From custom manufacturing equipment to automated laboratory research tools to new technologies that keep our soldiers safe, Techshot engineers develop innovative products that make life better.
Revealed for the first time at a recent exhibition of new military technology in Virginia Beach, Va., a prototype of Techshot's solid state shelter lighting system was one of the shining stars of the show.
The high intensity light emitting diode (LED) array, developed for the U.S. Army's Natick (Massachusetts) Soldier RD&E Center, outperforms old fluorescent tubes in every way.
"The existing lighting system for U.S. Army shelters is heavy and has several logistical headaches associated with it," said Techshot Director of Military Business Development Jim Cherry. "Fluorescent systems can weigh nearly 100 pounds; our's weighs approximately 75 percent less."
And because the Techshot system is incredibly rugged, no one has to spend time shipping fragile replacement tubes all over the globe or dealing with the environmental hazards of broken or expended tube disposal.
Using less energy, the Techshot solution produces three times the... Continue reading about the lighting system |

A perhaps inelegant way of describing what Techshot does is that it designs things and the things that make things, i.e., it not only develops new products, but also manufacturing equipment.
Recently, contract manufacturer Precision Solutions, LLC, hired Techshot to develop the equipment it needed to speed production of parts for a Fortune 10 customer.
"Techshot took the worry out of getting this important production line set up," said Precision Solutions Program Development Manager Robert Linville. "This first-of-its-kind system will improve our efficiency and help us keep our customer happy -- and that makes me very happy."
Techshot first developed a fixture that would hold an extruded plastic part while it is being filled with foam. The fixture needs to hold the part firmly and evenly to prevent bulging as the foam expands.
The entire fixture is then...
