At its core, PSM has a team of designers, engineers and manufacturers with experience spanning land-based combustion turbines, electrical generation and military and aerospace technology. Taken together, we believe our expertise is matched only by the most advanced OEMs.
Unlike typical aftermarket companies, PSM doesn't merely copy existing systems and components. Instead, we analyze them, model them, redesign them and, in the end, we improve them. We then validate our components in turbines owned by our development partners before they go on the general market. It is this technological understanding and unique perspective that has made us the #1 aftermarket engineering and manufacturing company in the heavy industrial turbine market.
PSM equips our engineers with state-of-the-art analytical and design tools. These include ANSYSTM finite element modeling for structural, vibration and heat transfer; FLUENTTM and FIELDVIEWTM for computational fluid dynamics; AFTTM for fluid networking; AXIALTM for aerodynamics; and the latest high speed laser technology coupled with FAROTM and POLYWORKSTM for 3D scanning of components. These tools leverage the abilities of our engineers to characterize, analyze, design and proof components in a thorough and timely manner so PSM can respond to and support our customers needs.
PSM's supply chain is comprised of ISO-certified manufacturers in the U.S. and Western Europe. These suppliers all work to detailed PSM specifications under continuing on-site technical support from our manufacturing engineers. The qualification and selection of PSM's key suppliers and the adherence to our strict development guidelines is key to maintaining the quality of our components. PSM's supplier base employs many state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques including solidification modeling at casting, design of experiments, and statistical process control to ensure faster development cycles and faster times to market.
