Beck Engineering, Inc. has been performing cutting-edge contract R&D for government and corporate clients since 1996. 1. Our Expertise is Extremely Broad. We have expertise in a broad range of technologies, from machine tools, to control systems, to power-generation and refrigeration systems, to cryogenic equipment and other thermo-fluidic devices.
In addition, we have the required expertise to secure funding and manage resulting contracts to develop technologies. We have been highly successful in the U.S. Government Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program: we have performed twenty SBIR contracts (sixteen Phase I SBIR contracts and four Phase II SBIR contracts).

Under a Phase II SBIR contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), we developed a Compact High-Speed (30,000 RPM) High-Power (2 hp) Right-Angle Milling Head (HSHP/RAMH) for machining complex geometries in aircraft structures. Our HSHP/RAMH uses hydrostatic bearings, direct fluid-turbine drive, and our proprietary toolholder system.
The Air Force needs a flexible robotic drilling system for drilling and countersinking holes in JSF inlet ducts. Under a Phase I SBIR contract with the Air Force, we designed, built, and demonstrated a compact Vacuum Nose-Lock/Drill End-Effector (VNL/DEE), which is a critical component of a flexible robotic drilling system.
Under a Phase I SBIR contract with the Navy, we designed, built, and demonstrated critical components (the drill heads) of two types of compact powerfeed drill: (1) Nose-Lock Drill; and (2) Tool-Less Drill. The two types of drill each have shafts that are driven by fluid turbines and supported by hydrostatic (water) bearings.
NASA has many needs for maintenance and repair technologies for long-duration human space missions. Under a Phase II SBIR contract for NASA, we are developed a compact, portable, vacuum-compatible, multi-axis Manipulator/Machining Center (M/MC) to satisfy many of NASA's needs (see Figures 1 and 2 above).
CNC Automatic Bore Hone (ABH) for the Air Force The Air Force needs an automated system for honing various shapes of taper in smooth-bore tubes. Under a Phase I SBIR contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), we demonstrated critical components of a Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) Automatic Bore Hone (ABH, see Figure 1 above) to meet Air Force needs.
