A practical starting point

You can start with the problem, not a finished specification.

  • A throughput target of 1,500 units per minute
  • An assembly process that is not reliable enough
  • A component that cannot yet be fed consistently
  • An old machine that must be replaced while retaining useful equipment

About Lusomek

Engineering built around solving real industrial problems.

Industrial engineering problems rarely arrive as complete specifications.

They begin as a production issue, a performance target, a process that needs automation, an existing machine that needs improvement, or an idea that still needs to become tangible.

Lusomek combines more than a decade of hands-on machine development experience with practical knowledge of manufacturing, automation, machine architecture and industrial suppliers.

Our role is not simply to draw components. We understand the problem, define the right architecture, identify critical risks and develop a solution that works as a complete system.

Capabilities

From an unclear requirement to a coherent industrial solution.

Support can begin with one critical mechanism or extend across a complete machine-development project.

01 / ARCHITECTURE

Machine & System Architecture

Definition of machine concepts, functional breakdowns, layouts, mechanisms, interfaces and the architecture that makes the complete system work together.

  • Functional decomposition
  • Machine and station layouts
  • Cycle-time architecture
  • Technology selection and risk identification
02 / ENGINEERING

Mechanical Design & Engineering

Detailed design of machines, mechanisms, tooling, fixtures and production equipment that can be manufactured, maintained and used reliably.

  • Precision and servo-driven mechanisms
  • Frames, tooling and fixtures
  • Pneumatics and robotic interfaces
  • Guarding and production equipment
03 / AUTOMATION

Automation Concepts

Practical concepts that combine the right motion, sensing, handling and process technologies into one coherent machine or production solution.

  • High-speed handling and feeding
  • Assembly, inspection and reject handling
  • Robotics, servo systems and vision
  • Labelling, dispensing and logistics
04 / FEASIBILITY

Feasibility & Concept Development

Early-stage engineering to determine what can realistically achieve the required throughput, process performance and production constraints.

  • Concept comparison
  • Cycle-time and handling studies
  • Supplier and technology evaluation
  • Critical risk definition
05 / VALIDATION

Proof of Principle & Validation

Targeted experiments, prototypes and validation setups that answer critical engineering questions before they become expensive machine problems.

  • Mechanism and motion testing
  • Force and displacement measurement
  • Feeding and product handling trials

06 / DELIVERY

Industrialisation & Supplier Integration

Engineering support from selected concept through supplier alignment, implementation, commissioning and further machine optimisation.

  • Component and supplier selection
  • Machine-builder coordination
  • Design and prototype reviews
  • Build, commissioning and troubleshooting support

More than CAD

Good machine development requires more than designing parts.

It requires understanding the process, production environment, automation technologies, component suppliers, machine builders and the constraints of the customer's industry.

Lusomek operates at the intersection of these disciplines. We connect the right technologies, suppliers and engineering decisions into one coherent solution.

  7. 07Industrial solution
System-level thinking

The interfaces matter as much as the components.

Product flow, cycle time, utilities, controls, service access, safety and supplier boundaries are considered as part of one machine architecture.

Validate the risk

Prove critical assumptions before detailed design.

Calculations, prototypes, measurements and supplier trials are used where they reduce uncertainty and support better investment decisions.

Sustainable engineering

Engineering with efficiency and equipment lifetime in mind.

Better engineering should also mean more efficient engineering. Whenever technically and economically viable, Lusomek favours solutions that reduce resource consumption and increase the useful life of industrial equipment.

Efficiency and resource use are considered during engineering decisions, not added as a marketing feature after the design is finished.

The objective is practical: support more efficient manufacturing and customers' long-term net-zero goals without compromising process performance or reliability.

DESIGN REVIEW Resource efficiency criteria
  • 01Reduce energy and compressed-air consumption
  • 02Minimise unnecessary motion and machine complexity
  • 03Reduce scrap, process variation and production waste
  • 04Use materials responsibly and right-size components
  • 05Design for maintainability and upgradeability
  • 06Reuse or retrofit existing equipment where practical
  • 07Improve reliability and extend equipment lifetime

Industries

Engineering for demanding production environments.

Machine performance is developed around the process, quality and production constraints of the industry in which it must operate.

Regulated manufacturing

Medical Devices & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

High-speed production equipment, precision handling, inspection, assembly, labelling and process automation developed around repeatability and stable production.

  • Process control
  • Validation

  • Repeatability

Specialised applications

Advanced Technology & Industrial Automation

Engineering support for specialised machinery, research equipment, automation systems and custom industrial applications where standard equipment is not the complete answer.

  • Custom automation
  • Precision systems
  • Experimental setups
  • Process development

Industrial know-how

Understanding the complete machine ecosystem.

Lusomek works across mechanical design, automation technologies and industrial equipment. We do not manufacture every technology; we understand how to architect systems, identify the right specialists and integrate their work effectively.

Connecting engineering, technology and industry

Choosing the right technology and supplier early can prevent major limitations later. Supplier knowledge is therefore part of concept development, not an afterthought.

  • High-speed product handling
  • Feeding & orientation
  • Precision mechanisms
  • Pneumatic systems
  • Servo motion
  • Robotics
  • Machine vision
  • Force measurement
  • Displacement measurement
  • Assembly processes
  • Dispensing & gluing
  • Labelling
  • Inspection systems
  • Tooling & fixtures
  • Process development
  • Machine safety considerations
  • Component selection
  • Supplier selection
  • Prototype equipment
  • Validation systems

Selected engineering challenges

The work is best explained through the problem being solved.

Much of our work supports confidential industrial development programmes. These examples focus on engineering challenges and capabilities rather than customer-specific machine details.

How we work

Reduce uncertainty before it becomes expensive steel.

A clear engineering process keeps decisions visible, validates critical assumptions and allows Lusomek to support the stage where help is most useful.

  2. 02

    Define

    Convert the problem into clear requirements covering throughput, forces, tolerances, interfaces, utilities, maintenance and resource use.

  3. 03

    Explore

    Generate and compare concepts, technologies and suppliers rather than committing detailed design effort to the first idea.
