ALcontrol required a special mixing system that could rotate 24 sample tubes in a powerful heated ultrasonic bath. The unit had to allow the samples to be easily placed and removed on a rotisserie inside the ultrasonic tank. The team developed the concept and prepared a detailed proposal. A prototype was constructed, tested and approved, and the system went into production.

We were approached by a major thermostat manufacturer to develop a system to measure the movement in a car thermostat over a wide temperature range, and to develop a special host PC software program to control and interpret the results. We  designed, developed and tested both hardware and a unique software program. The units have gone into limited production for manufacturing plants in both the UK and India.

Stanhope Seta needed a working partner to help design and manufacture a wide range of equipment for oil and fuel testing. Our development capabilities in heating and cooling, backed by production engineering and manufacturing, enabled us to supply a wide range of products for diverse applications.

Grant Instruments was approached to provide temperature control systems for two wet benches to coat glass sheets used in head up display modules in military and civilian aircraft. We were asked to improve an original design. The process requires rapid heating and cooling of individual tanks within a 25 – 35°C temperature range. The combination of Grant Flow heater technology and re-circulating chillers and system integration combined to give us the building blocks to rapidly develop a system to make measurements.

Various clients including Xennia, Xaar and Inca contacted us with a requirement to develop equipment for investigating optimal temperature in the print head and to develop a closed-loop circulation system included in production units. Our knowledge of temperature control and feedback loops, plus the ability to set and maintain accurate temperature control at ± 0.1ºC using circulating heating/cooling systems, allowed us to develop solutions for both development and production printing systems.

Schleicher & Schuell required us to design a low temperature recirculating chiller with high cooling power and four-stage high-pressure pumping in a saline environment. Our knowledge of refrigeration cooling, closed loop high performance pumping and materials technology enabled us to offer a unique solution suitable for use in a harsh environment.

Leica in Cambridge market electron beam systems for wafer fabrication and approached Grant to replace a temperature control system used in the focusing coils of a state of the art high resolution system. Our knowledge of refrigeration enabled us to optimise the system for the required temperatures, we sourced a specialist pump to eliminate pulse free flow and our expertise in data acquisition and communications enabled us to develop a device net enabled control box.
