Contract Engineering Capabilities

pedistal TRICOR's engineering provides outstanding capability not found in many small companies. From the design of simple fixtures to complete systems, the attention given to performance, reliability and quality does not vary.

Each engineer is proficient in both hardware and software design. This capability increases efficiency and reduces cost as the engineer who writes the operating software is intimate with the hardware he/she is trying to control.

Electrical Engineering tools/aids: The latest state of the art schematic capture and pcb layout tools form Mentor Graphics are used on all electrical design activities.

Mechanical Engineering tools/aids: To develop the highest quality mechanical items, TRICOR utilizes both Autocad and the advanced 3-D solid modeling tools offered by Solidworks®.

As products become more sophisticated , medical device performance is highly dependent on reliable, verifiable and maintainable software. TRICOR has a history of providing embedded and PC based architectures for numerous product requirements. By utilizing current development tools, coupled to a controlled design structure, the customer is ensured product and regulatory specifications are satisfied.

In addition to having the latest design tools, TRICOR possess the staff and expertise to design and develop electronic systems that meet all domestic and international safety requirements (IEC 60601 or UL 2601 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 60601).
