Gables Engineering Flies High With Help from Kurtz Ersa North America
Megan Jergens on behalf of Gables Engineering, Coral Gables, FL F
ounded in 1946, Gables Engi- neering, Inc. remains an indus- try leader in custom avionics
controls and related products. The company’s engineers maintain a sharp focus on all aspects of control panel technology, in its current state and as it continues to evolve. Gables Engineering operates a pick-and- place surface-mount assembly line, laser engraving systems, and com- puter-numerically-controlled (CNC) machining facilities fully dedicated to its products. The company uses the latest in lighting measurement and calibration equipment to meet rigid OEM lighting specifications. Victor P. Clarke, the founder of
Gables Engineering, began making control panels in a small storefront in Coral Gables, FL in 1946. Clarke started Gables Engineering by com- bining an understanding of manufac- turing techniques with a superior knowledge of aviation electronics and design. With the aid of Clarke’s thor-
ough knowledge of the aviation in- dustry, Gables Engineering rapidly established a strong international reputation as a dependable source for reliable custom-engineered con- trol panels, audio systems, and relat- ed products for aviation applications. Gables Engineering remains a lead-
ing source for custom avionics con- trols and related products.
Control Panel Technology The company’s engineers con-
tinue a tradition begun by Victor Clarke by maintaining a sharp focus on all aspects of control panel tech-
nology. They remain connected to technology developments and help define future developments through active participation in industry steering committees. While new technologies are being defined, Gables works closely with operators to identify specific solutions for their
fleets. In many cases, future imple- mentation of evolving technologies is supported in current designs, extend- ing the expected useful operating lifetimes of the company’s products. Gables Engineering’s manage-
ment continues to invest in the com- pany and its equipment, and has de- veloped many proprietary processes that give the firm an edge in the mar- ketplace. In contrast to trends to- wards outsourcing manufacturing processes, Gables Engineering is strongly vertically integrated, per- forming its own manufacturing. This offers customers a rapid design-to- production cycle and better overall control of quality and delivery time. That vertical integration includes a pick-and-place surface-mount assem- bly line, a wave soldering process, laser engraving and CNC machining facilities fully dedicated to its prod- ucts. It also uses the latest in light- ing measurement and calibration equipment to meet the rigid OEM lighting specifications. The company’s strategy to use
