You have a part. We build the solution that makes it.

ENQUIPA is a contract engineering and automation practice in Upstate South Carolina. We design, build, install and support custom production machines, poka-yoke fixtures, test stands, gages and robotic cells.

What we do

FIVE SERVICE LINES
01

Mechanical design and engineering

Complete mechanical design from requirement to released drawings — modeled in SolidWorks, dimensioned to GD&T, checked for tolerance stack-up and designed to be made, not just drawn. Custom machine framing in aluminum extrusion, steel tubing and weldments, fabricated through established machining and fabrication partners.

Machine design and engineering
  • SolidWorks 3D machine and component design
  • GD&T, tolerance stack-up, DFM and DFA review
  • Custom machine framing: aluminum extrusion, steel tubing, weldments
  • Sheet metal, guarding, enclosures and machine bases
  • Released drawing packages a shop can quote from
02

Custom equipment, test stands, poka-yoke fixtures and tooling

Purpose-built equipment for one part and one process. Assembly and verification stations that make a missed step impossible, leak and functional test stands, presses and crimping machines, adhesive dispensing cells, gages, inspection fixtures and material handling — designed, built, installed and run off on your floor.

Custom equipment and fixtures
  • Poka-yoke assembly and verification stations
  • Leak, pressure and functional test stands
  • Presses, crimping and swaging machines
  • Go/no-go gages, CMM and vision fixtures
  • Material handling: work carts, conveyors, transfer and lift assists
  • Machine rebuild and safety retrofit
03

Robotics automation — design, integration, programming and service

Robotic cells from feasibility through commissioning, including the parts most integrators subcontract: reach and cycle-time studies, custom end-of-arm tooling, offline programming, safety integration and operator training. Robotic surface finishing — grinding, sanding, polishing and deburring — plus robotic 3D scanning, laser welding and laser ablation.

Robotics and integration
  • ABB, FANUC, KUKA and Universal Robots
  • Robotic grinding, sanding, polishing and deburring
  • Robotic 3D scanning, laser welding and laser ablation
  • Cell layout, reach and cycle-time simulation
  • Offline programming, field teaching, commissioning
  • Custom EOAT design and build
  • Light curtains, guarding, PLC and HMI integration
04

Reverse engineering, 3D scanning, 3D printing and prototyping

When a part is obsolete, undocumented or worn out, the physical part becomes the drawing. Scanned or measured directly, modeled parametrically, dimensioned to a manufacturable drawing and verified against the original before anything is cut.

Reverse engineering and scanning
  • 3D scanning and mesh-to-CAD parametric modeling
  • Legacy tooling, dies, fixtures and discontinued components
  • Injection mold cavity and core design
  • In-house 3D printing for form-and-fit prototypes
  • CNC machining and industrial additive through partners
05

Project engineering, startup consulting, DFM and NPI

Engineering capacity without a hire. For established manufacturers that means owning a project end to end; for early-stage ventures it means turning a concept into something that can actually be produced at volume.

Project engineering and NPI
  • Project engineering and vendor management
  • Design for manufacturability review
  • Functional prototyping and component sourcing
  • Production roadmaps and scale-up planning
