PEKO’s Machine Design and Build Process

Our machine design services are grounded in proven methodology, ensuring seamless execution of your equipment development projects. With our experts guiding you through each phase of the project, you can be confident that your custom machine design will not only meet but exceed your expectations.

Initial Consultation:

We start by taking the time to understand your unique goals, challenges, and requirements. Throughout this investigative phase, our engineers actively listen and pose insightful questions to ensure we fully grasp the intricacies of your project. We then collaborate closely with you to define its scope, constraints, critical parameters, industry benchmarks, and acceptance criteria, laying the groundwork for a successful machine design and build.

Concept Development:

Our team works with you to develop initial concepts and high-level ideas for your design, evaluating different technologies, components, and features and assessing factors like cost, availability, functionality, manufacturability, compatibility, and performance.

Carefully considering all major systems and parts, we’ll pick the best choices and make basic models conveying form, fit, and function, which we refine and improve together before beginning detailed design.

Detailed Engineering:

If your concept is viable, we’ll transform it into detailed designs, specifying materials, dimensions, tolerances, and manufacturing processes, applying DFMA and Value Analysis principles throughout. We then create 3D models and conduct simulations to assess integrity and performance under various conditions, addressing potential issues before manufacturing. The result is complete technical documentation that captures every detail of your custom machine design.

Prototyping & Testing:

Leveraging advanced techniques, we manufacture prototypes of your custom machine design. We are equipped to handle the entire prototyping process in-house, ensuring seamless equipment development and integration. Finished prototypes undergo rigorous tests evaluating functionality, performance, reliability, and safety under real world scenarios to gather critical insight that inform necessary design improvements, effectively resolving any remaining unknowns in the design.

Iteration & Optimization:

If changes are required after prototyping and testing, we initiate an iterative process to redesign, rebuild, and retest your custom machine design, incorporating informed adjustments in material selection, component geometry, manufacturing processes, and other enhancements on each successive build.

This continuous refinement resolves any remaining issues, ensuring your design meets expectations, specifications, and industry standards before finalizing it for mass production.

New Product Introduction:

Once fully optimized, we finalize the design and prepare a documentation package, including detailed engineering drawings, purchase-part specifications, assembly drawings, schematics, BOM, and test plans. Your custom machine design can then proceed directly into production within our facilities, where we deliver turnkey solutions through our in-house contract manufacturing capabilities, including machining, sourcing, fabrication, integration, and factory acceptance testing.
