Providing Training, Consultancy and Expert Witness services to organisations in all sectors of the global Fluid Power Industry
Utilising in-house 2 and 3D CAD software and 3D printing enables rapid prototypes and any associated tooling to be produced with file sharing ability across globally recognised design software, therefore reducing the design lead-time.
Consultancy
Over 25 years’ experience in all aspects of ‘port to port’ design, development, testing, manufacturing and failure investigation. This knowledge has been used in the development of widely recognised training courses and standards.
Expert Witness
Considerable experience in the investigation of hose, assemblies and associated components which have failed in service. Experienced in the writing of CPR Part 35 compliant reports for the Court and undertaking peer review work.
Threadless Connectors
With over 4.2 million ends in service and proven labour savings in excess of 60%, this connector gives ‘direct to port’ and ‘ends formed from tubing’ capabilities, therefore reducing the number of connectors and associated leak-paths.
