This multi-function, gang pick-and-place head is used by an automotive component manufacturer in their cylinder-rod chrome line. Materials and design support operation in a harsh, corrosive environment. Special features provide a long service life with minimal maintenance.
This ROV was designed and built for deep ocean survey, debris field mapping, artifact recovery, salvage, and underwater excavation. It included specialized manipulator tooling and camera systems to support meticulous documentation and collection of artifacts and marine specimens.
This transport rack lift system with modified transport racks is used in an air-filled 1000 °F bake oven as part of an abrasive manufacturing process. This novel design provides a rugged, abrasive-dust-tolerant mechanism, while eliminating exposure of sensitive components to the high-temperature oxidizing environment. The project included design, fabrication, and installation in multiple bake ovens.
Mitech Systems, Ltd. was established in 1995 by Mike Milosh. A Graduate of Michigan Technological University's Mechanical Engineering program, Mike spent over 13 years working in the Equipment Development Group of a major research and development firm in Columbus, Ohio. He holds multiple patents.
Mike also spent several years designing, building, and operating marine and ROV equipment as the technical director of the Columbus America Discovery Project and spent three seasons at sea conducting underwater recovery operations.
Growing up on a farm with access to a small machine and welding shop, Mike enjoyed inventing and repairing equipment. With the nearest farm supply store 45 miles away, he learned to keep equipment running when parts weren't readily at hand.
With this background, Mike has developed a deep knowledge of machine design principles and has the experience to provide practical insight into a wide variety of design problems.
