PCB assembly support supports manufacture


For fast turnaround, rapid prototyping, high technology, R&D or NPI PCB assembly, ASK Technology is able to offer placement accuracy down to 01005 (imperial) combined with comprehensive inspection using onsite x-ray and AOI. Quality assurance


processes (ISO-certified) enable customers to benefit from its focus through design for manufacture feedback. Turnaround times ensure


a product is delivered in the minimal assembly time possible. The company is able to offer flexible procurement options from full supply to complete

free issue materials and PCBs. The company can


support low volumes from one board upwards, and has the capability to turn around complete assembly in 24 hours, as well as service regular or intermittent build requirements. To support the initial


design process, the company offers a comprehensive PCB assembly service. www.asktechnology.co.uk


Advanced moulding showcases plant facility


Plastics injection moulding manufacturer, Boddingtons Plastics, enjoyed its third successive appearance at Southern Manufacturing. A new plant has steadily increased capacity and production. The advanced moulding environment now includes expandable Class 7 cleanrooms, eight injection moulding machines, reduced bioburdens and particulates, white rooms with less fibres and contaminants and disaster


The Bloodhound land speed world record attempt has been supported by Bott from its earliest days, with products installed in the car assembly workshop in Bristol. Clive Woodward, CEO,


said: “This project is more than just breaking records, it is about setting new positive perspectives for our society,” he added. The latest milestone


was the recent test runs at Cornwall Newquay Airport. After a month of testing the integration of the EJ200 jet engine, the steering, brakes, suspension, data systems


and other functions, the Bloodhound car blasted down the 1.7m long runway, hitting a peak speed of 210mph in just eight seconds! The team set up a


temporary workshop. Using benches and mobile drawer cabinets, the Bloodhound engineers created mechanical systems bays around the car and a fabrication shop, supporting minor repairs and adjustments for pre/ post run engineering checks. www.bottltd.co.uk

recovery safeguards. All manufacturing


programmes come on line through the company’s gated new production introduction (NPI) process to minimise risk. There is also the capacity to create finished components and shelf-ready packaged components. www.boddingtons.co.uk


Operators can manage, optimise and improved compressed air-based services, using a cloud- based, air management platform from Gardner Denver. The CompAir iConn is available through distributor BCAS. It delivers advanced


analytics, which enable operators to stay in control of their installation. The system can provide historic, real-time, predictive and cognitive analytics, enabling users to rectify potential issues

before they happen. Users can monitor


compressor performance from a single location, via a mobile device, tablet or PC. Compressor or ancillary


asset data can be transferred securely via GSM, Ethernet or Wi-Fi to a range of connected devices. The secure cloud- based services allow users to view real-time analytics or access data via open application programmable interfaces (APIs). www.bcaslimited.co.uk
