Custom Prototyping

The Espey Hardware Prototyping and R&D Lab is in direct support of all the engineering disciplines. The prototyping group has a broad range of technical expertise to call upon in pursuit of this goal.

The lab was originally chartered to support High Voltage potting and encapsulation in solid epoxy, dielectric gas, gels and liquids. The prototyping facility has grown to become a versatile electronics model shop. Some of the capabilities include circuit layout, rapid PCB fabrication, circuit assembly and test, automated PCB testing, solder reflow characterization, component and circuit failure analysis, new materials evaluation and qualification, chemical engineering, master machine shop, and surface mount lab with MCM assembly.

The prototyping lab operates autonomously to the production line, while supporting as required. It has rapid response capability to real time challenges enabling Espey to leverage seamlessly into new products and processes.
