The business is housed in a modern, purpose built factory unit. The building is situated on a small industrial complex on the west side of Nottingham adjacent to the ring road and approximately half a mile north of the University of Nottingham, with easy access to the M1 motorway junctions 24, 25 & 26.

Products & Services

Engineering Systems designs mechanical, electromechanical & electronic instruments and equipment and specialises in the design, development and manufacture of small mechanical strength testing machines that are used in a variety of organisations ranging from the Pharmaceutical industry, to research establishments such as the National Physical Laboratory, to the oil and automotive industry.

Our mechanical workshop facilites include CNC machining centres & lathes, whilst our electronics workshop has facilities for analogue & digital design, prototyping and manufacture, including embedded firmware & software development.

With the aid of a Department of Trade and Industry Smart award, a range of Desktop Mechanical Strength Testing machines was designed and manufactured by Engineering Systems.

Assisted by a Regional Enterprise Grant and in conjunction with Oxford University Department of Materials, the CK10, a sophisticated 1 Tonne compression & crack testing machine, was developed. This is used for testing the strength of engineering & medical ceramic components.

A new tablet hardness and compression testing machine, the C53, was designed under a KTP programme in partnership with Staffordshire University. This replaced our previous C50 model.

The load cells (ranging from 1gm to 1tonne) used in all our testing machines are designed & manufactured by Engineering Systems.

Subcontract work includes the design and manufacture of asphalt core testing machines, gyratory compactor compression testing machines and similar equipment used in road research labs and by contractors.
