Weighing in with another bespoke engineering success

We receive contracts that arrive in many different forms.  Some include detailed instructions along with precise drawings and materials specifications.  Others are far more creative.  Customer ideas really, that require us to plan, design and develop what is simply a broad concept to ensure that the end product exactly matches our customer’s requirements.  This ‘one-off’ weighing machine definitely falls into the latter category and it required all our bespoke engineering expertise to transform what was initially a basic idea into fully functioning reality.

Our customer, who is a blue chip company operating in the plastics sector, needed a high-spec weighing machine capable of automatically batch weighing his product as it came off the production line ready for packing and delivery.  Since he had experienced the quality of our bespoke engineering services previously, he was fully confident that our in-house skills and CNC based technology, plus our project management capabilities would enable us to interpret and develop his own ideas in order to produce the precision technology he was looking for.

Having discussed all the requirements and carefully considered the objectives, we designed and built a prototype batch weigher that our customer then came along to trial.  Then, after putting it though its paces, he was able to suggest a few minor modifications that we were happy to incorporate.

Shortly afterwards we delivered the completed weighing unit, which was engineered to incorporate a moving table and interactive touch control screen.  This was then installed into one our customer’s production lines and after running it for a number of weeks he has declared himself highly delighted with both its performance and efficiency that now enables his automated production process to precisely weigh up to 1500 individual components prior to bagging.

This bespoke weighing machine is now operating on a 24/7 schedule and it has saved our customer considerable time previously spent counting the components.  In addition it has also provided a far higher degree of automated accuracy.

As a bonus, we designed the weigher so that with just a few minor calibration changes it can be easily and quickly adapted in order to process a range of different products and components.

The batch weigher we produced has met every single one of our customer’s objectives and he is so delighted with its efficiency, precision, reliability and versatility that he is now talking to us about the possibility of producing a further five units.
