Our Design Resources
We continually invest in Design Technology and testing apparatus to remain at the forefront of Contactor Design. We have:
- Design Centres established in the UK and Germany to develop and test new contactors and products including battery management systems.
- CAD system, rapid prototyping and Laboratory testing enabling us to provide 3 dimensional data and physical samples for easy visualisation and assessment.
- Laboratory facilities situated in the UK and China which feature an extended voltage testing area and testing capability for UL and UL witness testing.
Variety
We have an extensive range of established products which we are continually enhancing whilst developing new innovative products to add to our portfolio. Thus, providing greater choice and options to meet your requirements. We offer in excess of 100 types of contactors and emergency disconnect switches suitable for vast array of applications such as forklift trucks, AGVs and bow thrusters and industries such as Materials Handling, Telecom and Marine.
Bespoke Designs
As a result of our immense experience and expertise in design we can offer custom made designs to develop unique solutions for a particular application or conditions. Our bespoke service can range from variations of existing components or products to new parts or complete contactors. Working with your specifications we can provide prototypes and perform testing by our in-house laboratory to assure you of an optimised solution to meet your requirements.
Manufacture
To Build Right First time
Our Manufacturing facilities operate globally to identical Albright processes and standards to ensure the high quality and reliable performance of our contactors. Each of our factories are run by trained teams whose expertise and competence results in reliable deliveries of products manufactured to the highest standards. Furthermore, to support our innovative approach and remain at the forefront of contactor technology, Albright has developed progressive production techniques and introduced advanced manufacturing systems to our manufacturing sites in England, China and Lithuania.
Advanced Manufacturing
Our facilities employ the latest technologies to ensure a reliable, high quality product each and every time:
- Use of CNC machines
- Vision Inspection System has been introduced to semi-automatic assembly lines – capability to check many external elements of a completed contactor within seconds.
- Auto test facilities include an in-house designed electrical system to deliver full diagnostics of a contactor under test conditions.
- Designed and manufactured in-house our own induction brazing system.
Building for the Future
Our continued investment in manufacturing assists us in our drive to build right first time and deliver a repeatable process to our customers which ultimately ensures that Albright continue to deliver high quality, reliable and innovative contactors.
