Custom Products
Overview
Gowanda excels in the design and manufacture of custom inductors, broadband, transformers, chokes, specialty products and related magnetic devices. We have been manufacturing and designing custom magnetics for more than 50 years. Our manufacturing and engineering capabilities in this specialized field have earned us well-deserved respect from our customers and admiration by others in the industry.
Whether you need a few pieces or thousands, Gowanda can produce your custom coil, inductor, choke or other magnetic devices to the highest levels of quality specifications and industry standards. Using state-of-the-art equipment, manufacturing techniques and testing equipment assures that we will always be on the cutting edge of wound-product technology.
Our engineering staff will work closely with your design team on new application requirements - from concept to final testing - ensuring that you obtain the custom solution that meets your exact requirement. We offer timely prototype development and delivery, to help your design process run smoothly and efficiently.
We pride ourselves on our speed-of-response. Our design team can generate a design solution that meets your specifications in a minimal amount of time. Almost immediately, Gowanda will quote and build prototypes to validate the design solution. If needed, we can benchmark existing components and provide technical solutions to address issues early in the design phase.
Gowanda's prototype development utilizes the same equipment and personnel as that used for production quantities, to assure that prototypes are truly representative of production scale. This assures that quality and reproducibility are seamless, as the switch is made from development prototypes to production quantities.
Our in house Environmental Test Lab offers our customers a full range of reliability testing with full documentation.
