July 2020
Increased workload and a doubling of our quality control staff over recent years, meant that our existing QC area had become too small to operate efficiently and was impinging on our testing department. To solve the problem, a new 300 m2 dedicated quality control facility has been constructed at our #8 Bowden Road premises. Fully insulated, temperature controlled and with a stabilised resin coated floor, the new room houses precision measuring equipment including two gantry style coordinate measuring (CMM) machines. A large access door enables large components to be easily delivered and a gantry crane can be used to place heavy objects onto the inspection benches. The move has created more space for the testing department and increases our potential throughput.
