In our growing client base are a variety of commercial
industries producing state-of-the-art magnetic bearings, optical scanning,
semiconductor manufacturing, disk storage and pick & place products. As
part of our design/development process, we address our customer product
parameters in a unique sequence of engineering functions.
Airex
typically utilizes design models matching the requirements of our unique
approach to electromagnetic design. The model is a fast access database
designed to match our customer requirements, which integrates computer
generated Lumped Parameter Models (LPM), 3D Solid Modeling (3D SM) and magnetic
/ thermal Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
 This
process begins by entering design input data into a LPM configured for the
selected design approach. A parametric model is generated using the LPM output
data. This 3D solid model is reviewed for mechanical compatibility with the
design concept. Initial coil characteristics are then input to FEA models along
with mechanical variables to characterize the magnetic circuit. The resultant
characterization of the magnetic path is then iterated through the LPM and the
3D solid model until the coil configuration is optimized to our customer
requirements.
 These interactive models result in an output that insures maximum
product performance, as well as prototypes that provide the final design
validation. Empirical test data is then put back through the development
process to insure the viability of our assumptions, to verify the model and to
optimize any of our customer design requirements. These models are based on
many years of experience in the development of a variety of magnetic
components.
The following illustrates the flow of our integrated design
process. |
