Research & Development

Rockfort Engineering can undertake a wide range of R&D programs.  We start by discussing the project with you to determine whether we have the relevant skills and understanding.   Once a project is agreed we carry out projects ensuring a ‘no stone left unturned’ approach with a great level technical depth where required.    Working with you, we will analyse the problem or product, identify key areas for development and compile a plan and program which we will then execute.   Typical R&D tasks include:

• Design test and instrumentation requirements.
• Conduct structured test programs to focus on required areas.
• Analyse test results and data.
• Implement design changes retest.
• Deliver interim and detailed end of program reports.

Examples of projects we can undertake or support:

• Electric motor development.
• Inverter control and optimisation.
• Control algorithm and software development.
• Mechanical and hydraulic systems control.
• System calibration and validation.
• Cooling system.
• Hydraulics design and control.
