wash and paint processes. The platform can be equipped with multiple connection points for process air to run paint systems, breathing air or auxiliary tools and a fluid connection for wash-down equipment. The platform features an interlock- ing safety harness system which requires the operator to have harnesses attached to the D-ring in the platform for the lift to operate. Contact bumpers shut down lift operation if contact is made with the product and a pendant control box can be moved about the platform. LPI Inc.

Demag Cranes Employed Siemens Gas Turbine Technology will employ Demag cranes at its new location near St. Petersburg for the manufacture and service of gas turbines above 60 MW. The company has awarded the contract to Terex Material Handling for the deliv- ery and installation of seven process cranes and four universal cranes, some of which are equipped for tan- dem operation. On a property measuring 25,000 m² in size, production facilities
are being developed in which Demag crane installations will support all steps of the production, shipping and maintenance of gas turbines. State-of-the-art gas turbines will be produced for the growing market of Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). It is planned to finish construction of the new plant and start gas turbine production in the Len- ingrad Region close to St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, at the end of 2014.

Aerospace ECS Ducting
An alternative process for manufacturing a composite and metallic environmental control system for a rotary-wing aircraft was found by using rotational molding and proprietary flight- certified nylon 12 polymer (RMB 437). RMB 437’s high resis- tance to impact, heat, brittleness, deterioration and chemicals has made it the preferred material for aircraft ducting. RMB 437 nylon 2 is highly resistant to impact, flame-retardant

(meets FAR 25.853 and FAR 29.853 12- and 60-second vertical burn requirements) and has a proven track record in the aerospace industry. The complete ECS duct system was estimated to yield $2 million in savings annually and provide ROI in less than two months. RMB Products Inc. Ph: 719-382-9300 Web site:

Sealant Application System Modern aircraft use empty areas within the aircraft struc- ture to store fuel; fasteners and joints within these “wet areas” must be sealed with fuel-resistant sealant to prevent leak paths. The Intelligent Seal- ant Application System (ISAS) uses custom preformed molds to apply sealant to these areas
in exactly the right amount and placement every time—saving time, weight, and cost while delivering a higher quality seal. The system will be demonstrated at the AeroDef event. SMRC

Rotor Blade Cart
The ONExia Rotor Blade Cart is a novel docking system that utilizes a helicopter rotor blade’s center of gravity, effectively securing the blade for easy rotation and transport. The system allows for common logisti- cal issues and operator fatigue to be simultaneously eliminated. By using the blade’s center of gravity, the cart’s balanced, silicone-free design provides effortless rotation without
the need for tools, air, or power. It’s removable top and bottom assembly simplifies loading by hand or overhead. Available in 180˚ or 360˚ rotation, and High Temp (280˚ F/138˚ C) or Standard Temp (180˚ F/82˚ C) versions. ONExia Inc.
