Here at ACM we thrive on a challenge, in fact it is part of the British spirit to enjoy the pursuit of a challenge, perhaps more so than the pursuit of cash. As a result we have made hundreds of one off products, learning from each one, so that we really look forward to your call or email with that tough system to measure.
Significantly, our one off instruments are built in cases, not slotted inside a computer. This allows us room to innovate and adapt to your requirements. Since our incorporation in 1985 we have designed and built one off's. All design, manufacturing and software is done in-house enabling us to go from concept to fully tested instrument in a very short time. Utilising our extensive library of electronic designs and software we find that most requests for a unique instrument simply need an adaptation of an existing instrument thus keeping the costs low.
Our name for these one-off's is Task Master, in the sense that the instrument is not the Jack of all Trades but the Master of One. They do not have to be computer controlled, but they can be. They can be as simple as a battery powered reference electrode buffer or as complicated as an ultrasonic nuclear reactor tube monitoring system. They do not even have to be electronic, we also design probes and cells.
Please do contact us with your ideas, we genuinely love to make new systems. On really big systems it is quite common for the customer to visit us about 3/4 of the way into the project to ensure that everything is fine, this is a good time to make software changes and incorporate new ideas. It also makes a great excuse to come and visit our lovely part of the English Lake District.
All ACM Instruments, the Task Masters included, come with a two year warranty which may, at low cost, be increased to five years for peace of mind.
If you wish to purchase a Task Master, discuss options, or perhaps request a quote please phone, email or fax

Some Examples of what we
have done before.
| |
GalvoGill 12
| |
The
GalvoGill 12 avoids the problems generated by multiplex
units when performing long term tests. Twelve Zero
Resistance Ammeters (ZRA's) constantly monitor twelve pairs
of electrodes to record the current flow with time. There
are no switching currents as in a multiplexed system. Each
pair may also have a reference electrode which is fully
buffered and recorded. |

|
| |
Parallel LPR 30
| |
The
Parallel 30 LPR comprises thirty channels, two or three
electrode. Each channel has a dedicated potentiostat and a
four range ZRA for the determination of corrosion rate using
LPR. The cells can be two or three electrode, when in three
electrode mode the software allows for the LPR test to be
performed at the rest potential. A very cost effective
multichannel corrosion tester. |

| |
Isolated 20
| |
The
Isolated 20 allows for individual pairs of working
electrodes, with reference electrode, to be used in a common
electrolyte without stray galvanic coupling between the
pairs. The galvanic couples are maintained by 20 individual
ZRA's, each galvanically isolated from the others unlike the
GalvoGill 12 in which each pair is referenced to instrument
ground (never mains ground in one of our instruments). |
