Housings & Mechanisms
Concept development, CAD, housings, enclosures, mechanisms, materials, tolerances, and fabrication drawings.
Services
Mechanical engineering from product design through prototype assembly.
Payson Labs designs product housings, mechanisms, and motion systems, coordinates prototype fabrication, reviews designs, writes and executes prototype test plans, and completes limited rework and final assembly.
Motion & Mechatronics
Motor design and selection, servo and closed-loop motion control, drivetrain and actuation design, encoder and sensor integration, and robotic mechanisms.
Prototype Sourcing
In-house 3D printing plus coordination of independent manufacturing partners. Payson Labs sources the appropriate outside processes and suppliers to get the parts a prototype requires made.
Design Reviews
Focused reviews for manufacturability, functionality, materials, tolerances, assembly flow, supplier feedback, and design improvement.
Prototype Testing
Writing and executing agreed functional test plans for prototypes, recording observations and data, and reporting results.
Prototype Assembly & Rework
Final prototype assembly and limited bench rework such as simple drilling and tapping. Production machining is handled by outside contract manufacturers.
Motion & Mechatronics
Motors, servo control, sensors, and robotics.
Motors & Actuation
Motor and actuator sizing and selection across brushless, stepper, brushed DC, and gearmotor drives, together with the drivetrain, mounting, and thermal packaging built around them.
Servo & Motion Control
Closed-loop servo and motion-control work: axis architecture, encoder and feedback selection, drive configuration, tuning, and motion profiles that hold up on real hardware.
Sensors & Robotics
Sensor selection, mounting, and integration for position, limit, proximity, force, and temperature feedback, applied to robotic mechanisms and automated motion.
Project Types
Built for broad engineering problems.
New Product Design
Mechanical housings and mechanisms developed from requirements through fabrication-ready CAD and drawings.
Prototype Programs
Part sourcing, vendor coordination, in-house 3D printing, limited rework, and final assembly for client prototype projects.
Motion & Robotics
Motor-driven and servo-controlled mechanisms, sensor and feedback integration, and robotic motion developed alongside the mechanical hardware that carries it.
Design Reviews & Testing
Independent design review plus documented functional testing performed to an agreed prototype test plan.
Operating Scope
Design-led prototype support with outside manufacturing.
Payson Labs works from Murrieta, California, serving clients from San Diego to Riverside and remote clients nationwide. It can 3D-print parts in house and may perform limited bench rework and final assembly. Machined and otherwise fabricated parts are normally made by independent contract manufacturers that Payson Labs helps manage. Payson Labs does not operate a production machine shop, sell its own product line, or offer signed or sealed drawings. Testing does not include independent product certification or regulatory approval.
Recent Work
Parts from recent prototype and production programs.
