| In 1994 Timothy Birt founded TEB
Technology as a business start-up. Initially the business built specialist
automotive control products (for example dynamo regulators); over time,
the business increased and diversified into a wider product range. Many of
our current products are built in modest quantities and tailored to solve
particular customer needs. In 2002 the company was renamed NanoControls,
which more accurately represented what we do now.
 We had to include this
because he really does look his caricature...
Timothy has been involved with analogue & digital electronics
including micro-processors for over 20 years. He studied production
Engineering at Brunel University (West London) and then went to work
with a small company specialising in the repair of electric motors. His
significant development work including the design and construction of
numerous pieces of test equipment enabled the company to handle more
specialist items such as 'Brushless DC' and servo motors as well as
branching out into other electro-mechanical devices.
We are situated in mid-Norfolk, see map. As well as
the design office we have a small production facility; this is supported
with a network of local companies to help with such things as PCB
production and product distribution.
NanoControls works in three distinct, but related, fields:
- Design and production of control devices and instrumentation,
primarily using automotive system voltages, examples include:
- Automotive dynamo regulator
- Power limiters (motor soft starter and voltage stabilisers)
- Battery monitoring and other parameter measuring such as
magnetic field strength
- NanoControls can produce some very cost effective dedicated test
equipment to control and test small electronic and electromechanical
devices, examples include:
- Miniature printer mechanism (point of sale)
- Brushless DC motor drives
- Dedicated PCB test equipment, allowing less skilled workers to
repair complex boards.
- Following the construction of many pieces of test equipment over the
years, we have developed a series of "nano-computer" modules
and a proprietary control language. We use these to aid the
development of our test equipment.
- We are in the process of documenting and preparing a new module
which will be available in its own right.
