Engineering Excellence
Dawn VME Products is much more than a basic "chassis and backplane"
manufacturer. Dawn's engineering talents and experience are
extensive, and cover the full range of military, commercial and
telecomm technologies. Whether you have a solidified idea in mind or
just a rough idea of your requirements, working with Dawn's engineers
and program managers will help insure the timely and successful
completion of your project.
The involvement of Dawn's engineering department starts in the quoting
process. Prior to quoting any custom product, the Dawn team reviews
critical areas, long lead-time parts, testing requirements and
available manpower. Once a custom product order is received, Dawn's
Project Managers coordinate all efforts and relay required
documentation and reviews to our customer. No manufacturing commences
without customer approval of the design.
Mechanical Design
Dawn continues to design a huge variety of Commercial, Military
(rugged), ATR and telecomm enclosure solutions. Our experienced
mechanical engineers, working with the latest 3-D design tools, can
quickly produce a 3-D concept model to forward to our customer for
review.
This allows Dawn customers to actually manipulate the model on their
computer screen and impart any suggested changes or upgrades.
Individual parts can be highlighted or removed for a better view.
This gives our customers the ability to view the product before it is
built.
PCB Design
For over two decades, Dawn has been designing and manufacturing
backplanes. This vast experience, along with the use of the latest
layout tools insures accuracy and signal integrity in backplane
design. Many of Dawn's standard backplane offerings can be altered or
customized to meet customer requirements. Additionally, Dawn can take
your source files, convert them to our design tool, and create the
required documentation to build your product.
Custom Designs
Dawn's unique ability to react to custom opportunities in a timely
manner has created a comprehensive design library of enclosures and
backplanes. To date, Dawn has created over one thousand different
custom backplane designs. Our engineering design teams work
hand-in-hand with your engineers to create the best suited solution
for your application. No matter what you have in mind, it is very
likely that Dawn's engineers have designed something similar in the
past and can leverage that experience and IP to help you.
Power and Cooling
Today's embedded systems consume more power and generate more heat
than ever before. Dawn's engineers have a profound understanding of
the issues involved with cooling. Through experience, calculation and
the use of sophisticated tools such as FlowWorksTM, Dawn can confirm
that our cooling solution is adequate before the design is completed.
Whether your design is based on air, conduction, liquid or spray
cooled, Dawn can provide the best solution for your power and cooling
requirements.
Monitoring, Control and Data Collection
If your design requires system control or monitoring, Dawn's solutions
are at the forefront of technology. So good, in fact, that many of
Dawn's competitors are its customers. Dawn's
RuSHTM system health monitor is well known as
the most reliable, cost-effective and capable solution on the market.
All the members of the RuSHTM family provide
the ability not only to monitor fans, voltages, currents, humidity,
shock & vibration, and pressures - but also to control power supplies,
fan speeds, heaters, pumps or virtually anything else.
The RuSHTM is an Internet enabled device
allowing you to monitor and direct its activities a world away. Bus
independent, the RuSHTM is suitable for a
multitude of standard and custom applications. Since its inception,
Dawn has created over 100 special "builds" of (field upgradable)
firmware. This small, versatile and military-rugged product, is
another example of the quality designs available from Dawn VME
Products.
