One connected team
Different specialists.
One product question.
NATE's R&D team brings product planning, mechanical and electronic engineering, validation and packaging into the same development conversation.
Structure & motion
Frame architecture, columns and welding tooling are considered as parts of one moving system.
Architectural engineering · Welding process engineeringElectronics & control
Motor, control and handset development are informed by system data and operating behaviour.
Electronic engineering · System engineeringVerification & handover
Tests, quality reviews, packaging design and field feedback stay connected to development.

Measured verification
Test the motion, not just the drawing.
Our testing program covers motion, stability, durability and handling. Specific tests and acceptance criteria are confirmed for each product and project.
Motion
Stroke, speed, load and self-locking capacity
Stability
Shaking, edge load and horizontal / vertical static tests
Durability
Horizontal, vertical and lifting life tests
Handling
Impact, drop and static pressure tests
