Automotive What particular mechanic or engineer does this work?

TL;DR Summary

Hi, I would love to understand how to create a software for controlling a hydraulic car lift.

Hi, making the thread again since I posted a pic with a link, so I apologize.

What particular mechanic or engineer can design/create (using a CAD, new software, etc), a hydraulic car lift to mechanically lift a car? Plus its accessories/machinery/cables in a regular auto repair shop, for the mechanic to work underneath?

What specific expertise is this?

Who can create a software for controlling this machine?


Folks, this is my question since I am not educated in your area.

Welcome to PF.

What particular mechanic or engineer can design/create (using a CAD, new software, etc), a hydraulic car lift to mechanically lift a car?

The machine would be designed by a Mechanical Engineer.

Who can create a software for controlling this machine?

The machine does not require software. It is controlled by electrical switches and motors, or by hydraulic valves. Mechanical interlocks are required, without software, because safety is very important.

Hello, Baluncore:

Thank you for be my first reply. You rock!

I mean, who do this? Any mechanic or engineer? Or it is a separate expertise, example, let's say Hydraulic mechanic,,,?

No, no, you already answered: a Mechanical Engineer.

So, a mechanical engineer could create in CAD a "new" type of hydraulic valves and cables.

So, a mechanical engineer could create in CAD a "new" arrangement of hydraulic valves and cables, chains or screws.

Again, thank you a lot for the answers in educating me about this.

I may comeback with other questions during the weekend.

Have a good day, you and every member here!
