The motor control design department is led by Chief Engineer and Co-founder Graham Fick. Graham is a vastly experienced, award winning engineer, who has specialised in motors and motor control electronics since graduating from university in 2008. Graham has led the Zikodrive design department since the company launched in 2015 and has completed a wide range of projects for applications including F1, Space / Satellite applications, laboratory and automotive.
We continually invest in our design capability, whether it be through recruitment, training opportunities or new equipment. Our award winning design team boast over 40 years experience between them in the design and programming of motor controllers and related applications. We have completed over 20 custom design projects in the last 5 years for a wide variety of clients from startups and small customers all the way through to publicly listed companies with thousands of employees.
We typically work up to a ceiling of 10Kw with 120V being the maximum voltage we operate at. However, we will consider projects outside of this scope subject to terms being agreed.
If you are not 100% certain on what the best solution is for your project we can advise on the available options.
Equally, if you have a particularly cost sensitive project we can run through any preliminary specifications you have any advise on how best to implement the design to facilitate the cost constraints.
If the project requires fast prototyping or proof of concept solutions to enable you to get the next stage in your project, we can look to develop a fast initial prototype or potentially even modify an existing stock motor controller to meet these requirements. We can then address the main design challenges in a separate project.
We fully understand that investing in a custom motor control solution can seem like a daunting prospect. We will work as closely as we can with you to remove the barriers and structure the project in a way that works for you.
