by Wendy Jeffery

The Boulton and Watt steam engine, originally installed in 1812, is the oldest working beam engine in the world.

It is on this 200-year-old steam engine that engineers want to install the latest state-of-the-art sensors and instrumentation to monitor position, speed and acceleration of the piston.

This Mechatronics Project – ‘marrying 200 years of technology’ – has 5 main aims.

To understand the impact on the engine when running at full load.
To explore engine efficiency.
To illustrate to visitors the internal workings of the engine in real-time.
To display information to less-able visitors unable to climb the stairs.
To provide data for educational and research projects at all levels.

Read how they monitored the position of the piston.

Load cells deliver high accuracy in Gemini Telescopes even after 20 years!

24 October, 2019
by Wendy Jeffery

20 years ago, we were approached by The Royal Greenwich Observatory in Cambridge to design and build nearly 700 bespoke load cells for two 8.1m diameter telescopes known as The Gemini Project.

Now 20 years on, these custom-made load cells are still consistently and accurately performing an integral part of the telescope’s control system.

To continue to deliver accurate and detailed astronomical images, we have been asked to re-design and manufacture custom load cells to the same specifications incorporating up-to-date electronics with the latest state-of-the-art amplifiers.

See how we did it.
