Huxley Bertram Attend Cambridgeshire County Day #madeincambridgshire

Huxley Bertram is proud to have joined the Smart Manufacturing Alliance as part of the inaugural Cambridgeshire County Day, held at Newmarket’s July racecourse on the 23rd of June 2022.

The free event was attended by 6000 people, including 2,500 children aged between 14-17 from schools throughout the Cambridgeshire region. Huxley Bertram Engineer Emily Woodhouse showcased an experiment, developed for the Launchpad initiative.  Based on a special-purpose machine, designed and built by Huxley Bertram to test the quality of hard hats. Excitedly received by the children who attended the stand.

Huxley Bertram joined many Smart Manufacturing Alliance members from across the region, focused on sharing the diverse opportunities available within the UK manufacturing industry and highlighting the growth of bespoke automation.

Steve Hales Business Director for Huxley Bertram said: “It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate local Cambridgeshire businesses and great to engage with the school pupils from our local area, sharing the STEM opportunities available to them.”

Huxley Bertram Showcase STEM Careers with Cambridge LaunchPad

/in , , /by

Huxley Bertram proudly supports the Cambridge LaunchPad Initiative

Cambridge LaunchPad is a movement led by science and technology companies that invest their talent and resources to show that STEM is for all, and to inspire young people into STEM careers.

As an industry partner of Cambridge LaunchPad, three of Huxley Bertram’s Junior Engineers engaged with 260 Year 10 students in Cambridgeshire over two days, sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for engineering. The sessions were delivered through the format of collaborative classroom experiments and live online sessions. Providing real-world engineering examples.

Based on a Huxley Bertram design, the engineers developed an interesting classroom experiment, to mimic a test rig for shock absorption and penetration testing of safety hardhats, through a drop test from height.

Using everyday household items such as playdoh, a rolling pin, golf ball, and a ruler, students measured the drop effect from multiple heights to the playdoh billet.  The results were plotted in a graph to prove the theory that drop height influences kinetic energy and force.  The students responded enthusiastically, commenting “I like doing DT and I might do engineering now” and “I really like it because it wasn’t like doing normal physics.”

Steve Hales Business Director for Huxley Bertram said: “It has been great for Huxley Bertram to work with Form the Future.  We are immensely proud of our engineering team in both developing and delivering the Cambridge LaunchPad sessions, helping to inspire Year 10 pupils, and highlighting the career opportunities available in an engineering environment.”

Lisa Taylor, Cambridge LaunchPad Programme Manager, said: “Thank you to the Huxley Bertram team for delivering engaging content and sessions to our students, providing real-life interactive engineering examples, that will inspire future generations into STEM careers.”

In addition to supporting Cambridge LaunchPad, Huxley Bertram also welcomes applications for Year 10 work placements and student internships for 2023.

New Contactless Earing Measurement Brochure Completed

/in , , /by

Huxley Bertram have released a new brochure detailing the next generation in Earing Measurement, a Contactless Earing Measurement Machine.

Compliant to EN 1669 and ISO 11531, the CEMU diagnosis Can forming problems in seconds.  By utilizing laser technology the machine enables high speed earing measurement, analysis and results.  With the capability of measuring Cans or cups from 33mm to 100mm in diameter and 15mm to 200mm in height.

Key advantages of the Contactless Earing Measurement Unit

  • Rapid precision Earing Measurement
  • Automatic Grain Detection
  • Cup size flexibility
  • Advanced Earing analysis software

In addition to the base CEMU, the unit can be fitted with wall thickness measurement and back end/lid scan functionality.  By measuring wall thickness, you can identify punch issues during the can drawing process, lubricant application issues or tool wear issues. 3D polar visualisation of the back end of the can or lids allows measurement of curl height, overall height, curl radius, panel depth, inner diameter, out diameter, curl opening and countersink depth.
