Our Projects
Thermostat assembly, calibration and test machine
This machine was a complex engineering challenge. This machine is currently working in industry.
5-way Bracket assembly
Our design brief was to attach a common thermostat housing to five differing brackets. We achieved this by unifying five separate production cells into a single machine.
Gearbox air decay facility
The brief for this machine was to design and build a machine to test the three components of the Ford Transit 4×4™ gearbox housing for porosity.
Our special purpose assembly / test machines range from simple single stage leak testing fixtures to fully automatic assembly / test systems with an integrated data logging facility.
Such assembly / test equipment has been supplied to a broad spectrum of industries with applications ranging from the automatic progressive assembly of automotive products to component performance, endurance, functional and leakage integrity monitoring.
