“The customer comes to us with a specification. We have a concept, how we perceive the machine to be. As time goes by, it evolves mechanically. The control hardware engineers then design the circuits controlling the electrics, pneumatics and hydraulics. On the back of that, the software engineer then adds their ‘leaves to the branches’ to bring the machine to life and before you know it
you’ve got the ‘tree’. But it generally all starts with a blank piece of paper. “That is true of every machine we do.” The end result of this is satisfaction for the end user, the manufacturer and for Pirtek as integrator of the hydraulic element. “When this machine was first assembled and powered up, it literally just went click, click, click… just as it should,”
says Mark. “So you think – I’ve just sweated over that for three months and when we turned it on there’s no drama. “Actually, I like anticlimaxes. When you’re dealing with nine tonnes of pressure on intricate tooling, I’ll take an anticlimax any day!” Lee concludes, “When you get the callback, you know your last job must have been good.”
