Electromechanical Test Rigs, Jigs & Special Purpose Machinery

see our latest project!

From Specification to First Run

Vale Machinery Design designs and builds for manufacturers and R&D teams, from specification to working hardware. Most rig designers stop at the structure and hand the moving parts to someone else. We do both: the mechanical design, and the motors, drives, actuators, sensors and control that make it work. You get one accountable point of contact from first idea to first run.

Drawing inspiration from the Toyota Production System and Kaizen, solid planning, strong customer relationships and continuous improvement are valued equally alongside great solutions.

WHAT WE DO

We work with manufacturers, R&D teams and software companies across the UK, acting as a single point of contact for the following:

  • Electromechanical design and build: mechanism, motors, drives, sensors and control as one system

  • Hardware for software and controls companies: the physical system your code drives

  • Test rig design and build

  • Jigs and fixtures for assembly, test and inspection

  • Motor, drive and actuator selection and sizing

  • Sensors, instrumentation and data acquisition

  • Mechanical engineering design with a documented design report

  • Technical drawings to BS8888

  • Prototyping with access to machining, fabrication and additive processes

  • Special Purpose Machinery

“Fin was fantastic throughout the entire process. I’d happily use his services again. Fin embodies the qualities I look for in a business partner, Vision, communication, and reliability.”

Sam Feldman

We have been working with Vale Machinery Design for a number of months now, to develop some mechanical automation for one of our processes.

The great communication and quick deliverables have left us with a fantastic basis to move forward
