Prototypes
Mechanical prototypes for industrial designers,
instruments for university science researchers, and mechanisms
with electric motors or pneumatic controls guided by programmable
automata or by computer systems.
Prototypes for new explanatory, interactive
and hand-operated models are made either from specifications
and drawings or according to the client's requirements.

Individual pieces and series are built and
checked to the asked-for tolerances. In the field of scientific
experiment, we have made optical measuring micrometers, Fizeau
interferometers to check flat surfaces, a Ronchi apparatus to
verify optical systems for the Universidad Politécnica
de Cataluña (UPC), a measuring microscope for a Vickers
durometer for the Universidad de Barcelona (UB), and we are
currently working on the construction of a gravimetric pendulum.
