Enhancing productivity through precision instrumentation and controls, focusing on niche applications which have a direct impact on process and product performance for end user customers.

  Microscan's 2D bar code readers can read data matrix codes which measure less than 2mm square, enabling products such as printed circuit boards and components to be tracked and verified throughout the production process.  
     
  Automotive manufacturers seek to develop exterior coatings with superior scratch and weather resistance. In a test project, large, complex body parts of a race car were coated with Variochrome paint followed by a UV-curable clear coating which was cured using Fusion's UV lamp systems.  
     
  In heavy process applications, Servomex on-line gas analysers ensure precise, continuous monitoring of gas concentrations, improving plant efficiency as well as complying with safety and environmental legislation.  
     
  Particle size characterisation is critical to the formulation of a drug. A new analyser from Malvern enables both particle size and shape to be determined, producing consistent and repeatable performance of the ingredients in each tablet.
