Where High-Stakes Challenges Become Real-World Solutions
See how engineering teams turned complex, ambitious ideas into successful builds with APE’s support. These case studies show what’s possible when bold concepts meet the right partner.
Custom Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling for Engine Block Handling and Assembly
A world-leading diesel engine manufacturer developed a new engine block casting for the latest generation of their engines.
Nuclear Reactor Fuel Cell Prototype
How a growing nuclear energy company partnered with APE to turn a complex fuel-cell concept into a precise, test-ready prototype.
Tube Chassis Build Profile
A rapidly growing electric vehicle startup was preparing to unveil a new platform at a major industry event.
Fusion Reactor Vessel
The vessel would operate below one atmosphere (8.1 psi) and was technically non-code—but the weld quality needed to be at the level of a nuclear system.
Bag Filler
When the world's biggest electric car manufacturer encounters a problem, they don’t have the luxury of time. They need solutions immediately and can’t afford to wait for a slow design and build partner.
Centrifuge Assistant
When a global automation and robotics company embarked on developing a new medical cobot system, they sought a trusted mechanical design and build partner.
ABB UTMB Robot
During the hectic year following the COVID-19 outbreak, the medical industry was urgently seeking answers to numerous questions, including how to accelerate research tests to obtain life-saving results sooner.
Portable Jib Crane (PJC)
The story of our Portable Jib Crane begins with an industrial manufacturing company facing a challenge: they needed to lift a 150-pound component repeatedly throughout their manufacturing process.
Tilt EPU Cart
At APE, a common problem we address is holding something precisely where it needs to be or moving it from one position to another. This project required a combination of both functionalities within a single package.
Universal Lifting System (ULS)
The client needed a solution for the complex installation of wings and main batteries on their newly designed aircraft. The system had to be user-friendly, capable of 7-axis finely controlled motion, easily movable, and safe for lifting several hundred pounds high up in the air.
Avionics Assembly Platform for Aircraft Manufacturing
The client required a system to enable the assembly and movement of the avionics panel through various stages of its manufacturing line. They provided the "what" but relied on APE to determine the "how."
Weld Fixture Development
In the fast-paced world of new product development, resources and time are often limited. To overcome these challenges, companies can turn to APE for expert assistance to accelerate their development processes.
