Company Description
LCM Systems are world leaders in the manufacture of load cells, sensor, and instrumentation materials for sub sea industries. Founded, in 1984, LCM Systems' original motivation was to provide precision load cells to yachting services around the world. Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength. It has evolved and developed to offer a full product range of new products and techniques designed to suit all requirements of various industries which include various load cells, transmitters, transducers, amplifiers, telemetry systems and more. LCM Systems specialises in manufacturing and supplying products for harsh environments and full submersion. Its highly trained and experienced team design and build all products from its offices based in Newport on the Isle of Wight. Here, LCM Systems hosts a range of state of the art facilities including an in house machine shop for turning, milling, boring, honing and welding, a strain gauge laboratory, an external water pressure test to 1000psi, an in house pressure calibration facility to 4000bar, and CAD design systems. LCM Systems' range of facilities offers endless output options and capabilities such as electronic circuit design and testing, load cell hire, prototype manufacture, strain gauge down-the-hole techniques and more. LCM Systems prides itself on its unrivalled customer service and technical support. For further details, contact LCM Systems or visit their website for a wealth of product information.
