Bespoke Engineering

A wide range of various companies employ bespoke engineering for solutions to the problems encountered in their industry. Typically, a company would look into a bespoke solution for common issues or problems that they are constantly dealing with, causing their business not to operate and perform effectively. A bespoke engineering solution helps the company to perform more effectively and efficiently, allowing them to operate at its maximum capacity.

Bespoke solutions have been used in warehouse facilities and different industries to improve their production lines. Whether it is for electronic items, dc motors, brushless motors, or food, an effective production line helps improve the manufacturing of these products. Belt conveyors and heavy rollers are made according to the bespoke measurements and requirements to ensure the best standard operation in the production line.

Specialists providing bespoke engineering services are also able to help manufacturing companies in producing even the smallest bespoke parts. For instance, in the engineering and electronic industries, there are manufacturing companies that create dc motors’ parts, brushless motors’ parts, and gearheads according to their bespoke requirements and measurements. A bespoke engineering solution eliminates the need for companies to deal with different subcontractors.

Bespoke solutions are not only for companies, it is also for those who want to have bespoke parts for their car or motorbike. Bespoke solutions can be anything from integrating a personal design into the vehicle or improving the vehicle’s engine performance. One can also have bespoke parts created, designed, and integrated onto their vehicle. Some companies can even produce a brand new bespoke vehicle.

Bespoke engineering has been used in numerous ways to help improve products and services, making sure that they meet the client’s exact requirements. Spend some time in finding the right company that provides bespoke solutions, and make sure that a reputable engineer is there to provide the best solution.

X is for X-ray

is for X-ray







X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation. They can pass through all uncompressed gasses and some solid and liquid substances. They are commonly used to take images inside objects most notably for inspecting internal damage to the inside of the human body, usually damage to bones.

Some electrical components are known to give off X-rays and so it is important to take this into account during electronic manufacture processes. Small doses of radiation can be very damaging in the long term.

W is for Watt

is for Watt






In electronics and electronic manufacture a watt is a unit of measure for the rate that energy is transferred or converted. It is the equivalent of one joule per second is is usually represented by the symbol W. It is named after James Watt a famous engineer from Scotland for his input in the creation of the steam engine.

V is for Volt

is for Volt







The Volt is a unit of measure for electromotive force, electric potential and potential difference and so is a very important part of electronic manufacture. It is usually represented by the symbol V. The name comes from Alessandro Volta who is widely regarded as the inventor of the first chemical battery.

In trying to explain what a volt is, voltage difference is usually compared to water pressure difference in water filled pipes.

U is for Unijunction Transistor

is for Unijunction Transistor






As the name suggests a unijunction transistor is a transistor with just one junction. It was a very popular component used in hobbyist electronic design in the 60s and 70s because it allowed for the easy construction of oscillators. When used of part of a PCB assembly they usually use surface mount construction.

T is for Technology

is for Technology






When it comes to electronic design and engineering the way that technology moves is very important. Advances in the manufacture process of electrical components helps technology evolve. We're beginning to see things that we never would've dreamt of a few years ago making an appearance in electronic design and the sky really is the limit.

S is for Switch

is for Switch

Where electronic design is concerned a switch is a component that can be used to make or break a circuit. A switch may be used to power on or power off a device or divert power elsewhere. They can be manually activated or can be controlled by the level or power flow amongst other automated causes.

R is for Robotics

is for Robotics






A robot is a mechanical or sometimes virtual entity that can perform a set of given tasks independently or with guidance. They are usually mechanical and are driven by belts, hydraulics, DC motors and many other electronic components. They can be programmed to work autonomously or be guided by human intervention.

Today they are used in many industries and there is a concern that as time goes on they could replace humans in many key employment sectors. As well as being tools for industry robots have been created to be helpful in the home, entertaining or to compete in robotics competitions.

