Gripper fingers have been re-designed. Speeds have tentatively increased, in fact a […]
A ground breaking first for Hall and Botterill. Our newly installed and carefully programmed robot becomes part of the manufacturing process for the first time.

What We Have Forgotten About Victorian Gutters and Drain Pipes Traditional Victorians? Victorians were not traditional at all, they were masters of innovation and engineering limited only by the materials available to them. What they had, they adapted and used with inventive flair. They took old skills and evolved them in to new skills with […]
