At
THISTLE DESIGN we specialise in the design and manufacture of
Heavy Duty Encoders.
We can supply incremental or absolute options in both conventional or
hollow shaft formats.
Our Heavy Duty Encoders can be optimised to operate successfully in
extremes of temperature, vibration, pressure etc.. We tailor the
technology to the application and use Opto-electronics, Hall Effect
Sensors or Sliding Contacts as appropriate. Current applications include
Tracked Vehicles, Power Stations, Steel Mills, Swing Bridges and so on.
High Reliability is achieved by the use of MTBF Software at the design
stage and by Environmental Stress Screening at the manufacturing stage.

Our commitment
to Quality saw us achieve BS EN ISO9001 accreditation in 1998 and we
have used this as a mechanism to ensure that our Heavy Duty Encoders are
properly designed, documented and tested throughout.
The scope of our accreditation covers not only the encoders themselves
but also associated equipment such as meters, displays and other
peripherals.
Technical Resources
We have in-house facilities for the
following:
-
CAD-
PCB Design Layout-
PLC, PIC and CPLD
Programming-
Embedded Software
Facilities and more...
Production Capabilities
We
manufacture and assemble all critical parts in clean air laminar flow
cabinets. This contributes to increased product reliability and reduces
the chance of contamination at the general and sub assembly stages.
All of our products like our heavy duty encoders are Environmentally
Stress tested where appropriate, this improves the life of the products
and helps eliminate early failures.
Our SBAC trained engineers have had extensive training and use Lean
Manufacturing Techniques they have learned to ensure that at every stage
of the manufacturing process waste is kept to a minimum. Also at every
stage of the production we continually examine the process and analyse
it so any improvements required can be made.
