Engineered Solutions - Certified Power Solutions

Engineered Solutions

High-quality engineering requires technical expertise, creative problem-solving skills, and disciplined project management — Certified Power Solutions excels in all of these areas.

We offer a wide range of engineering capabilities and services,  from designing small custom manifolds, standalone PLUS+1 control systems, and open-loop hydraulic circuits, to developing complex, fully integrated electro-hydraulic control systems. We represent product lines from the industry's top-tier manufacturers and we're able to design, integrate, assemble, and test high-performance solutions for you at the lowest overall cost.

manifold
QuickDesign by Sun Hydraulics

We use QuickDesign software from Sun Hydraulics to design custom manifolds. Using this tool, CPS engineers can design a custom manifold in less than an hour and provide you a completed BOM and quotation within hours.

Control Panel
Custom Panels using Danfoss PLUS +1 software

Our software engineering department can program these Danfoss 700 panels to display a wide variety of data from instrumentation on your machines. We use the PLUS+1 software to model your panel's design, which helps you visualize an almost unlimited number of options for your application.

Manifold Assembly
Custom Manifold Assembly

Using a custom manifold assembly cell, our technicians quickly assemble cartridges into a manifold. The technicians use a computer-controlled servo torque wrench to ensure the proper torque is applied to each cartridge.

LabView
NI LabVIEW

We use National Instruments data acquisition hardware programmed with LabVIEW software on several of our test validation machines. Our manifold test system automatically flushes, leak tests, and functionally tests up to four complex manifolds simultaneously.

Test Stand
Test Stands

We design and program test stands. Our stand to test larger sectional valves (up to eight sections at once) is controlled and monitored via LabVIEW software and not by mechanical controls and dials. Our engineers program the LabVIEW software.

Inhouse Testing
In-house testing

We perform in-house testing of every engineered system. With the ability to test everything from gas/diesel power units, industrial sumps, hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, and closed-loop systems, we can validate and prove out every solution. The sectional valve test system displays a control panel and data acquisition screen.

Diesel fuel filtration systems

Because of stringent Tier 4 diesel engine emissions requirements, diesel fuel filtration systems are required to keep diesel fuel clean and dry. Consider one of these systems if you use large amounts of diesel fuel to operate your expensive agricultural, mining or forestry equipment. Filtration systems are being used more and more to filter fuel for emergency backup generators at facilities like hospitals, where engine reliability is crucial.

We custom designed the diesel fuel filtration system pictured and installed the system at a diesel fuel storage facility in North Dakota. Extra filtration ensures that fuel is polished as it enters and exits the fuel storage tanks. The system is capable of drying and cleaning the fuel at a rate of 280 gpm.

SOLIDWORKS

We use the SOLIDWORKS program to design engineered solution systems. Using the computer-aided modeling program, our engineers designed an integrated custom manifold on a motor with a gearbox. The design integrates several components into one assembly, minimizes consumed space and optimizes power density.
