# Design AND manufacture : made-to measure air motors for high performance machines
9 mai 2017
### Fine-tuning the air motor to your needs
Industrial machines and equipment that are powered by compressed air motors can be quite complex entities used [for very specific applications](https://blog.modec.fr/en/eight-examples-of-the-use-of-air-motors-in-specific-environments?hsLang=fr). As a result, they often require a very exact motor function which the mass-market air motors cannot always provide.
Of course it’s possible to compromise and work with a standard pneumatic motor that sort of gets the job done, but why make do when it’s possible to fine-tune a motor that meets your specific needs?
### Professional technical expertise
[An air motor designer and manufacturer like Modec can offer this made-to-measure service](https://blog.modec.fr/en/case-study-a-custom-made-portable-valve-actuator?hsLang=fr). When you have a team of qualified mechanical engineers and a dedicated in-house design office, it is possible to exchange directly with a client’s engineers to fully understand the end application and how the air motor needs to perform. This understanding is key to selecting, developing or adapting a motor that will facilitate the best possible performance.
For distributor partners, working with a company that has this level of technical expertise can be reassuring. Most distributors operate in the bigger markets and so, for the most part, have no need for in-house technical specialists. However, if a client on occasion requires a motor that can respond to a more complex need, the distributor knows it has access to qualified engineers capable of coming up with a solution.
### Rapid response
[As a manufacturer, Modec has a further advantage](https://blog.modec.fr/en/4-reasons-to-choose-modec-pneumatic-motors?hsLang=fr) – the company has its own production assembly line which means that not only can the team come up with a solution, it can do so quickly. In general, orders are turned around within three days.
Operating at the niche high end of the air motor market, the company stocks a wide range of components and therefore nearly always has the necessary parts to hand to build or adapt a motor that provides the desired functionality. Should they need to order a special component, the majority of parts are produced nearby, in the Rhône Valley, so even this will be dispatched within one or two days.
### Improved performance all round
For the end client – whether the order is direct to the manufacturer or via a distributor – this level of reactivity can be critical when it comes to reducing production downtime and the knock-on effect to the core business.
For the distributor partner, this type of fast, professional response from a high-end air motor manufacturer ensures they can, in turn, provide an excellent service to their clients without the cost and financial risk of keeping specialist, slow-moving components in stock.
