EMKO PROJECT combines in-house mechanical and electrical design, production engineering and facilities in Ledeč nad Sázavou and Pardubice – Semtín. We use Siemens Solid Edge for mechanical 3D design, TPV2000 for production preparation and additional specialist software for the relevant discipline. Design and documentation feed directly into fabrication, assembly, installation and inspection. Facilities also include in-house wet painting and powder coating, abrasive blasting including wet blasting, and a laser centre for cutting, marking, cleaning and welding.
Mechanical design, electrical engineering and production under one technical lead.
Our design team develops the brief into models, drawings and information for production, procurement and installation. Mechanical and electrical design are coordinated across connection dimensions, instrument locations, power, signals and maintenance access.
