functional test fixture allows an operator to simply insert and remove a device – the rest of the test sequence is fully automated via a custom LabVIEW program which steps through a multi-button cycle test and a vision system 360-degree scan that can encompass mechanical/quality characteristics as well as operational characteristics (such as RPM, speed, shaft straightness, vibration, and more.)

CYCLE TESTER TEST FIXTURE PROJECT SUMMARY
A custom medical device test fixture to actuate multiple mechanisms on a device in an automated manner. The custom program built to control the automation also provided the ability for an operator to easily reprogram the cycle process to alter several key parameters.

How can we help you?

How much time is your team losing because of equipment or fixtures that don’t work correctly the first time, or don’t produce repeatable, accurate results? How much time would your team save if they could focus on designing the product and simply have our team develop the equipment they need to test & manufacture the product?
