A customer was in a pinch and needed their race car scale calibrated after some repairs were done to prepare for the next race. We were the only one locally able to respond to the call in a timely manner so we got the business. The customer is racing the NTT Indy Car series which is among the highest levels of racing. Very cool to see what some scales are used for out there in the world. Good luck at Road America this weekend Dale Coyne Racing!
Some problems require custom solutions. One of our customers has a fleet of intrinsically safe instrumentation all of which use rechargeable batteries. Intrinsically safe batteries come equipped with an intrinsically safe barrier which limits the electrical current to a level unable to create a spark. This type of equipment is necessary in places that deal with flammable materials and this level of safety earns the name "explosion proof" We designed and built a custom tester for both the charger and battery so the customer can easily do some troubleshooting on their own. When you have 50+ batteries and dozens of charging stations it can become a handful to make sure everything is functioning properly. Now they just have to hook up a battery or charger to the tester and a green light will illuminate if it tests "good."