Q is for Quality Control

is for Quality Control







Quality control is an important process in many different disciplines, none more so than engineering. Monitoring the quality of the production during the entire electronic manufacture process can ensure a good outcome.

Quality control is more focussed and testing products to check for potential defects rather than quality assurance which is used to rule out these potential problems.

P is for PCB

is for PCB







A PCB (printed circuit board) is a component of electrical engineering that is used to both support and connect other electronic components. They use conductive pathways etched from copper sheets on a non-conductive substrate to pass electricity between components and create circuits.

The methods used in PCBs have been around since the early 20th century and manufacturing process keep improving to make them smaller and more useful.

O is for Ohm's Law

is for Ohm's Law






Ohm's law is a scientific law that states that in most cases current is proportional to electrical field in most materials. It is not always obeyed but is a common principal in electronic manufacture especially in that of resistive circuits.

N is for Nanotechnology

is for Nanotechnology






Whilst nanotechnology is quite a recent area of growth it's core theories have been in development since the 80s. At a basic level it is the engineering and manipulation of functional systems at a molecular scale. This technology allows for things to be created at a much smaller scale and will be used in the future in the manufacture of PCB electronics allowing for the creation of tiny electronic devices.

M is for Motor

is for Motor






Motors are used to convert energy into more useful mechanical motion and are regularly used in engineering projects. Heat engines such as internal combustion engines burn a fuel to create heat and cause motion. DC Motors on the other hand use electricity to provide motion usually with a combination of conductors carrying a current and electro-magnetic fields.

L is for LED

is for LED




Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconducter light sources with many different uses. They have been very popular as indicator lights in electronic circuits and have found many other uses for lighting things such as TV screens. They have a very long life, use very little energy and produce very low levels of heat compared to other options. They are a popular choice for the output of a circuit when teaching electronics in schools along  with DC motors.

K is for Kilowatt

is for Kilowatt





The kilowatt is another unit of measure often found in electrical engineering. It is equal to 1000 watts and is often used to show the power that is output by things like heaters, machines, DC motors and tools.

J is for Joule

is for Joule





The Joule is a unit of energy that is equal to the energy expended applying one newton through the distance of one metre. The Joule is just one of many technical units that you will need to know before undertaking many bespoke engineering projects.

I is for Inductor

is for Inductor





An inductor is an electrical component that stores energy in its magnetic field. It was first devised by Michael Faraday who we mentioned earlier. It is similar to a capacitor which stores energy in an electrical field and a resistor which doesn't store energy but dissipates it as heat.

Inductors are mostly used in analog circuits and signal processing. They are usually constructed with a coil, usually made of copper, wrapped around a magnetic core. The vast number of types of inductors make them common components in bespoke engineering.

H is for Hybrid Vehicles

is for HYBRID VEHICLES








Hybrid vehicles combine traditional combustion engines with electric propulsion systems, most commonly DC motors. Hybrids charge their batteries by regenerative braking. The kinetic energy from the process of braking is transferred to electrical energy instead of being wasted. Some also have a electrical generator which is caused to spin by the combustion engine.

Hybrid vehicles reduce carbon emissions and fuel costs and have gained in popularity over the last few years but companies are now starting to move towards completely electric vehicles.

G is for Gears

is for Gears






Gears are rotating machine parts regularly found in mechanical engineering. Sets of gears are called transmission and their primary purpose is to transmit torque. The advantage of gears over something similar like wheels in a pulley is the grip that is created from the interlocking teeth.

Gears are available in a massive range of sizes and types and a regularly used in bespoke engineering projects.

F is for Faraday

is for FARADAY







Michael Faraday is one of the most famous scientists in history. Despite having basically no formal education in the areas he excelled in he made many discoveries and invented concepts that would shape the fields of science and technology for years to come.

One of his biggest accomplishments was the discovery and research into electromagnetism. His research and the work on it by others since is the reason why things like DC motors exist and make our life better every day.

It has been suggested that Einstein had a picture of Faraday on his study wall.
