JES Engineers Mechanical Subassemblies for Leading Automated Equipment Company
 
The Engineering Challenge
A global leader in the design and manufacture of photonic devices, systems, and automated equipment sought mechanical engineering and custom manufacturing expertise for mechanical subassemblies that were being incorporated into a new, complex, and very large automated machine.
 
The Engineered Solution
JES value-engineered the mechanical subassemblies that the Company originally attempted to design and build. The value-engineering effort included “beefing up” the mechanical subassembly so that it is better suited for the application, reducing the number of parts involved, reselecting materials, and enhancing the design for manufacturability. The resultant, custom mechanical subassembly, now in production, included heavy-duty steel slides, plates, sheet metal, hinges, and several other components.

JES Breaks the Paradigm in the So-Called Slide Market with New Patented Technology
Patented Technology
 
The Engineering Challenge
One of the world’s largest manufacturers of professional power tools and accessories sought an engineered slide solution for use in a new bench saw system. The engineered slide solution needed to (i) maintain reliable, smooth, and exactness of operability within its environment of heavy saw dust showers and (ii) extend and retract with minimal frictional resistance. 
 
The Engineered Solution
Venturing far beyond the typical boundaries in the so-called “slide” market, JES engineered a new design concept specifically for the bench saw system. The solution was a two-section slide: a C-shaped steel outer channel and a C-shaped steel inner channel over-molded with a lubricated thermoplastic material. The solution, awarded three United States patents, was able to withstand the high-debris environment and provide minimal frictional resistance during sliding.
