Diametric provides components for education
Diametric has manufactured a vital set of components for a product that will help children get to grips with maths and learning across the world.
The company, which produces product branding, badges and nameplates for companies in the UK and overseas, provided the essential finishing touch to the ActivTable in the form of its connector panels.
The ActivTable, an interactive table with a 46-inch HD LCD touch-sensitive display, is the brainchild of Promethean, which manufactures products and solutions for the education sector. The ActivTable enables flexible opportunities for collaboration, from small group learning to supporting special needs and whole class activities.
Promethean tasked Diametric with producing the all-important connector panels which house the speakers and sockets to connect microphones, USB devices and headphone sets.
It was a difficult challenge as the panels had to fit perfectly and comply to strict safety regulations. In addition, due to the circumstances in which the products were going to be used, it was essential that every component was safe, durable and user-friendly, to meet Promethean's requirements.
After much consultation and research Diametric created a panel that was made of several alternating layers of stainless steel and polycarbonate. This ensured the product was completely safe and also meant the panel would fit perfectly to the product.
The panel was cut using Diametric's press tools to allow space for the sockets. The speaker section was embossed, allowing it to come through the aperture in the polycarbonate but remain flush to the panel.
Diametric is meticulous about the quality testing of its products, ensuring each is durable, efficient and of the highest calibre. Once the solution was thoroughly tested and passed all safety tests, Diametric produced the first batch of just under 1,000 of the items from its manufacturing centre in the UK.
