Airex performs low volume, high quality production
work for high performance markets. Electromagnetic assemblies include custom
coil configurations, linear motors, rotary motors, voice coil actuators,
magnetic suspensions, magnetic bearings, fixed & rotary transformers and
many more. We have complete
design
capabilities from Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to component level
manufacturing designs to complete system design.
 Our
quality
system is world class and second to none. We routinely manufacture product
and inspect components to tolerances below .00005". We use modern, automated
manufacturing equipment including in-house cleaning and electrostatic coating
capability. We perform ID/OD grinding to +/- 50 millionths of an inch. We are
equipped for contacting and non-contacting ID and OD measurement and roundness
testing to < .000020". Our use of vibration testing and thermal shock
capability will qualify your components to space standards.
 Our unique
capabilities in control technology are used extensively in
automated
manufacturing and inspection systems for high reliability magnetic
components. We produce difficult windings of critical proportions and are
unmatched in the industry for quality and performance. We are equipped for
winding a variety of specialty motors, and employ a wide range of custom and
commercial winding equipment to that end. Our in-house engineering and design
capacity are well suited to your specialized projects.
Airex builds high
reliability magnetic components for space, aerospace,
commercial and
medical markets. We have supplied these components to preeminent organizations
such as NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Litton Guidance and Control Systems,
Raytheon's Santa Barbara Research Center and Hewlett Packard's Medical Imaging
Systems Division. By dealing directly with manufacturing issues, Airex has an
exceptional understanding of the solutions to manufacturing problems
 encountered in these components, as well as the design techniques
utilized to avoid those problems. We are also well positioned to find
applications for commercialization efforts.
Airex abrasive waterjet
(AWJ) technology is also linked to programs that require cost effective
magnetic iron laminations from prototype through production quantities. The AWJ
technologies developed by Airex increase the availability of high permeability
magnet irons where laser cutting or punching of laminations damage the flux
carrying capacity of the iron. We utilize these special irons in applications
such as high performance magnetic bearing systems or highly constrained
physical conditions.
 The impact of our unique capabilities is to reduce development
costs and time to market for both government and commercial applications.
Additionally, the technology meets the high performance and maximum reliability
requirements for brushless motor designs needed for critical Navy applications
and guidance system components in Air Force weapons systems.
Our
facilities also include a machine shop capable of developing prototype and
permanent tooling, as well as development systems for robotic type motion
control for automated inspection or assembly efforts. Airex has been designing
automation machinery for key projects and specialty applications for over 50
years. These projects range from simple modification tooling to custom,
microprocessor-based, robotic automation equipment. |
