Crystallographic Apparatus, Cambridge UK - Crystal Structures Ltd
A unique problem solving firm, based near Cambridge, UK, Crystal Structures Limited
has for over 60 years been concerned with the automation of manufacturing processes.
Our work mainly involves the inspection of single crystals, pharmaceutical and
general engineering products, through our own crystallographic apparatus. As
proof of this, we developed our first single crystal camera in 1947. A sound
knowledge of physics, chemistry, electronics, pneumatics, computing, instrument
and general engineering, complements a specialisation in crystallography. Over
650 crystal structure models and a range of crystallographic apparatus for the
study and teaching of crystallography and inspection of crystals by X-rays,
has been produced. Problems presented by customers are usually solved with a
combination of standard parts and some bespoke metalwork, but where necessary
invention, R and D, and computers are used to solve customers' more demanding
requirements. A drawing office with computer aided design, in-house process
camera and other photographic facilities supports a well equipped instrument
- and watch-making workshop with equipment for programmed CNC-milling, gear-cutting,
grinding, plastic moulding and die-making, sheet metal working, welding, pattern
making and metal-casting, (including shell moulding), X-ray inspection, electroplating
and stove-enamelling. Electronic and printed circuit design, fabrication and
assembly are also catered for. Besides offering crystallographic apparatus,
another area of ours involves the construction of crystal and molecular models.
Whether you are using are crystallographic apparatus for educational or industrial
experience, you will be offered our expertise and excellent customer service which comes with over 60 years experience within the field. Based on the outskirts of Cambridge, we are perfectly placed for most parts of the UK. Cambridge UK,
