The Group strategy is for its companies to become the business partner of choice for all companies seeking rugged handheld solutions whether they require a simple off-the-shelf terminal or a fully customised solution.

New Renishaw contract
The terminal operates in conjunction with a range of motorised head probes, providing the user interface for probe manipulation and placement. The X-Y access keys on the terminal are used during the programming sequence to guide the probe around the component being inspected, e.g. the casting as seen in the adjoining picture.
Renishaw's Principal Buyer Andy Jones said, "We selected the terminal from Oyster, based on 'the willingness of the company to meet its requirements for customisation, keen pricing and excellent track record of delivering high quality product on schedule to us in the past".
Oyster's range of terminals are customised for many major OEMs including other such prestigious names as Siemens, BT, Strand Lighting and Domino.
Radio Terminal even more rugged
The Oyster terminal has acquired a new rugged rubber shock cover which slips over the case and makes the terminal even stronger. This is particularly useful for companies such as Strand Lighting where the terminal is consistently at risk of drop damage on the move. A further useful addition has been a strap which can go around the operators neck whilst he/she is climbing and needs both hands free.
