Centers of Excellence · Industrial & Mechanical Engineering

Engineering the physical systems that make products work.

ATRI engineers the mechanical, thermal and electromechanical systems behind real-world products and equipment—from product architecture, mechanisms and motion systems to thermal management, fluid control, industrial equipment and functional prototypes.

We combine mechanical engineering with electronics, embedded systems, power, sensing, controls, robotics and manufacturing to engineer the complete physical product.

What We Engineer
From product architecture to working physical systems.

Physical System Architecture
Engineering the physical system around the function.

A successful mechanical product begins with what the system must physically accomplish. ATRI develops the architecture around that function and engineers the interacting mechanical systems required to make it work.

Product & Mechanical Engineering
From physical concept to engineered product.

ATRI develops the mechanical architecture around the product’s functional requirements—determining how components are arranged, supported, connected, accessed and protected while accounting for the electrical, thermal and physical systems around them.

Mechanisms, Motion & Power Transmission
Engineering how products move and transfer force.

Many products depend on mechanical systems that translate, rotate, transmit force or position components accurately. ATRI engineers mechanisms and mechanical power-transmission systems around the functional requirements of the application.

Gears & Gear Trains

Gear systems • ratios • mechanical transmission • application integration

Rotating assemblies • support • alignment • mechanical interfaces

Actuation & Mechanisms

Linkages • moving mechanisms • mechanical actuation • controlled movement

ATRI has demonstrated gear-design experience in intelligent manufacturing tools and mechanical drivetrain work associated with industrial equipment.

Robotics work provides demonstrated experience with custom grippers and end effectors.

Thermal Engineering
Engineering where the heat goes.

Thermal behavior is often fundamental to whether a product works reliably. ATRI engineers thermal systems both for products whose primary function is generating or controlling heat and for products where heat must be managed as a consequence of electronics, power conversion or operation.

Commercial Thermal Equipment Platforms
ATRI’s mechanical team designs and builds functional prototypes across a family of commercial thermal products, integrating mechanical architecture, heating systems, mechanisms, materials, electrical components and physical product interfaces. The work demonstrates repeatable product-development capability across different product configurations rather than a single mechanical design.
Intelligent Manufacturing Tool
ATRI’s engineering work on an intelligent industrial tool brings together mechanical architecture, gear and drivetrain design, reaction-force considerations, ergonomics, embedded electronics, sensing and control within a compact physical product.
Controlled Environmental Test Equipment
ATRI has engineered environmental chamber systems for controlled temperature and humidity environments used in reliability and accelerated product testing. The work combines enclosure design, thermal/environmental management, sensing, control and complete physical-system integration.
Supporting Experience

ATRI’s Industrial & Mechanical Engineering capability has also been applied across induction systems, robotic grippers and end effectors, conveyor systems, fluid-control products, embedded devices, power equipment and other electromechanical products.

The common thread is not a particular industry or product type. It is the ability to engineer the physical system around what the product must actually do.
