Engineering services

Flexibility and multidisciplinary competences are our main assets in the custom-build of automated machines as well as in the development of new prototypes of (consumer) products.

The mechatronic approach is the core competence of Optidrive: all components (mechanical, electrical, control system design) are chosen concurrently in order to optimise the overall system performance. This requires a thorough knowledge of the various domains and a lot of practical experience. Although our engineers have very good knowledge of the latest technological developments, we always look for the simplest solution which can do the job.
