Fairground Speed Sensor System
21st October 2010
The Tagada fairground ride has been around for
sometime. It involves a spinning "bowl" of chairs with hydraulic
arms to bounce it. Recently Health & Safety recommend that the ride
should only be bounced once the bowl reached a certain speed.
Our client commissioned us to install a speed sensor system before he could
take his Tagada to Hull Fair, who require that the recommendation is followed.
We have worked on various fairground rides to bring them up to new Health & Safety requirements.
Pendolino Motor Test Rig
2009
Our client repairs motors from Pendolino trains
and commissioned us to build a test rig that can be used with a variety
of non-standard motors.
We designed a panel around a Hyundai N300 inverter and programmed
it with custom v/f curves for bench running the repaired motors.
