Following a move to new premises, relay and timer specialist Finder has built an in-house test and development facility at its site in Stone, Staffordshire.

Following a move to new premises, relay and timer specialist Finder has built an in-house test and development facility at its site in Stone, Staffordshire The laboratory was set up because Finder plc and its Italian parent Finder SpA see future growth firmly routed in providing relay and timer users with the highest level of local in-depth technical support

The facility is expected to prove invaluable in many diverse aspects - from the routine verification of product specification to establishing the statistical distribution of a specific characteristic that might be of concern to just one particular customer.

New or unusual applications can be simulated in the laboratory, tested and proven to match the right product for the job, thereby increasing customer confidence.

Furthermore, in the unhappy event of misuse or unsuitable selection of product, the consequences can be analysed by Finder and recommendations made locally and quickly.

As would be expected from Europe's leading independent designer and manufacturer of electromechanical relays, the laboratory is equipped with a full compliment of electrical and mechanical measuring equipment.

An environmental test chamber and multi-channel data logging equipment enables the close measurement of temperatures inside a relay as it is subject to varying loads, while stereo microscopes allow Finder's staff to perform detailed visual inspection of contacts and connectors.

In addition, Finder is in the design stages of producing custom-made test equipment to provide even higher levels of analysis.
