Engineering

Once a purchase order is issued, Bemco's Project Engineers work closely with your decision makers to assure that the systems we make match your requirements. All custom systems include at least a General Arrangement drawing for your approval prior to any system fabrication. We also advise you in advance of all utility requirements, floor space, and clearance needs, and any special provisions you must make to be ready for receiving the completed system.

Engineering documentation is prepared using Autodesk AutoCAD for 2D drawings, piping diagrams, and schematics. Documentation is normally provided in digital form in Adobe Acrobat format.

Due to the large number of computers that we have on line and the various software versions on some of them, we request that all information submitted for processing by our engineering department be in one of the following formats:

Software	Description
Adobe Acrobat .pdf	Save all documents for .PDF format.
Autodesk, AutoCAD .dwg	Save all drawings as AutoCAD 2000/2000LT
Microsoft Excel .xls	Save all documents for Excel 2000
Microsoft Powerpoint .ppt	Save all document for Powerpoint 2000
Microsoft Word .doc	Save all documents for Word 2000
SAT .sat	"Standard ACIS Text," a 3D file format, ASCII Format

Many of our systems are equipped with the latest software available. If the formats requested present a problem, we can usually internally translate your files for use by the appropriate Bemco party.

If you do not know your Bemco Engineer's direct Email address, submit all documents to bemco@bemcoinc.com or contact us by Fax, Telephone, or Mail.

Applications Engineering

Our Bemco team of expert applications engineers is ready to assist you. We review your requirements, prepare specifications, and provide firm quotations and budget information. All of these services are free.

Our job is to help you find the perfect match to your testing or process needs. We routinely provide 2D and 3D computer aided illustrations and drawings, technical specifications, theoretical analysis in a number of engineering disciplines, pricing comparisons, and operating cost data.

A word of caution when comparing our quotations to any other information you may have. As a company policy, Bemco chambers really simulate the environments expected. We take your specifications and requirements literally. Our equipment actually does what we promise and you specify. The word of caution is; be careful what you ask for. Make sure you really want and need it. With Bemco, we promise you will get it. We take our motto very seriously. We are truly focused on Excellence.

For your convenience, an Adobe Acrobat "Request Form" is available to easily submit all the Data we routinely need to get started. You can download it (127 Kb) by clicking here. A longer and more detailed request form is also available. It contains a check list to help you in specifying Temperature, Temperature/Humidity, Temperature/Humidity/Altitude, Walk-in, Drive-in, and large test facilities. You can download the longer form here.

Bemco's "Request Forms" are XML forms designed to take advantage of the features offered in Adobe Acrobat. These forms are interactive and require that you have Adobe Reader 6.0.2, Adobe Acrobat 6.0.2, or Adobe Professional 6.0.2, or later. You can obtain the Adobe 8 Reader for Windows XP for free by clicking on the link at left and following the instructions. You can also click on links at this address to obtain Adobe Reader for other platforms.

When custom products are involved, we work with you to arrive at the system description and specifications that balance first cost, cost of ownership, performance, design, effectiveness of test, ease of use, and reliability. Unusual space simulators, thermal vacuum systems, fluid chillers, gas circulating systems; special environments like rain, wind, sunshine, explosion, centrifuge, hyperbaric; and combined environments such as temperature/vibration, temperature/acoustic, and sand and dust, are specified on a case by case basis.

When submitting your information, it is always helpful for us to know as much as possible. If you have drawings, photographs, written specifications, or details of your project or process you would like us to look at, please attach them to your Email, Mail, or Fax. If you submit using one of our Forms, you can send us a separate document with the attachments.

You can Email, (applications@bemcoinc.com), mail, telephone (805-583-4970), or FAX (805-583-5033) us.
