Precision Motion for Critical Infrastructure
Reliable Performance for Demanding Environments
As compute density increases, service access becomes increasingly important. Servers, storage systems, and infrastructure equipment require motion components that provide dependable support while preserving valuable chassis and rack space.
KV works with equipment manufacturers to develop slide systems around load, travel, envelope, installation, cable-management, and serviceability requirements, helping engineers provide reliable access without compromising equipment design.
ENGINEERED FOR THE APPLICATION
Designed for Dependability
Preserve rack and chassis space while providing dependable access to critical equipment.
Space Efficiency
Low-profile slide solutions help preserve valuable chassis volume.
Load Support
Platforms can be evaluated around equipment weight and operating requirements.
Rack Integration
Mounting and attachment requirements can be incorporated into the solution.
Cable Management
Motion and cable-management requirements can be considered together.
Repeatable Performance
Reliable movement supports equipment that may be serviced repeatedly throughout its lifecycle.
FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION
Engineering Support Throughout the Product Lifecycle
Custom OEM projects rarely begin with an off-the-shelf answer. KV engineers work alongside product-development teams from application review and concept development through prototyping, testing, production, and lifecycle support. Existing platforms can be adapted when they fit the requirement, and application-specific solutions can be developed when they do not.
Concept Development
We begin by reviewing the application, performance goals, space constraints, and use requirements to define the right path forward.
Application Engineering
Our team evaluates load, travel, motion requirements, mounting, materials, and other design criteria to align the solution to the application.
Prototyping & Testing
Concepts can be refined through prototyping and testing to confirm function, fit, durability, and overall performance before production.
Production Support
Once the solution is finalized, KV supports the transition into production with an emphasis on manufacturability, consistency, and supply continuity.
Lifecycle Support
We continue supporting the program throughout its lifecycle, helping address future refinements, ongoing supply needs, and long-term performance.
