Our facilities
Streamline Automation's facilities support the research and development interests of our diverse staff of scientists, engineers, and technicians. Housed in 15,000 sq.ft. of office and workshop space in Chelsea Industrial Park, our headquarters are strategically located close to Redstone Arsenal.
The working space is divided in three buildings as follows:
- 5,000 sq.ft of office space,
- 3,500 sq.ft. of laboratory space, including a wet chemistry, a biology, and an electronics laboratories,
- 6,500 sq.ft. of workshop space for fabrication and assembly of components and systems.
Chemistry laboratory
The chemistry laboratory includes spectrometers and equipment for working with a variety of chemicals, including rocket propellants. We also have the necessary infrastructure for assembling and testing laboratory-scale pilot chemical process systems.
Biology laboratory
The biology laboratory is equipped with a Cepheid Smart Cycler PCR and electrophoresis systems for working with DNA. An incubator is available to support microbiology experiments. We also have several centrifuges that range in size from microliter tubes to a floor-standing model that can accept liter tubes for processing large samples.
Electronics laboratory
Streamline Automation has a variety of equipment available to support our projects in electronics development. We have a suite of tools for circuit design and analysis, board layout, and board fabrication. A lithography system is available to deposit soldering paste on circuit boards for surface mount components. We also have a suite of equipment for board rework, and a programmable reflow oven for board fabrication.
Machine shop
The machine shop is equipped for small-scale part fabrication. The shop includes a 4-axis CNC mill and a CNC lathe. Our machining capabilities enable rapid turnaround of custom designed parts, and finish machining of laser cut and rapid prototype parts.
