Rolls Royce has taken delivery of the first AIRdeck intelligent access platforms from work at height specialist Planet Platforms.
Developed specifically for the application, the eight AIRdeck units facilitate the stringent final inspection process of the 500, 700, 800 and 900 Trent Series aviation engines at Rolls Royce's Civil Aerospace Customer Delivery Centre (CDC) in Derby, UK.
One AIRdeck system is made up of two pre-set heights (3No.) hydraulic scissor packs, platforms positioned in a parallel configuration.

Penloc ZT is a high performance threadlocker designed to work in temperatures ranging from -55C to +150C. ZT will cure to handling strength in 5 - 20 minutes dependant on temperature and will be fully functional in 45 minutes.
Putting together the compressed air jigsaw can be a puzzling experience! Sifting through the various puzzle pieces, analysing them in turn and then trying to find their place in relation to the big picture takes time and resource.
At BOGE, we now have over 99 years of knowledge, experience and engineering excellence to provide you with the winning formula! Continual research and development is invested into creating cutting edge compressed air solutions. Our free five-year warranty gift, a first of its kind in the industry, offered on all new BOGE screw compressors further underpins the BOGE quality proposition.
BABCOCK WANSON are specialists in industrial coil boilers offering a range of steam generators from 150 to 8000 Kg/h with operational pressures from 5 to 50 bar. The water volume is low and flows directly proportional to the desired steam output using a positive displacement water feed pump. In the high pressure HPVAP Series 100 bar is possible in a closed loop thermosyphon pumpless design offering very high overall plant efficiency without pressure vessels and suitable for a range of batch and variable process flow applications particularly in edible oil processing.

QinetiQ’s Zephyr High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) solar powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has achieved its longest flight to date during a set of flight trials at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
The surveillance aircraft is manned with numerous sensors and Qinetiq selected Thermoteknix’ MIRICLE® 110K high performance miniature infrared camera to collect thermal imagery. The MIRICLE® 110K video output now offers 384 x 288 resolution in NTSC and RS170 formats as well as in PAL and CCIR. This gives 44% more pixels when compared to 320 x 240 pixel cameras resulting in a wider field of view for the same focal length lens, or a smaller focal length lens to match the FOV. This leads to smaller and lighter optics and improved FOV to weight ratio, ideal for portable and UAV applications.
Click to view full size imageMIRICLE® is also available as a 640 x 480 unit and both models ship either as OEM cores/engines or as fully built sealed cameras with a choice of optics. A choice of digital and analog outputs complete the package to meet application needs. Zephyr is an ultra-lightweight electrically powered aircraft, with a wingspan of up to 16 metres but weighing less than 30 kg. The aircraft uses a combination of solar array and rechargeable batteries and, when fully developed, is expected to operate for months at a time at an altitude above 50,000 feet providing a sustained and persistent earth observation platform. Zephyr flew with MIRICLE® on board at an altitude over 50,000 feet for 18 hours, including 7 hours in the dark.

Zephyr is equipped with a Thermoteknix MIRICLE 110K 384 x 288 pixel resolution thermal imaging camera.

Thermal imaging has evolved into one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for Predictive Maintenance. By detecting anomalies often invisible to the naked eye, thermography allows corrective action to be taken before costly system failures occur.
Infrared cameras have become compact systems that look just like a normal video camera, are easy to use and generate a real-time high-resolution image. Numerous industries worldwide have discovered the advantage of incorporating infrared cameras in their Predictive Maintenance programs.

Stockholm, Sweden, October 24, 2006: This year marks 50 years since Atlas Copco made a major expansion of its compressor business and accelerated its journey towards worldwide leadership in compressed air. It is also 50 years since Atlas Copco took its current name.
In 1956, Atlas Diesel acquired compressor specialist, Arpic Engineering SA, Antwerp, Belgium. The same year, Atlas Diesel took its present-day name, Atlas Copco, an abbreviation of Compagnie Pneumatique Commerciale, thereby highlighting the company
