Company Description

We were established in 1987 as a manufacturer and distributor of production equipment and light industrial tools to the electronics and associated industries. Our aim is to offer the best possible combination of quality and price. We are pleased to work with our new international distributors in Australia, Indonesia and the Middle East.

We manufacture our own products and we are also sole UK distributors for many widely respected equipment manufacturers. Our key products include HOTweezers thermal wire strippers, Sumake electric and air screwdrivers, and Wisdom automatic cut and strip machines.

In addition to our new products range, we also sell good condition, refurbished ''Second User'' equipment, most with 3 to 6 month warranties. We buy quality used equipment.

We provide comprehensive maintenance and repair service for our own products as well as for many other manufacturers’ products.

We offer hire equipment by the week, month or year, with rates starting as low as £30 per week.

In addition to equipment, we sell production aids including transformer bobbins and cores, solder pots, tape, thermal fuses, winding and lamination machines and ALTIC tensioners.

Our new Demonstration Room in Totton is open every day and we invite our customers to pay us a visit.



HOTweez ers

HOTweezers are state-of-the-art thermal wire strippers. The lightweight hand unit has a shape similar to that of a pair of cut-off tweezers and fits comfortablyin the hand. The unit has a natural, smooth stripping action which results in increased output & reduced operator fatigue.

The main feature of the HOTweezers is the complete encapsulation of the heater filaments inside the stripping head. The location of the filaments reduces maintenance and prevents loss of heat, which lowers power consumption and allows the use of a smaller power supply.

HOTweezers can be used on low temperature materials such as Polyethylene, Nylon and PVC without sticking, as well as on high-temperature insulations like PTFE Tefzel, Teflon, and silicone rubber with no charring.



External Brush Electric Screwdrivers DC Forward/Reverse Full Auto Shut-Off

This new range of electric screwdrivers from Sumake features a high performance DC motor with a high-quality extra strong magnet. Screwdrivers in this range are highly stable with precise torque control. The grip is cushioned to ensure operator comfort and manoeuvrability.





The
power supply for these low voltage, auto shut-off screwdrivers has a
high/low speed switch and is designed for durability and long life, with
externally replaceable brushes for easy maintenance.

SERIES 4 Machine Shop

Our precision machine shop has been in operation for over 8 years. We can manufacture components from samples and we can machine obsolete or hard-to-find pieces.

Our capabilities include plastics, aluminium, stainless steel, grinding, boring & keyway service, CNC & manual milling, turning, and fitting & build facility.

We have broaching machinery, a surface grinder, an 8-tool change station CNC lathe, a CNC milling machine, three manual milling machines and three manual lathes.

We are happy to undertake projects of any size, from one-off small jobs to large batch runs. We guarantee fast, high quality, friendly and reliable service.



CCB3000 - Motorised Pre-Feeder NEW - Electric Floor Mounted Pre-Feeder

We designed the CCB3000 at our factory in Southampton, and we are confident that it will be one of the most economical pre-feeders available in the UK. It features simple wire loading and the ability to run in either direction. It can dispense wire to demand, making it ideal for operation in tandem with other wire processing machinery.

Consumable costs are low on the CCB3000. It is belt fed, making maintenance easy. Changing the drive belt is a quick operation and only requires two Allen keys, both of which are provided with the unit.

Coiling Measuring

The Series 4 1420 Measuring Meter wire and cable measuring device can be bench or floor mounted. Models for metric or imperial measures are available. The low friction, positive control guiding components ensure that measurement accuracy is maintained.

We offer variable diameter coilers and spool winders that can be used with the 1420 Measuring Meter. They can be used as dereelers or re-reelers as well as winders. Our collapsible fixed diameter cable coilers also work with the 1420 Measuring Meter.

As well as coilers and winders, we have the Series 4 Model 370 Free Running Cable Dispenser and Model 284 Wind Off Reel Stand. These use friction discs to prevent tangles and overruns.



Crimping Equipment

We offer hand crimp tools for manual operation as well as battery-operated models. Our hand crimps can be used with our crimp tool aids to reduce operator fatigue and RSI risk. The Crimp Cradle force reduction tool provides a mechanical advantage of approximately 10 to 1 over hand usage. The Crimp table ergonomic foot-pedal operated crimping aid offers fast, safe hands free crimping.

We also supply electric crimping machines capable of crimping a wide variety of connectors, and stripper/crimpers that strip PVC insulated cables and crimp insulated end sleeves. In addition we offer our AC range of pneumatic bench mounted budget bootlace ferrule crimpers with an optional magnetic tool holder that converts them to hands free use.



Strain Testing Equipment

We offer a wide range of strain testing equipment, such as the DPT manual load cell digital pull tester for testing cables and crimps. We also have a selection of digital torque meters for testing electronic screwdrivers and torque wrenches, and a torque cap tester to test bottle and jar caps.

Our SH series Digital Push Pull Force Gauges are suitable for wide variety of testing situations including tension/compression force, switch testing, connector insertion/withdrawal and fracture testing. A large capacity model is available with testing capacity to 1000KN. We also offer test
stands designed to be used with the SH series. These include manual and motorised test stands and offer horizontal or vertical orientations.
