Engineers who finish the job on the floor
Tri-X Technology exists because industrial work keeps getting split three ways. A design house draws it, a shop cuts it, an integrator wires it, and the schedule dies in the gaps between them. We hold all three under one roof.
What we do
Mechanical, controls and software, in the same room
Our engineers design machines and the parts inside them, our machinists cut those parts, and our controls and software people make them run. Because the drawing office sits next to the shop, a feature that is expensive to machine gets caught while it is still cheap to change.
We work for plants, OEMs and contract manufacturers, usually at the point where something has to be fixed, replaced or made to go faster.
| Disciplines in house | Mechanical, electrical, controls, software |
|---|---|
| Machining tolerance | ±0.01 mm typical |
| Quote turnaround | 1–2 business days |
| Site work | Planned shutdowns, nights, weekends |
| Documentation | Models, drawings, code handed over |
How we work
Five steps, in this order, every time
No stage starts before the previous one is signed off. It is slower to promise and faster to finish.
-
Understand the problem at the machine
A call, then a site visit or a video walk-around. We want to see the failure, the product and the space around it before proposing anything.
-
Quote against a defined scope
A written scope with what is included, what is assumed and what is excluded, priced with a lead time. If something is uncertain, it is named as uncertain rather than buried.
-
Design and review before cutting
Models, drawings and schematics come to you for review. Changes at this stage cost an email; the same change after machining costs a part.
-
Make, measure and stage
Parts are machined and inspected, assemblies are built and dry-run in our shop so the shutdown window is used for fitting, not for finding out.
-
Install, prove the rate, hand over
We commission, run the machine at rate with your operators, train the maintenance team and hand over drawings, code and inspection records.
Quality and safety
Measured, recorded, and safe to stand next to
Inspection is part of the job rather than a certificate bought afterwards. Site work follows your plant's permits and isolation rules, not ours.
Inspection
- First article inspection on every new part
- In-process checks against the drawing
- CMM reports supplied on request
- Material certificates traced to the batch
Design assurance
- Independent review before release
- Calculations documented with assumptions
- Revision control on every drawing and program
- Change log kept through commissioning
On site
- Method statement and risk assessment before arrival
- Lock-out and tag-out to your plant procedure
- Guarding and interlocks proven before sign-off
- Housekeeping and hand-back at the end of each shift
Working with us
Straight answers, including the unwelcome ones
If a repair is smarter than a redesign, we will say so and quote the smaller job. If a machine is at the end of its life, we would rather tell you before you spend money keeping it upright.
That habit costs us work occasionally. It is also why the same maintenance managers keep calling.
What we ask of clients
- Access to the machine, or good photos and video
- A named person who can approve a drawing
- The real production constraint, including the deadline behind the deadline
- Existing drawings, manuals and program backups, however old
Start with a conversation.
A short call is usually enough to tell whether we are the right shop for the job. If we are not, we will point you at someone who is.
