Machining

Almost all projects require some mechanical design or machining of components. Even a recent project to develop a PC104plus card, on the surface an electronics and software exercise, benefitted from a press fixture for the 120 way compliant pin connectors used in the design.

With an in house ability to drive mills, lathes, grinders, welders and saws, we can not only prototype finished designs but we can also quickly test ideas earlier in the design process without it impacting on the project timescale.

These skills also allow us to take on projects with a significant mechanical component and with which other electronic and software design companies may struggle. They also encourage us to "think out of the box". A mechanical solution to what appears to be an electronic problem can be very simple and cost effective.
