Made in Britain: What it means to us

19/11/2020

 
As part of the MiB application and renewal process a manufacturer must demonstrate that the majority of their product is manufactured in the UK and we thought it would be useful to share some of those details here. Supporting and promoting British manufacturing is something TS-Space Systems has held as a core value since the company was started over 35 years ago. As you will see from the mark displayed on our site and our products, we are members of the 'Made in Britain' group (MiB) which is is a protected, collective mark exclusively for the British manufacturing community. 

​Our work at TS-Space Systems can be broadly divided into two categories; manufacturing of world leading, close match solar simulators for photovoltaic testing and the operation of our various thermal vacuum test chambers and services. Across both of these activities we prioritise using UK companies and products wherever possible.

The major, integral components of our solar simulators (enclosures, HMI lamp power supplies, custom optical filters and optical components) are all manufactured by UK companies in the UK. We design our power distribution and electonric  control systems in-house which are then wired by a UK company (in the UK). The simulators themselves are designed, built and tested by us in the UK and we have supplied companies and laboratories across the world.
For our in-house test chambers and facilities we design our own thermal control systems, thermal interface plates and shrouds. The manufacturing and finishing (plating, anodising etc.) of these parts is outsourced to UK machinists and engineering companies. Heating elements and cooling systems are all sourced from UK companies who manufacture in the UK. Final assembly and testing of the systems is, of course, conducted by ourselves.

As you can tell, we are serious about supporting UK manufacturing and working with UK companies for every aspect of our business and we are constantly looking to expand our contacts in this regard. If you are a UK manufacturer and you think your products could be of interest to us, please feel free to get in touch with us and let us know.

Open During Lockdown #2

3/11/2020

 
We wanted to make a very short announcement to let our customers know we will be open as usual during the upcoming UK lockdown, planed to begin 5th November.

Due to our size we are able to work in relative isolation and within the government guidelines. As always, please feel free to 
contact us via email, phone or social media.
