QMC Instruments
SAO
LHe transfer to cooled Detector at Atacama site in Chile
is based within the Physics Department of Cardiff University and develops Terahertz Instrumentation, covering a frequency range from Microwaves to the Far Infrared.

The company has cryogenic detectors and Quasi-optical systems operating in areas as diverse as atmospheric remote sensing, astronomy, semiconductor materials characterisation, Plasma fusion diagnostics and electron spin resonance spectroscopy.

Thomas Keating Toolmaking
SAO
CNC Jig Grinding of racing car parts.
whose commercial origins stretch back into the 18th Century, have been making high precision tooling - press tools, gauges and injection moulds for well over 50 years.

We aim to give a complete toolmaking service from initial design to tool tryout and maintenance support, combining traditional skills with modern management and machining techniques. The introduction of CNC Jig Grinding has widened our rage of activities and we are active in the packaging, medical component, aerospace and racing car world.
Thomas Keating Instruments
SAO
94 GHz HiPER Pulsed ESR Spectometer in St. Andrews
Draws on toolmaking skills to design and develop quasi-optical Terahertz systems and subsystems with a growing activity in High Field Electron Spin Resonance and emote sensing instrumentation, to compliment work in Plasma Fusion diagnostics and material measurement.

Our space work has included optics for the AMSU-B water vapour radiometers and their derivatives, subsystems for JAXA's BrO monitoring limbsounder, JEM SMILES, the HFI feeds for PLank CMB mission, and the multiplexer on the 94 GHz pulsed cloud radar on EarthCARE.
