Scientific projects on a European scale
MECA MAGNETIC regularly collaborates on scientific projects in low-frequency magnetic shielding for research laboratories but also for universities.
Our main scientific projects and or products developed for industrial groups and realized regularly during the past years, have allowed MECA MAGNETIC teams to develop a recognized know-how and to maintain a certain level of competences which will benefit to each stage of your project.
We have collaborated with research laboratories such as CEA, CNRS, INFN, CIEMAT, DESY, CERN and universities such as Universität des Saarlandes, Bar Ilan University, Georg August Universität Göttingen, University of twente, Universität Rostock, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Aalto University, University of Geneva…
- Because innovation is for us a key factor of success, we permanently seek to develop it by supporting the collaboration with our customers and new technological partners of type start-up or laboratories of innovation.
Our contribution to European projects
Thanks to its know-how and its internal or internalized technical capacity (thanks to its network of faithful and quality partners), MECA MAGNETIC is able to respond to European calls for tender.
The main applications for low frequency magnetic shielding made from Permimphy, cryophy or other ferro nickel alloys are accelerator cavities, cryostats, quantum computers, squids, electronic microscopes…
The proposed solutions can take the following forms: shielding that follows the shape of the parts to be shielded, large cylinders (>1m3), room shielding, shielded cabins…

A long term support
With more than 20 years of experience, MECA MAGNETIC uses all its know-how and accompanies you in your scientific projects by offering you:
- – Project management (annual or multi-year).
– The answer to complex specifications.
– A realization according to the requirements of the ISO 9001 v. 2015.
– Assistance in magnetic design.
– Mechanical design on Solidworks, definition of manufacturing processes.
– Prototyping and costing, assistance in the reflection on the specifications before launching the consultation.
– Supply of the quality assurance plan and control plans.
– A detailed logistics plan.
– Manufacturing and heat treatment.
– A follow-up of traceability
MECA MAGNETIC has a stable team and experienced human resources, whether in management, technicians or operators, which allows us to meet your needs for support throughout your project. Our staff has an average experience of more than 8 years.
The organization thus ensures you a regularity of competences, regularly evaluated (annual measurement of competences and versatility, and adaptation of the training plan (internal and external) to the needs (GPEC), to the needs in process qualification and manufacturing processes
An essential partnership
Since the beginning of the year 2000, MECA MAGNETIC has chosen a strategic orientation and collaboration with large scientific laboratories and European projects and has very quickly integrated groups or associations of companies in order to respond to these research organizations.
These companies (large French groups, ETIs and niche SMEs) are now federated under the Piges group.
Piges aims to federate around technical, economic and strategic themes, and to coordinate common actions by creating privileged links with academic and institutional partners. It is also committed to animate, train and communicate on the development of a coherent network, to support the French research organizations by representing a force of proposal to reinforce the image of excellence of the French industry.
FAQ
Do you make prototypes or single parts?
Yes, we usually do in our line of business.
How many projects have you managed?
MECA MAGNETIC has contributed over the last 10 years to more than 10 national or European scientific projects, some of them multi-year. As such, we have an internal competence to respond to the different stages of calls for tender, to plan, to establish cost structures upstream of the projects, to follow your projects, to exchange regularly with you, and to adapt to the reality of the planning evolutions.
Can you accompany us in the design?
MECA MAGNETIC can help you finalize your magnetic and mechanical designs, in order to adapt as closely as possible to your installation/assembly and magnetic constraints. We can also help you to secure your material supply.
How are the results checked?
We control the attenuations with our Helmhotz coil or with Gaussmeters. We systematically propose the supply of magnetic value readings made on control washers, coming from the same material batch and having undergone the same heat treatment as the delivered parts.
Do you carry out installations on site?
Yes, this is possible in continental Europe only ( countries closed to France).
Are you certified?
MECA MAGNETIC is certified ISO 9001 since 2009. This certification, issued by the TÜV and renewed in 2022, certifies that the quality system at MECA MAGNETIC is evaluated annually and judged to be in conformity with the manufacturing requirements of our low frequency magnetic shields.
