Opti-Power is a end-to-end design / development / manufacture process. It originates with the functional design of the cylinder head for air flow performance, “Wet-Flow” combustion technology, valve-train packaging, 5-Axis CNC “Flexible Machining”, and a unique method to fixture the part to permit all critical machining in one-setup.  The fixturing eliminates all stack-up variance caused by multiple set-ups or machine-to-machine variances allowing a degree of precision in the final product not previously seen in mass production cylinder head manufacturing. 

Opti-Power takes esoteric, high-performance technology from the world of motor racing and offers it for OEM mass production at a normal production price.  The benefits of 5-Axis CNC machining (Contour Milling) of cylinder head ports and combustion chambers have been associated with the racing industry for several years.  Opti-Power makes this technology viable to the mass production marketplace.

Opti-Power allows our customers to differentiate their products without the increased complexity and cost of traditional add-on performance-enhancing technologies like forced induction, variable valve geometry.  However, Opti-Power can co-exist with all other performance-enhancing technologies to obtain even higher levels of performance.

Linamar has shown with Opti-Power, it can develop added content that benefits the customer cost/performance ratio while reducing/avoiding adding suppliers and part content to the application.

Opti-Power offers the customer a way to tailor and direct the resulting performance benefits to specific needs such as high-power, increased fuel economy, improved NVH, decreased emissions etc.  Multiple engine performance solutions are available from one technology.

Opti-Power is a tangible example of the successful integration of design, product development, testing, a world-class manufacturing process, and continuous process improvement, that delivers a superior product and helps our customers to define and differentiate themselves in the market.
