JK Controls have the skills to produce bespoke
instrumentation and interface equipment to suit
custom requirements, upgrade and retrofit existing or obsolete electronic
equipment and design and produce prototypes.
We can design the electronic circuitry to a
customer specification. Having proven the design we can carry out
production and enclosure design to prototype stage. The resulting product
can then be produced in low volumes by our own personnel, then delivered as a
fully working tested electronic device.
We will also manufacture to a customers existing
designs. This can be particularly useful for low volume high value
equipment, prototype equipment and replication of obsolete apparatus. We
will procure all materials. We can build to a prescribed component list
or specify and supply the parts ourselves.
Rising costs and increasing
legislation in industry means upgrading or replacing older control and
instrumentation systems may be required. If this is not financially viable
then JK Controls is able to offer a range of solutions, from full
replacement, to component level sub-assemblies. If budget constraints
are an issue we can provide partial upgrade, even replication of critical
obsolete apparatus.
Customer requirements for
these types of service are
extremely varied and your application will be different to any that have gone
before. Therefore if you
have a need for special instrumentation, measuring or interface devices please
contact us, we
always like to tackle something different.
Past projects undertaken by JK Controls vary from
high accuracy displacement measurement using moiré fringe techniques, through
camera controls for in-reactor inspection. Serial line eavesdrop interfaces
in power stations to railway signalling current detectors in rail
lines and microprocessor based servo motor controls. We have
upgraded alarm systems
using
plug-in replacement circuit boards (leaving the original infrastructure
intact) and replaced obsolete mechanical instruments, such as chart
recorders and Vector Meters,
with modern electronic equivalents . For examples of some devices please
