Cooper Technology
About

Established in 1990, Cooper Technology is a British company and one of the world leaders in the design and manufacture of high performance testing equipment for asphalt, bitumen, concrete, cement, soil and aggregates used in civil engineering.

The Nottingham Asphalt Tester (NAT), designed in the 1980’s by their founder Keith Cooper whilst working at the University of Nottingham, was the first of its type. Since then their product range has increased steadily and now includes Gyratory Compactors and Roller Compactors to prepare and compact specimens in addition to Servo Hydraulic and Servo Pneumatic Universal Testers, Triaxial Testers, Fatigue Systems and Wheel Trackers to perform standards.

Global supplier that is local enough to care

As a customer focused business, they listen. The Cooper Technology approach is to first establish customer requirements and then to offer best advice on the options available in order that customers can make informed decisions. They pride themselves on working in partnership with customers rather than just “order taking”.

Their consultative approach ensures that the application is fully understood before an order is accepted, thus ensuring the equipment ordered is fit for purpose and will deliver the expected results and reliably day after day and year after year.

Design, develop, automate and test

Cooper Technology is much more than a manufacturer: all their machines are fully designed and developed by their dedicated in-house design team, all their engineers are degree educated in their relevant fields, and every engineering discipline is covered.

Mechanical design

Via the use of 3D CAD packages they ensure their business is best positioned to utilise the most state-of-the-art geometrical modeling systems available. These systems further permit calculating customer specific solutions within the shortest possible time.

Electrical / electronic design

The team works according to the very latest norms in system technology. Their customers expect electronic products that have better quality, more flexibility and new features at a competitive price. To remain at the forefront of today’s market demands, they equip their design engineers with systems that deliver flexibility, high performance and reliability.

Software design

NI LabVIEW is their chosen solution: their highly trained professional users develop using this language. NI LabVIEW is a graphical development environment that combines the ease of use of configuration-based tools with the flexibility of a powerful programming language. It enables the programmer to quickly create user interfaces as well as perform advanced control, signal processing and analysis, communication and logging.

Hydraulic / pneumatic

Cooper engineers team up with global industry specialists to deliver a system that utilises the best possible solutions on the market today. Their servo Hydraulic/Pneumatic solutions have delivered reliably over the last 28 years, whilst being consistently refreshed in order to ensure the perfect interface with mechatronic solutions.

Academic links

Their heritage is one of close links with the pavement engineering department of Nottingham University. This department, now known as Nottingham Transportation Engineering Centre (NTEC), has global recognition and is considered as being at the forefront of pavement research. Their longstanding relationship with Nottingham is today as strong as ever. The current KTP (Knowledge Transfer Partnership) establishes their position at the cutting edge of unbound materials technology.

Standard committees

Their expertise often plays a critical part in the development of new, and existing test standards. They are at the forefront of standard development, working closely with key decision makers worldwide and harnessing links with new related industries ensuring that practical solutions to everyday problems are achieved.
