optical sensor device

A smaller, but nonetheless complicated part are the composite domes we make for Ocular Robotics www.ocularrobotics.com these domes are small (50mm diameter) but the weight, cosmetics and quality have to be 100%.
Initially we made the domes using oven-cured pre-impregnated laminates but due to cosmetic 'browning' issues we invented a new method utilising plastic printed components, trapped rubber intensifiers and an injection procedure to produce a composite RTM component with an 'A' class finish. These small components took all of our skill to reproduce in production quantities with consistent quality and weight.

Mine site lifting beam

In 2012 we were commissioned by a specialist mining equipment company to manufacture brackets and lifting beams dedicated to a particular BHP mine site conveyor belt. The requirement of the lifting beam was working load of 2 tons and failure at 6 tons. The 6 kg composite lifting beam and carbon fibre brackets (pictured) were tested and approved for use.
