State-of-the-art engineering
ESTABLISHED in 1973, Leussink Engineering is a state- of-the-art engineering company located in Wollongong, NSW.
Family- owned and operated, the business is now managed by the second generation of Leussinks who have continued to grow the company in both size and operational capacity.
Leussink Engineering provide a range of engineering solutions.
From machining of bespoke components – providing parts and components for turn- key manufactured projects, world class quality welding and jigging table solutions – to reverse engineering obsolete OEM components, Leussink will leverage its world class thinking, skills, and reputation to solve your engineering problem.
Leussink is the leading supplier in Australia of state- of- the- art, large volume, portable metrology systems that deliver: unprecedented efficiencies in deviation analysis, precision in reverse engineering, and qualification of tolerances of any part required, without having to rely on an external metrology lab.
Leussink managing director Jason Leussink said the company’s hardware is supported by a range of versatile software programs to suit the individual needs of a business and the type of work undertaken.
“We don’t just sell you a product. We provide solutions designed to help your business grow through improved accuracy, efficiency and quality,” he said.
“We speak your language – our understanding and expertise in engineering and manufacturing means zero confusion and zero chances of anything being lost in translation.”
Measurement arms
Leussink provides a full support solution to ensure longevity of metrology equipment – whether that be technical support, servicing, training, accessories, or calibration checks.
The range of metrology arms are portable – meaning you can perform 3D inspections, CAD-to-part analysis, alignment or reverse engineering in house, without having to go to an external metrology lab.
Given their size, the Leussink measurement arms can measure large volumes, making it ideal for use on mining sites.
“With a Leussink measurement arm, you can repair, restore or reverse engineer obsolete OEM parts that are no longer available to exact specifications,” Mr Leussink said.
“We specialise in heavy duty machinery engineering and the team are experienced in ensuring continual operation of everything from large mining trucks and loaders to crushers, feeders and earth movers.”
Case study
The company recently reverse engineered a project for a blue chip steel manufacturing client to help problem solve some issues they were having with their impellers breaking.
“The client uses ocean water in the operation of its plant to cool equipment and materials,” Mr Leussink said.
“The salt water moves through the plant via a network of pipes, with the water pumped using a custom-built, cast-iron impeller.
“Due to the long delivery lead time of the designed cast impellers and a need for better strength and durability of the working vanes, the client started looking into other options.”
The company engaged Leussink Engineering to collaborate on and deliver a bespoke mixed flow impeller, which would be a more functional long-term solution as they had multiple pumps with the original designed cast impellers.
Leussink was tasked with providing solutions to several key challenges, the most pressing of which was the absence of any existing designs or molds for the impeller.
The complexity of the job coupled with the tight timeframe for delivery were additional challenges Leussink needed to overcome in meeting the client’s expectations.
