The firm TeLC
was founded in 1976 by Dipl.-Ing. Albert Kutschelis and named TLC
(Technische Lehrmittel
Construktion). TLC
designs and manufactures test-stands, demonstrators and measuring-equipment
as well as models and simulators for a wide range of technical training.
Customers are training centers, engineering educational institutes for
vocational education, undergraduate teaching and graduate research. In
1984 TLC has taken over the firm
HOGRA, a well introduced manufacturer of training equipment in the automotive
sector and representative of Plint, Gilkes and Hilton. The signature HOGRA
is added to TLC. Since 1988 all the
products of TLC & HOGRA are optionally
equipped with PC-based data acquisition and control systems. An own department
for data acquisition was founded. Own controlling systems and own software
have been developed. In 1995 the more important becoming influence of
electronic components is incorporated in the enterprise logo which is
now TeLC (Technical
eLectronic Constructions).
The former meaning of TLC is still
surviving. Since 1998 the enterprise TeLC
is represented in the Internet with its domain telc.de. The following
table contains a list of subjects in which
TeLC has long years experiences:
