The LEESON Design Center has changed the rules regarding electric motor application and custom motor design. In fact, through the power of a mutual design team, you'll find that there are few restraints on your efforts to create an optimum motor solution.

The concept. We knew there had to be a better way. One that allows your intimate knowledge of the application to be combined "real-time" with our mechanical and electrical design skills. The result is the Motor Design Center, located at our corporate headquarters in Grafton, Wisconsin.

A synectic design environment. Here we created a unique environment, specially designed to foster "synectic creativity," wherein experienced specialists exchange ideas and technical knowledge freely, leading to mutual solutions. The key to making it work is interactivity and teamwork, all around the table. The selection of your own team members is critical for best results. Decision-makers from all disciplines should be represented, including design engineering, manufacturing, quality, materials, and others.

The Motor Design Center is the ultimate solution forum. LEESON's full corporate resources and the latest design technology are at-hand to speed the way to the optimum, most effective motor solution. Using online, computer-aided design technology, visual displays, databases of electrical performance and mechanical characteristics, as well as hands-on activities with actual motor components, our two teams will work to literally "build" the custom motor you need - all in a matter of hours. And a few days later, the functional prototype will be in your hands for testing, evaluation and final approval.

SMART TEAM™

Special Motor Action Response Team. When it isn't practical for your team to visit the Motor Design Center, we can bring our customer motor design capabilities to you via the LEESON SMART TEAM™. While the make-up of the SMART TEAM™ varies from project-to-project (based upon your needs), it normally includes experienced LEESON personnel from design engineering, process engineering, quality and sales. Their mission is to collaborate with their counterparts in your company in defining – and delivering – the best motor solution for your application.

LEESON'S Delivery in Time™ Program. After the right motor is developed for your application, LEESON's Delivery In Time™ program is the tool used to ensure that we will have the right quantity of motors on your dock on the right day. We can produce custom motors to match your production schedule in quantities fewer than 100 or up to thousands of units per shipment.

Strategic Motor Sourcing Alliance (SMSA™) Program. This "clean sheet of paper" program is intended for customers whose needs are outside the scope of DIT. Under SMSA™, we work side-by-side with you, creating the bundle of products and services that best meets your needs - needs that often extend well beyond priority production slots and reduced lead times.

As just one example of the power of SMSA, we consistently deliver highly custom motors within 13 working days after our customers' final approval of electrical and mechanical parameters.
