Most modern Diesel engines are now fitted with a turbocharger for improved efficiency and higher power output. A turbocharger consists essentially of a turbine driven by the exhaust gases leaving the engine, directly connected to a rotary compressor.
Cambridge Dynamics used their expertise in palletised transfer systems to help one of the world’s leading manufacturers of garden machinery optimise production of a new range of lawn trimmers. They designed, manufactured and commissioned an entire production line consisting of four manual assembly stations, two automated assembly stations, two automatic test stations and an unload station.

Cambridge Dynamics have worked closely with Moog Controls limited for many years, and have been appointed as a Moog Systems House. Moog were the first company to produce a programmable digital servo controller (PSC) and we have successfully used this controller in a wide variety of applications from machine tools to high security access gates for the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment.
