Lehnen Lab

A SPACE TO EXPLORE BEFORE YOU COMMIT

1,600 square feet of proof-of-concept space, open to engineers, makers, students, and teams working on what’s next. No cost. No contract. No sterile demo cells. Bring the problem. We’ll bring the tools.

WHERE IDEAS GET TESTED BEFORE THEY BECOME PROJECTS

Most proof-of-concept work happens in conversations and slide decks. Lehnen Lab is where it happens in physical space.

Real components. Real partner technology. Real Lehnen engineers working alongside you. Built so you can de-risk your project before you commit to it, or discover what’s possible before you even know the question to ask.

What the Lab Is

FOUR WAYS TO USE THIS SPACE

A Proof-of-Concept Resource

Experiment with industry-leading technology before investing in a comprehensive solution. Rapid prototyping, our machine shop, 3D printing, and access to cutting-edge partner components. Leave with a developed concept you can bring back to your team.

A DEMO CENTER

Real-world access to our partners’ technology, with no sterile demo cells. Visitors see how components from multiple manufacturers can work together to solve their specific problem, with the end-to-end view that independent assessments cannot provide.

An Educational Resource

Open to students, teachers, and learners who need space, equipment, and mentorship that they may not have access to elsewhere. Home to ongoing programs with Keene State College and a growing roster of partner institutions.

A Professional Resource Center

Seminars, webinars, in-person trainings, product demos, and proof-of-concept exercises. Direct access to industry experts from our partner companies. Switched from Allen Bradley to Beckhoff? Want a one-on-one with a vision system expert? Schedule it.

Engineers, Educators, and Everyone Building What's Next

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WORKING ON HARD PROBLEMS

Engineers and Operations Teams

You are scoping a new system, evaluating components, or facing a process change. The Lab is where you test without committing, with direct access to Lehnen’s engineers and partner experts.

Students and Educators

You are looking for hands-on time with technology your classroom cannot provide. The Lab is open to students, teachers, and learners with programs like Keene State College’s SPDI and Computer Programming tracks.

Partners and Industry Peers

You are building content, running a training, or demonstrating new technology. The Lab is a venue for partners and customers to host workshops, demos, and proof-of-concept work.

Technology Partners

REAL TECH, FROM REAL MANUFACTURERS

Our partners are industry-leading automation and components manufacturers. Their technology is available in the Lab for evaluation, testing, and prototyping at no charge to visitors.

Get Involved

TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE THE LAB

Concept Development

Use the Lab to de-risk your project before you commit. Prototype with industry-leading technology, collaborate with our engineers, and leave with a developed concept your team can act on. 

Lab Events

Free workshops, trainings, and Lunch & Learns hosted by our technology partners and industry experts. Open to engineers, operators, students, and anyone curious about what’s happening in industrial automation.
