Core
Services
Lennox-Gentle
Automation specializes in Design, Engineering, and Project
Management. Conforming to the most current industry
standards, we
provide our customers with complete engineering packages at affordable
costs. Specifically, we can assist you with getting your
product
from Concept, to computer generated Solid Model, to an Actual Prototype
or Machine.
Solid
Modeling and Documentation
All
projects are designed, modeled and detailed using the latest version of
SolidWorks® Parametric Modeling software. This software
allows us
to “virtually” build each assembly and check for Form, Fit and in some
cases Function (including possible interferences), without ever
building an actual physical part. This process saves the
customer
both time and money during the design phase of the project.
Utilizing
this parametric modeling software we are able to create cleaner, more
accurate designs while at the same time providing our customers with
a visual model of their design before it is built. This model
allows all levels of customer, from a corporate CEO to a line operator,
the ability to interact with the design and suggest changes or
improvements without requiring knowledge of three-view orthographic
projection or 2D drawing standards. Opening up the design to
employees other than engineers can result in creative changes to a
system while giving ownership to all who are involved.
After
the completion of each project, all details of every custom component
used in the design (including “As-Built” revisions, if applicable) are
provided to the customer on digital media (Compact Disks). In
addition to the detailed drawings, all models used in the design are
given to the customer with accompanying Bills of Materials (in
spreadsheet format) on digital media.
All
of our details conform to ASME Y14.5 standards for clear, easy to
understand drawings. Our Bills of Materials contain each
component used in a design, whether custom or commercial, and lists its
Part Number, Description, Material, and Manufacturer.
Certified
SolidWorks® Professionals (CSWP)
All
of our engineers, designers, and detailers are Certified SolidWorks
Professionals. The SolidWorks® website defines the
CSWP as
follows:
“A
Certified SolidWorks Professional is an individual that has
successfully passed our advanced skills examination. Each CSWP has
proven their ability to design and analyze parametric parts and
moveable assemblies using a variety of complex features in SolidWorks.”
You
will find several of our employees and their certifications listed on
the following website: Certified SolidWorks®
Professionals.
We are based in “Colorado” under the “CSWP” pull-down menu.
There are approximately
only 100 Certified SolidWorks Professionals in the state of Colorado.
Rates
and Other Services
We
have the flexibility of structuring our projects on an hourly or per
project basis, as needed. Although we can be more competitive
with our total project costs (because of our ability to schedule other
work throughout the defined project term) our typical hourly rates are
as follows:
Engineering: $120/hour
Design: $80/hour
Drafting/Detailing: $55/hour
