Dinamometri, Macchine, Strumenti e Sistemi per prove sui materiali e sui prodotti finiti

Si-Plan Electronics Research Ltd has facilities to design, develop and manufacture PC-based machines with hydraulic, pneumatic, electric motor and electromagnetic actuation for development and production test systems.
Si-Plan Electronics Research Ltd has a history of building special rigs to customer requirements. The company is able to carry over this service to its standard product range, giving a flexibility to meet the needs of each customer - and in-house CAD systems and CNC machining mean a realistic delivery time will be achieved.

Facilities

Customers' requirements are developed from concept through to finished article by Si-Plan Electronics Research Ltd personnel in departments including:

• Mechanical design and drawing office, using the latest Computer Aided Design systems (Pro/Engineer; Cosmos FEA analysis; Working Model 3D simulation package).
  
• Software development (control, monitoring, display and data logging programmes)
• Electronics design and manufacture
• Testing and calibration
• Mechanical engineering (including hydraulics and pneumatics) with CNC machining, welding and fabrication
