David Crosthwaite-Eyre, Director, Cygnus Instruments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Project: DIVE instrument<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Service: Technical Moulding<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Manufacture Time: 40 days<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our Client:<\/b>\u00a0 Cygnus manufactures ultrasonic thickness gauges for use in industrial applications worldwide. \u00a0They had designed the world\u2019s first wrist-mounted thickness gauge, the Cygnus DIVE, for professional divers who assess corrosion on subsea equipment like underwater pipework for oil rigs and bridges, but they needed a very special team to produce it.<\/p>\n

Our Mission:<\/strong> To produce the Cygnus DIVE so it would be fully functional at a depth of 300m (or 984ft!) of continuous immersion in sea water, with a large colour screen but of restricted size, it also needed to house specialist technology and electrical components.<\/p>\n

BEC Solution:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Sometimes a project comes along which is as challenging as it is exciting.\u00a0 The Cygnus DIVE was just such a project and really tested the capabilities of the BEC team.\u00a0 The biggest challenge was taking into account the tooling and manufacturing constraints whilst making sure the costs didn\u2019t escalate and risk the project coming to a standstill.<\/p>\n

Our technical expertise and innovative thinking meant we could build flexibility into the tooling design<\/a>, enabling us to re-engineer and modify to suit.\u00a0 With tooling and engineering running concurrently, we could respond quickly and adapt easily to changes, saving Cygnus valuable time and money.<\/p>\n

Result:<\/strong> The Cygnus DIVE<\/a> was delivered on time, on budget and is now on the market. The project stretched us all, demonstrating the fantastic capabilities of everyone involved.\u00a0 Congratulations Cygnus on a truly innovative product!<\/p>\n
