READY MADE PRODUCTSA number of specialist products have been fully developed, field tested and released for limited production, before immediately proving so popular that they are now offered as stock items. See some of them below: Portable X-ray Machine StandThis mobile three-wheeled trolley allows veterinarians to X-ray horse legs at their client's premises without having to hold the X-ray machine or balance it on a milk crate. The product was developed after a vet sustained a severe back injury bending over to lift their machine. Other vets have been known to hold the X-ray machine between their thighs while taking the radiograph, which, amongst other things, violates OH&S regulations. Balancing the machine on a milk crate means that it has to be constantly lifted on and off, and is not easily adjustable in height. This innovative stand allows vertical positioning with no minimum height step, and also allows the machine to be tilted anywhere from horizontal to vertical, while being wheeled around to meet the horse. There was and still is no competing product on the market, and so Quick Thinking was asked to custom design and build it. Hoof X-Ray BoxThis is a simple wooden box that is used to hold an X-ray cassette horizontally, underneath a horse's hoof, in order to take a radiograph through it. It allows the cassette to be inserted and removed while the horse is standing on the box, avoiding the need to continually disturb and reposition the horse to take a set of shots. This speeds up the process while still protecting the X-ray cassette. Self Levelling PlatformSome machines such as scanners and copiers do not function well if not on a level bench. This platform was designed to allow the use of office or laboratory equipment in the back of mobile vans without the need to continually ensure that the machine is level when parked on a sloping driveway. The platform uses two electrical actuators to level the table on which the equipment sits. The impressive accuracy of better than 0.05 degrees is achieved by the use of specially designed purpose built electronic inclinometers, which also keep the cost of the installation down. The machine self levels without operator intervention within a few seconds. Anti-Shock and Vibration MountingThe use of office or laboratory equipment in mobile applications can only be done with the use of anti-shock and vibration mounts. Although anti-vibration mounting rubbers are available for the feet of rotating machinery, such as motors, these are not suitable in this application as they pass excessive low frequency shock through to the equipment being protected, and suffer, as most mountings do, from resonance at particular frequencies. In order to preserve the warranty and minimise the cost of
maintenance on a client's expensive machine, Quick Thinking
developed a custom made anti-shock mounting. The mounting is fitted
to the Quick Thinking self levelling platform, to provide a
total solution for the use of laboratory equipment in a mobile
application. |
