Special Machines
Special machine development is our core business. We offer turnkey machines from specifications to on-site commissioning and maintenance. This experience enables us to offer services such as:
- Bringing old machines up to standard
- Development of test devices (calibration, endurance, vibration, etc.)
- Optimization of existing machines
- Development and assembly of machine tools
-
Study
A good decision is an informed decision. We take on your engineering challenges so you can concentrate on your core business. From concept definition to cost study, benefit from our experiences in carrying out projects to ensure yours runs smoothly. We propose:
- Drawing up of specifications
- State of the art
- Preliminary sizing calculations
- Concept studies
- 3D drawings and renderings
- Feasibity studies
- Cost study, tender campaign
- Safety studies
-
Conception
Moving from an idea to a detailed manufacturing plan requires state-of-the-art knowledge, ingenuity and mastery of the right tools. Thanks to the experience and passion of our engineers, we offer:
- Detailed sizing
- Computer-aided design
- Manufacturing drawings (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, fluids, gas, etc.)
- Bill of materials (BOM)
- Procedure definition
-
Analysis
Whether numerical or paper-based, analysis methods speed up the development process and cut costs by limiting iterations. A suitable physical model allows the specification of a system’s performance or the verification of its test results. We develop predictive models tailored to your needs:
- Sizing, mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetics and hydraulics
- Design and implementation of control laws
- Statistical prediction laws
We also specialize in the development of finite element analysis models:
- Ansys, Nastran, OptiStruct
- Thermo-mechanical, electromagnetic and fluid analysis
- Customized post-processing methods
- Correlation based on test data
-
Manufacturing and Integration
The Countdown Company is a reliable partner to ensure the realization of your projects. The combination of a design office, a machine shop and an assembly facility ensures efficient production. Our workshop offers:
- Prototypes and small production runs
- Machine assembly and maintenance
- Definition of assembly procedures
- Correction of high added-value parts
-
Test
Testing is essential to ensure that a machine or component is working properly. We offer testing services at various levels:
- Modal identification of machines
- Acceptance testing prior to factory installation
- Production of customized test benches (service life, performance, functional testing, etc.)
-
