Seismic clamp

This panel has been designed to control hydraulic
valves and rams to clamp the nuclear reactor
refuelling machine to a solid structure in the event
of seismic activity. It involved replacing all the
obsolete relay's and timers with a Siemens PLC and
solid state relays to improve reliability and control.
Laser Telemetry

This panel has been designed to provide laser
positioning and telemetry to a overhead gantry
crane. Installed in conjunction with a colour CCTV
camera system, this allows accurate and repeatable
positioning of the crane. This has been installed at
a nuclear power station, for positioning of waste
materials within a storage pond.
DC Travel drive system

This panel has been designed to control the travel
of a large (1300Tonne un-laden) gantry crane.
There are 12 motors to provide motion, and these
are controlled by custom panels with Siemens DC
drive units. The drives are networked via a RS485
and profibus networks. Overall control is interfaced
to a Raypac control system via a Siemens S7-300
series PLC. Feedback is given to the users via a 15"
colour touch screen.
Vulcanizing plate heater

This heater has been designed to aid in the repair
of rubber fire hoses. Used in conjunction with a
hose repair kit and an approved 110Vac power
supply, this allowed the users to provide safe,
on-site repairs of hoses.
