HERMES - BELT FRICTION TEST BENCH

Bench for testing the resistance of belts to abrasion and fatigue (HERMES) with the need to be able to operate in an oven, in order to customise the temperature and humidity cycles.

SAFRAN SNECMA - CRUCIBLE TILTING TEST BENCH

Design and production of a test bench used to simulate the movement of a crucible during the flow of the cast iron in a mould. On this model, a small-scale translucent mould and a high-speed camera make it possible to visualise whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. The automation has been designed to be able to program different speed cycles and thus optimise the flow in production.

AIRBUS DEFENSE & SPACE - LASER TRACING AND DRAPING UNIT

Design and production of a tool for draping tubes and cylindroconical structures. Tracing lasers are used to assist the operators in the installation phases. The manufacturing recipe generated directly in an EXCEL application is then transferred to a programmable logic controller as one would do in a digital control in order to position the axes.

MONTUPET - MOTORISED WAGON FOR INTER-FACTORY PARTS TRANSFER

Design and production of a motorized handling system allowing the transfer of foundry parts between 3 sites linked by 400 m of railway. The special feature of this project is the use of a large reel integrating the power supply and a safety network.

RATP - POST-PROCESSOR SOFTWARE

Development of a post-processor software for processing CATIA files to ISO code
Automatic generation of 70 part programs from a 3D design
CNC machine NUM 1060
Integration of existing part programs on the machine
Integration of an algorithm for choosing the most suitable tool, and of parameter tables for system scalability

AIRLIQUIDE - AUTOMATIC TEST BENCH - CRYOGENIC CABINETS

Development of a PC interface to communicate with a PLC for the control of cryogenic cabinets.

Flexible 'recipe' methodology to adapt tests from the PC, without programming.

EDF - RETROFITTING OF A MOBILE MILLING MACHINE

Replacement of the NUM 760 control system with a SIEMENS 802 D digital control system

Mechanical refurbishment. Repainting

DISC FILTER UNITS

Electrical studies & wiring of high power control cabinets.
PLC program and supervision for synchronous filter management.

BOMBARDIER - TRAIN DOOR OPENING TEST BENCH

Design and production of a portable test bench for testing the closing forces of train doors.
A digitised and instrumented beam simulates the door opening cycle and records the force curves.

FRACOMA – SNCF TECHNOCENTRE EST - TGV AND ICE FILLING MODULES

These modules enable the filling of TGV and ICE tanks with drinking water. The new legislation requires that water should not be left in the circuits for more than 12 continuous hours. An automatic AD HOC system ensures the automatic purging of the filling circuit. The docks are equipped with an average of 6 modules 40 metres apart.

AIR LIQUIDE - OPPS (OVER PRESSURE PROTECTION SYSTEM)

Design and worldwide deployment of an on-board safety system to ensure secure shutdown in case of overfilling during liquefied gas unloading phases.
The unloading from the tanker to the storage is done at cryogenic temperatures (~-158°C).
The qualification of the product has been validated in a laboratory under extreme constraints (-40/+60°C - IP65 - impact and vibration resistance).

SNECMA - SAFRAN - BEAD-BLASTING MARKING UNIT

Design and production of a bead-blasting marking unit. The whole unit has been integrated into a soundproof box and equipped with the appropriate safety devices.

CSTB - FATIGUE TEST BENCH FOR BUILDING SEALS

This test bench consists of two orthogonal digitised tables allowing a force of 30KN to be applied to elastomer seals. The cycle duration is 48 hours.

SNCF TECHNOCENTRE EST - FIRE EXTINGUISHER TEST AND REPAIR BENCH

This test bench is used for the systematic inspection of fire extinguishers installed in TGV trains. Pneumatic rotary vane pumps allow the automated emptying and filling of a water-glycol mixture. To the right is a washing and drying station.

MONNAIE DE PARIS - COPYING MACHINE

This equipment is used to make the hallmarks that are used in the process of 'minting' coins or medals.
Based on the pantograph principle, high-precision servo-controls ensure engraving with or without punch curvature.

EDF - RETROFITTING OF A MILLING RAM

Replacement of the NUM 720 control system with a NUM 1040 digital control system.

EDF - DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING - TURBINE REWORKING MACHINE
