Bellows Mfg.

Utilizing the latest design software and analysis applications, as well as in-house developed
Software, Bellows Manufacturing and Research, Inc., can design and manufacture specialized custom units as per your specifications.
Our highly experience engineering department has extensive experience in metal bellows and metal joining. For bellows design, there is an internally developed, life cycle prediction program which uses stress analysis algorithms combined with empirical test data to predict bellows life. This tool takes into account material type and thickness, operating conditions, temperatures and duty cycles which all allow for an accurate calculated life expectancy.
Several other tools are employed to support the engineering design function including 3D solid modeling and stress analyses. 3D solid modeling provides realistic images of the final assembly during design. This capability assists in determining the final interface configurations. These solid models are provided to customers to ensure proper fit within the assembly.

Bellows Manufacturing & Research Inc., Custom designs and complete solutions for your complex component and fabrication requirements.

Reverse Engineering & Development

Reverse engineering programs are undertaken as a team effort in which the metallurgical laboratory participates as one of the team members.
CAD - Computer Aided Design
BMR, Inc. has the capability (skills and equipment) to measure parts and/or assemblies and then reconstruct them as a 3-D model and into 2-D drawings for fabrication.


Tooling
We design and build our tools for what is needed with the flexibility to change quickly if the situation is called for. Our in-house engineering department works with our customers to review all electronic files that we receive. We review all dimensions and part geometry to insure the manufacturability of the part. In addition we utilize CAD/CAM to generate 3D printouts for visual review of how the part is formed. The final review takes place with our in-house tool makers to develop the most cost efficient methods for manufacturing your part.
We are expert at matching the right tools for the right tooling application. That's because our engineering skills apply directly to our tool and die making capabilities. At BMR you'll discover a level of craftsmanship you are unlikely to find anywhere else. That's because we have a high level of employee retention, experts who grew up in our company and have become masters of the art form. Plus our experience has taught us that an efficient operation all around helps improve the quality of the craft itself
Part Profile Scanning
At Bellows Manufacturing & Research Inc. we can scan your products critical profiles using the latest measurement technology. Point clouds can be generated, imported and evaluated into a CAD model for further development.
We can confirm compliance with your tolerances and display the results with color coded printouts including: nominal part shape, tolerance bands, actual shape and deviations.
We can accommodate your CAD files to define nominal part shape.
Data Package Development
With over 50 years of experience in engineering, design and fabrication. BMR can reverse engineer your prototype and develop a complete data package with materials and specifications that is ready for first article production or suitable for immediate procurement.
Materials, Processes, Joining Methods, Surface Finishes and Treatments
We analyze every metallurgical characteristic to determine alloy selection, manufacturing processes such as forging, casting and thermo-mechanical sequences, joining methods, surface finishes such as plating and coating, and surface treatments such as shot peening.
We also specify the governing specifications and participate in developing technical data packages and vendor qualification.
Specification Substitution
BMR can evaluate your (current or) outdated material, testing and product specifications to determine if they are compatible with current materials, manufacturing processes and specifications.
Our experienced staff of engineer and metallurgists will evaluate your requirements and recommend alternative processes and specifications or develop new ones to meet your needs.
