Raser has expanded its Technology Development Center in Orem, Utah. The new high-tech lab facility provides an operating environment for Raser engineers to accelerate the delivery of its technology to its customers.

Raser’s new Technology Development Center in Orem, Utah

The Tech Center houses three lab areas that employ equipment critical to the process of developing and testing prototypes and products for our customers and manufacturing partners.


State-of-the-art four quadrant dynamometer test stand capable of handling electric motors up to 125 hp.


LabVIEW data collection stations for characterizing and optimizing Symetron™ motor performance.

“The speed at which we can deliver working prototypes of Symetron™-enhanced designs to our customers is no longer limited by the capability and availability of outside testing labs, not to mention the expense and travel time required,” said Dr. Sergei Kolomeitsev, Raser’s Director of Motor Development. “Having this advanced Technology Development Center allows us thorough and accurate testing prior to validation at independent testing labs and at customer facilities.”

 
Liquid cooling systems required by automotive customers to simulate engine cooling.


Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools that allow rapid motor design and performance predictions, and an electronics lab for the design, development and prototyping of Symetron™ controllers.

 
The first Symetron™ drive system tested at the new Technology Development Center was an integrated starter alternator (ISA) prior to its delivery and testing with a major automaker.

“We are in the business of developing and licensing innovation,” said Brent M. Cook, Raser’s Chief Executive Officer. “This new facility helps us move our proprietary technology into our customers’ hands faster and with less expense. As we continue to attract the best talent in the areas of automotive, industrial and power generation, we will provide them the finest development and testing tools available.”
