Product Design

Bringing a dream to market.

Harrison-Croft Ltd believes "a good idea shouldn´t be wasted".
Our creative and innovative design team will bring out the best in your ideas.
Harrison-Croft has in-house design and machining facilities for mould design and production as well as pick-and-place facilities to automatically populate complex circuit boards. PCB designs can be single, two or multi layered as required.

Electronic Design and Development

New Technologies.

In today´s world it is important to keep up to date with technology. Harrison-Croft is continuously looking at new methods and technologies which allow us to produce cutting edge products. We are also in direct contact with overseas manufacturing houses which allow us to design and manufacture custom components and source existing components at advantageous rates, this allows a custom design to be economically viable.
Full electronic development process in undertaken in-house from the design to population and testing.

RF System Design

Data on the Move.

We are increasingly contracted to undertake the design of RF products, we are experts in this area providing solutions using GSM, GPRS, and various short range technologies.
From a simple remote control device, to a mobile phone with colour screen and full GPS tracking capabilities.

Embedded Software Solutions

The Brains of the Operation.

In most cases an electronic device or system has one or more microcontrollers at it´s center which manages the overall functionality, the operational requirements of the product are defined by the instructions embedded on these devices.
It is the role of our highly skilled embedded software engineers to harness the full potential of the product ensuring superior performance and smooth operation.
Although working to a customer´s specification we try to cater for any possible future requirements, this saves time and money.

Prototype Production

Realising The Concept.

In many cases the client needs to be reassured that their design remains safe and secure, we ensure this by undertaking our prototyping in-house. This avoids potential delays and provides an added level of security.

We can incorporate electronics, enclosure design, power requirements, user interface, ergonomics and aesthetics into a protype depending on the requirements.

• Form Prototypes (SLA’s)
• Functional Prototypes

Injection Mould Tool Design

Tool & Part Production.

As you may be aware, the process of producing an actual injection moulded part incurs high costs and undesirable timescales as well as high setup costs with large minimum order quantities.
We have prototyping injection moulding systems in-house that allow us to turn around small quantities of injection moulded parts from a design in as little as 24 hours at low cost.

CNC Milling

Precision Machining.

Our CNC systems are capable of producing 2D and 3D pieces from various mediums down to a resolution of 0.01mm, we are able to produce cases and parts in various materials including plastics and alloys as well as machining injection mould tool inserts as part of a design project or as an individual job.

Low Volume Manufacturing

Getting it out there.

We have dedicated in-house manufacturing facilities for both electronic and mechanical products.

Surface mounted components are populated by our full vision system pick & place machine, we also have an injection moulding machine for low volume runs of small plastic and rubberised parts.

Having manufacturing partners in the far east means that if needed we are able to manage any large scale production requirements, alternatively we are able to provide a direct channel to a suitable manufacturer.

Product Testing

Does your product meet their standards?

We are able to carry out simple manual testing using basic test equipment or design and produce custom testing devices which can perform repeated testing logging all data for in depth analysis, the data can be used in many ways, such as calculating the expected life of a product, or to establish if a product is likely to pass EMC or FCC approvals.
We often provide testing as a basis for a redesign, or consultation on a design to aid product refinement with the client.
We can provide consultation and assistance with approvals, we have developed partnerships with UK approvals companies which allows economic and rapid certification.

Cold Cathode Lighting

Lighting the Way.

We offer a custom Cold Cathode manufacturing service.
Lighting kits or individual tubes can be supplied and fitted to order, and tubes manufactured in almost any shape, size and colour. They can also be dimmable and battery powered for mobile or portable applications, we have supplied systems to illuminate interiors and shop fronts for major banks and retail outlets throughout the country.
