     With over 30 years of experience in the design, manufacture and commissioning of safety-critical mechanical systems in practically all industry sectors Rafael Lastra has plowed a lone path defined by peerless ´know-how´ and innovation as a rule.

    With over 200+ novel designs, spanning the wide spectrum of mechanical engineering, the engineer has accumulated invaluable experience enabling the most efficient use of time and resources to bring to life innovations in various fields on-time and on-budget.  When the majority of engineers in industry shy away from innovation Rafael Lastra Engineering has welcomed the challenges new designs introduce.

     It is by way of this ´baptism-by-fire´ that Rafael Lastra Engineering has accrued the required experience and discipline to decipher between solutions that are operational and those that are not.

Below you will find listed the fields of expertise Rafael Lastra Engineering master.

 

 

Rafael Lastra Engineering – Innovation by Design 

There exist only a handful of engineers around the world that have the experience of taking a completely new firearm design and bringing it to life successfully.

Rafael Lastra Engineering is among the few.  

 

 

       The engineer also tackles the most demanding applications for next-generation equipment in various fields.  Some projects include… Full-scale Earthquake testing facility at Lehigh University, Closed-Loop control of explosive compacting presses for Picatinny Arsenal, Control-System design for Scranton Army Ammunition Plant,  Axis design for Chrysler Mack Avenue 3.7/4.7 engine plant (Lamb Technicon),  Curve Sawing Optimizer control axis, among countless other projects designed and commissioned on-time, on-budget and to specification.
