Companies can seldom arrange for their engineering or technical staff to work [Rig photo] on development projects away from the day to day operation of the plant. Similarly, the smaller manufacturer may not have the necessary expertise in-house to undertake such projects.

In these cases the centre is a valuable resource to the manufacturer, as it can provide a complete solution to the project in hand without tying up valuable technical staff indefinitely. Some of the projects recently completed or in progress at the centre are:

Automated endurance test rig for office furniture 
Automated contactor contact test 
System for debris build-up removal 
Robotic beef boning equipment  
Automated Magnet Bonding System 
Multi-Vendor Bus Technology  

Small Thermostat Assembly  

Automated Shearing of disposable underwear 

 

 

 

 

Funding Support

With both National and European encouragement for innovation and increased competitiveness in the manufacturing and process industries, there often exist suitable funding resources for Industrial-Academic partner projects. The centre, in the position of academic partner can assist in the preparation of proposals for such funding, and subsequently work towards the completion of these projects.
