New Product Development & Custom-Engineered Solutions

Fluid Power Engineering, Research & Development

JIT R&D focuses on designing, developing, and testing new products, as well as delivering custom-engineered solutions for industrial customers with unique applications. We help improve performance, solve complex challenges, and bring ideas to life with precision and reliability. 

Custom Engineering & Fluid Power Solutions

From Reverse Engineering to New Product Development

Our Research and Development team specializes in diagnosing issues and engineering solutions for fluid power and control systems. Whether you need to replicate an existing component or develop something entirely new, our team delivers precise, application-specific results.


Capabilities include:

  • Reverse engineering existing components 
  • Manufacturing replacement parts 
  • Tooling and fixture design and fabrication 
  • New product development 
  • Failure analysis and diagnostics

Hydraulic & Pneumatic Cylinder Testing

Custom Test Stands and Advanced Data Logging

Our R&D team designs and builds custom test stands for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, allowing for accurate performance analysis before the cylinder reaches your facility. In addition, we utilize an advanced data logging system that captures and tracks test results over time, providing valuable insights for performance optimization and long-term reliability.

Improve Efficiency by Automating Existing Equipment

We help streamline operations by automating repetitive production tasks through advanced control system upgrades. By enhancing your existing equipment, we reduce manual processes, improve accuracy, and increase overall efficiency.


Successful projects include:

  • Automated shutoff systems for gun drill lathes 
  • Pneumatic cylinder testing with automated reporting 
  • Upgrading directional control valves to proportional control systems

Additive Manufacturing for Fluid Power Components

3D-Printed Manifolds, Pumps & Valves

Using advanced 3D printing technology with a build volume of 250 × 220 × 270 mm, we produce fluid power components such as manifolds, pumps, and valves. Additive manufacturing allows us to reduce component weight, streamline complex designs, and improve overall performance efficiency compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
