Teksid Receives Environmental Leadership Award Teksid公司荣获“环境领导力”奖


During the Cummins U.S. Supplier Conference held in Indianapolis on May 1, Cummins recognized iron casting producer Teksid Hierro de Mexico, Frontera, Mexico, with the “Environmental Leadership Award.” Tis award was given in recognition of the installation


of a new sand reclamation system to recover waste foundry silica sand through a mechanical and thermal process in its plant located in Frontera, Mexico, in the state of Coahuila, with a total investment of $7.3 million. Advantages of having such a system include a reduction


of new sand shipments from the U.S. via rail and a reduction of more than 3,000 trucks per year of waste sand from the foundry to the landfill. Teksid Hierro de Mexico was the only supplier that


received an award for Environmental Leadership. Te selec- tion committee (who was a combination of both Cum- mins’ indirect and direct purchasing leadership) valued the minimal impact on the environment and positive effect on the bottom line. Teksid produces castings for the automotive and heavy


duty industry with operations spread out in Europe, North and South America and Asia. ■


5月1日，在印第安纳波利斯州举办的康明斯美国 供应商大会上，康明斯公司将“环境领导力”奖授予 了墨西哥州佛龙特拉的铸铁件生产企业Teksid公司。 该奖项是为了表彰Teksid公司在墨西哥州佛龙特拉 工厂新安装的旧砂再生系统，该系统通过机械和热法 再生方式将废硅砂进行回用，项目总投资额达730万 美元。


该系统的优势是：一方面可以减少依靠铁路运输的 新砂需求，另一方面可减少每年3000多卡车的铸造 废砂的填埋工作。 Teksid 公司是唯一一家获得“环境领导力”奖的 供应商。评选委员会（由康明斯公司的直接和间接采 购商组成）的评选依据是——企业对环境产生最小的 负面影响以及在坚守环保底线中发挥的积极效应。 Teksid公司为汽车行业、重型设备行业提供铸件， 其业务遍布欧洲、南北美洲和亚洲。 ■


Alcoa Expands in Indiana for Advanced Jet Engine Parts Alcoa扩大印第安纳州工厂新一代喷气发动机零部件生产能力 In May, leading aerospace manufacturer Alcoa broke


ground on its $100 million aerospace expansion in La Porte, Ind., where it will produce cast nickel-based superalloy jet engine parts. Te new 320,000-sq.-ft. facility will expand Alcoa’s reach from structural engine components for busi- ness and regional jets to large commercial aircraft, including narrow- and wide-body and military airplanes. Engines for narrow-body aircraft are among the top selling jet engines in the world. “Aerospace growth is soaring and Alcoa is ramping up


our downstream capabilities to capture that demand,” said Alcoa Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld. “Applying our industry-leading expertise, this facility will deliver highly engineered parts our customers need to build some of the bestselling engines and at high volumes.” Te plant will increase Alcoa’s capacity to supply engines


for narrow-body aircraft and enable it to produce parts nearly 60% larger than components it makes today, expanding its market reach to wide-body airplanes. Construction of the plant is underway and is expected to


be complete by the fourth quarter of 2015. Te facility will use the latest in high-tech advanced manufacturing equip- ment, including digital X-ray for real-time quality assurance, 3-D printing of prototypes, blue light technology for more comprehensive dimensional inspection data, and automated casting furnaces with advanced controls to meet precise prod- uct specifications.


今年5月，航空航天工业供应商Alcoa公司开始了投资 1亿美元的新厂建设。该厂位于印第安纳州La Porte，生 产飞机的高温镍基合金发动机零部件。新厂占地32万平 方英尺，将会使Alcoa公司产品的应用范围从商业、支 线飞机用的结构发动机零部件扩展到商用大飞机，包括 窄体机、宽体机和军用飞机。该公司的窄体机发动机销 量位居世界第一。


“航空航天工业正在飞速发展，Alcoa公司也在通过 提升下游行业的生产能力，以满足市场需求。” Alcoa 公司董事长兼CEO Klaus Kleinfeld说：“借助公司的 领先技术，新厂将为我们的客户提供所需的高质量零部 件，以满足窄体机发动机的大批量需求。” 该厂将扩大Alcoa公司窄体机发动机的产能，也将具 备制造比当前尺寸增大60%的零部件的能力，以扩大宽 体机的市场。


目前，工厂的建设正在进行中，预计将于2015年第 四季度竣工。工厂将使用最新的高科技生产设备，包括 用于实时质量检测的数字X射线，3D原型打印技术，可 获得更加全面的尺寸检测数据的蓝光技术，以及可满足 产品精确规格要求的具有先进控制系统的自动浇注机。
