DavyMarkham - University academic and research collaboration
DavyMarkham has a number of projects that have, or are being carried out in collaboration with four local universities in Sheffield, Huddersfield and Leeds.
Sheffield University carried out a detailed energy analysis of the company’s operations and buildings fabric (Sabre initiative). This identified where savings could be made and indicated the likely pay-back times where investment is needed to achieve the potential savings.
A postgraduate student in Occupational Psychology from University of Sheffield undertook a consultancy project for their dissertation which reviewed the effectiveness of communication of policies and procedures. The recommendations made to the company have been successfully implemented.
The marketing team are currently working with Sheffield Business School on a couple of consultancy projects conducting market research into new market areas.
For the 2010/11 period the company has taken on three Sheffield Business School undergraduate Business and Marketing students who are doing their year out in industry. In addition a further Sheffield Hallam University undergraduate Mechanical Engineering student will be joining the Engineering Design department for their work placement.
An undergraduate from Leeds University based his final year dissertation on developing a data capture system – visit our news section to learn more.
Huddersfield University are working with DavyMarkham to develop and implement an advanced Volumetric Compensation Software System that will be interfaced with our large milling machines to achieve positional accuracies that are not possible even with new large milling machines, the goal is to achieve accuracies within 17 microns over the machines entire XYZ working volume. We plan to go live with this exciting new technology in 2010.
Sorby Nano has worked with DavyMarkham on the investigation into the machining of special metals (Super Duplex Stainless Steels) this included a report on composition, material mechanical properties and typical duplex microstructures, which are identified as having a significant effect on the machine capability, with the aim to help in the selection of suitable tooling and application methods to improve productivity and reduce machining costs.
