The Numatics APG possesses extensive manufacturing capabilities complimented by an experienced workforce. Products are designed globally, using parametric CAD software on common servers. We use a sophisticated computer program called “Numasizing” to assist customers in optimizing component selection, which ultimately helps reduce costs in both components and compressed air usage. Numatics APG engineering team: Alex Cherviovskiy, Scott Menko, Kan Hom, Jay Dalal, Mike Brown, John Ball (left to right). An environmental test chamber validates new and existing designs to ensure optimal performance in real-world conditions. All products undergo a battery of tests prior to shipment. For example, each refrigerated dryer goes through a 30-step qualification process. Each unit is pressurized with nitrogen then leak tested. All portions of the refrigeration system are checked. The units are energized with the integrity of the electrical system inspected. Compressed air filter elements are manufactured through a proprietary vacuum formulation process. A laser particle counter verifies element performance and integrity of the seals. A comprehensive test and quality control program is in place for all filtration product lines. Filters are pressure tested for leaks around critical sealing points. Sonic and spin welding equipment is used to manufacture custom filters employing thermoplastic housings. Our in-house manufacturing and performance validation allows us to control the process from start to finish and maintain full ownership of product performance. In conclusion, what can customers expect from Numatics APG in the future? We don’t think of ourselves strictly as a supplier, but as technology partners for our valued customers. We will remain committed to providing custom solutions, continuous improvement in our designs and in the development of new, energy saving technologies. We will keep pace with the changing market and technological advances. Thank you for your insights.
