RELIABILITY ENGINEER

As the reliability engineer, Macek Power works to maximize machinery performance and up time by evaluating unit historical operating data, reviewing workscopes proposed by repair service providers, and visually monitoring work in progress in repair shops or the field. With more than 30 years experience supervising repair shop and manufacturing work, Macek Power is well positioned to help equipment owners answer the sometimes difficult questions needed to plan maintenance and repair strategies.

APPLICATION ENGINEERING

Macek Power application engineering services help clients specify and select machinery appropriate for a particular use. This includes evaluating existing equipment, such as from the surplus market, for a new application or installation location. Aside from technical factors, Macek Power considers delivery time, acquisition cost, and operating cost when advising its customers. Performance calculations made by Macek Power as needed, play an integral role in the process.

DESIGN ENGINEERING

Lube oil consoles and structural steel skid bases for machinery or entire equipment trains for example, are often engineered products. Characteristics such as rigidity, serviceability, operation, and installation method correspond to a need for engineering involvement. Experience, knowledge of applicable standards, and technical acumen make Macek Power an excellent choice for rotating equipment design evaluation or engineering.

REVERSE ENGINEERING

Macek Power offers extensive reverse engineering experience. This includes geometry acquisition using high precision measuring tools and structured light systems that generate 3D point clouds. Macek Power understands that reverse engineering involves much more than simply “scanning” a part and producing a CAD solid model. The real challenge is determining design intent and understanding which component part features are critical to fit and function, and which are not. Applying the necessary experience to the establishment of design intent not only assures that the newly manufactured component functions as needed, but it also translates to lower manufacturing cost.
