Designing For Your Applications
Each application poses a unique challenge. Most often, we are looking at how to apply our ‘Reaction Stand’ principles to each situation. Whether we are creating reaction tooling for wind turbines, helicopter rotors or airplane engines, we need to insure that an operator can safely apply torque without damaging critical items on the aircraft or structure.
Each application is unique. This is where we bring in the expertise of our design engineering staff.

Design and Engineering
Analyze, Trouble Shoot, Refine & Design
Design & Engineering With complete internal Design & Engineering capabilities ATP can develop tooling to meet the specific needs of your application. Our design staff is heavily focused in development for the aerospace industry and has complete knowledge of all torque related factors that would impact your project. Our consultative services range from application analysis and trouble shooting to torquing processes and custom design.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Validate Tooling Strength and Capacity
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is essential in every design we produce. It grants us the ability to simulate how a product will react to external loads and allows us to calculate component displacements, strains, and stresses under assumed conditions. This critical information can be used to validate and optimize design criteria before moving to the production stage. ATP embraces this methodology in its design process in an effort to reduce the need for costly prototypes, mitigate rework, and reduce overall time in development.
3D Modeling and Prototypes
100% Scale Test Fit Model
As part of ATP’s Design & Engineering Process, we also have internal 3D printing capabilities to produce scale models prior to production. Depending on the nature and need of your design, we will print 3D models for application to be sent to your facility to confirm fit and proof-of-concept prior to the production of your prototype.
Manufacturing
Manufactured Full Capability Prototype
ATP will manufacture a completed prototype, which will represent the actual finished product. As part of the prototype process, along with the custom elements manufactured for you, ATP supplies a Digital Torque Multiplier and all stock elements as a loaner to perform testing.
Designing For Your Application
Designing Your AeroTorque Tooling
We make the design process easy. We minimize your effort in the tooling design process. When it comes to adapting one of our AeroTorque multipliers to your application, we collect the following information from you. After that, we own the complete development process until you are 100% satisfied with the final product.
