Stauff cone-gauges for assembly studs identify wear in good time When it comes to leak-free connectons on hydraulic tubes, precision is required and reliable assembly is a crucial aspect. The risk of excessive or insufcient assembly due to inaccurate tghtening angles is ofen pointed out in this respect. The issue of checking assembly tools is not talked about as much, but is equally important. A wear check on the assembly stud during the fnal assembly of 24° cutng ring ftngs afer 50 assembly processes, for example, is even stpulated in DIN 3859-2. To exclude incorrect assembly, Stauf recommends checking the 24° inner taper of the assembly stud with cone-gauges. This allows users to precisely determine the accurate dimension with precision and to also identfy minimal deviatons faster than during a visual check.

Chugoku launches new antifouling paint

Selektope®, the barnacle repelling actve antfouling agent widely used in commercial coatngs for ocean going vessels, has been integrated into a brand new antfouling paint for worldwide trading vessels. Ship operators are increasingly demanding antfouling paints that are both well-suited to specifc ship trading paterns and varying actvity levels, in additon to protectng against both sof and hard fouling. In order to meet the growing demand of efcient hull fouling protecton with lesser environmental impact, I-Tech’s long-term partner, CMP, has integrated Selektope® into their latest expansion of the SEAFLO NEO series.

New OpenBridge conning library in Lynx by JRC/Alphatron Marine

JRC/Alphatron Marine has recently launched their in-house developed automaton and connectng platorm Lynx for monitoring and control of all kinds of ship systems. The new Lynx OpenBridge module makes it possible for any project design engineers to freely compose multple conning pages according to the Norwegian OpenBridge design guidelines. The Lynx conning module is part of the JRC/Alphatron Marine’s sofware suite MINDS (Multfunctonal Informaton Navigaton & Docking System). The conning screen contains all standard presentatons to show the usual ships navigaton, engine and propulsion data, such as heading indicator, rudder angle indicator, rate-of-turn indicator, speed indicator, RPM and much more.
