targets for the glass industry, using a patented process.
Situated approximately 15 kilometres south of Singapore in a free-trade-zone on Batam Island, Profab has for 20 years been building a reputation as a leading producer of large-scale parts for the global oil industry. A part of National Oilwell Varco since 2015, the company manufactures everything from subsea structures, turrets and wellhead platforms to mooring systems and pressure vessels.
When an astrophysics researcher wants to explore a distant galaxy, discover the chemical composition of galaxies or find exoplanets, a simple telescope is typically no longer enough: we must add a “smart eye” to it.
Shambo Shindo, med säte i hjärtat av teknikdistriktet i norra Bangkok i Thailand, är en tillverkare av luftkonditioneringskomponenter i form av kopparrör. Företaget grundades som F&S (Thailand) Co., Ltd i september 1994, och är ett dotterbolag till Mitsubishi- Shindoh Co., Ltd som är den ledande tillverkaren av koppar- och mässingsprodukter i Japan.
Generally speaking, the city of Bremen is known for its famous Town Musicians. However, passionate engineers know that Distortion Engineering is the new brand of this Hanseatic City. The term was coined by the University of Bremen where in 2001 the special research programme 570 was created with the same name, which attracts funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG). The Bremen Institute for Metrology, Automation and Quality Science (BIMAQ) takes an active part in the programme. The Institute uses a Leitz Reference to try and find out the causes of distortion in typical automotive components. Another BIMAQ project is dedicated to wind power: it is intended that measurements of largevolume gear components provide valuable information for production optimisation.
Based at Sion in the Swiss mountains, HYDRO Exploitation SA is a service provider that specialises in the operation of electrical installations and hydroelectric facilities.
The Francis Style hydroelectric turbines, in simple terms, are driven by water falling from a great height which turns the blades of an impeller at great speed, transforming potential energy into kinetic energy. The impeller is joined to a spindle by means of an axle. The spindle turns inside a stator transforming the kinetic energy of the impeller into electricity.
Leica Absolute Trackers inspekterar konstruktionen av de gigantiska magneterna i en reaktor för kärnfusion.
Entrepreneurial acting means setting the course for new business opportunities. In industrial companies, the success of such plans stands and falls with identifying the right equipment. That’s why Basque engineering company Ingemat added a Leica Absolute Tracker AT401 to their tools.
On behalf of a customer, Dutch company HGG developed a new type of bevel cutting system which has an integrated Leica Absolute Tracker with Absolute Interferometer. The tracker continuously monitors the cutting process.
Globally, wind power generation increased more than fivefold since the year 2000. With the global trend toward limiting CO2 emissions and numerous governmental programs subsidizing or financing wind power generation, its share of global power generation is set to experience substantial growth in the foreseeable future.
The company C.M. Menegazzi was established in 1982 and is still led by its founder Umberto Menegazzi, who has been joined by sons Roberto and Luca, respectively responsible for the accounts/sales and technical areas of the business. The use of state-of-the-art design and production technologies has always been key to C.M. Menegazzi’s operations: in the early ‘80s its main business was the direct copymilling of aeronautic parts and turbine blades, as well as parts of small, medium and large moulds. Shortly afterwards, with the adoption of CAD/CAM systems, processes began to be based on mathematical models.
Four buildings covering a total surface area of 20,000 m², four assembly halls each measuring 1,200 m² sitting on a site covering 35,000 m²... The Gonzales group, founded in 1971, has forged a solid reputation through its know-how, flexibility and reactivity as well as the quality of the services it provides. A designer and manufacturer of top-quality industrial equipment for major national and international customers, the company has successfully developed its know-how and reached the very summit of technicality in its specific fields of activity which include, among others, mechanised welding; the welding of steel, stainless steel and aluminium; precision mechanics; and large-scale machining. With a wide range of activities, Gonzales is present in all the sectors of industry, such as the tyre industry, the aerospace industry, the electric and hydroelectric sectors, the railway industry, etc.
Vorarlberger Illwerke driver tio vattenkraftverk i Montafon-dalen i Österrikiska Vorarlberg och producerar värdefull toppbelastnings- och regleringsenergi. Företaget undersöker regelbundet hur effektiva deras turbiner är så att vattenkraften kan omvandlas till elektricitet så effektivt som möjligt. Basdatan för de här undersökningarna skapas med hjälp av ett Laser Tracker-system från Leica Geosystems.
In industry sectors where work pieces are large and heavy, mobility is everything for a measurement system. When accuracy and easy handling are the other functional requirements, there is no way around a portable CMM. Spanish machining company Lakber came to this conclusion and uses a high-end Leica Absolute Tracker and a Leica T-Probe.
We rely on energy for many purposes, and the fact is that natural energy resources are becoming ever scarcer. Renewable energy sources are worth investing in and supporting for the future, this is what DONAKO strives for as a manufacturer of electrical machine sub-assemblies, with world energy industry leaders among its clients. In its aim to produce perfected components and with its future-oriented outlook, DONAKO has decided to put its trust in a mobile measurement solution from Hexagon Metrology – the ROMER Absolute Arm. Thanks to this solution, improved quality of the production process has become a reality.
