The erection of the building included a peculiarity: the former riverbed of the Rhine had left in this area sandy soil so that the soil conditions required thorough and diligent preparations for the foundations.


Moreover, old foundations and basements were found in this area which now had to be bypassed by pile foundations and which had to be prepared for accommodating the construction of the building itself and the floor slab.


Two hundred and twenty eight large drilled piles were driven up to 17 metres deep into the soil and are now carrying the building and the new 70 cm thick floor slab which is now bearing the load of the 16 metre high storage racks. In order to ensure high turnover speeds of the forklifts in the narrow-aisle warehouse, the flatness of the floor slab had to meet exceptionally high requirements.


“This project was professionally and logistically highly demanding for us, but owing to our long- standing experience in the erection of turnkey industrial and commercial buildings as well as our competent staff, we were able to manage the project once more to the full satisfaction of our usually long-standing clients”, explains Siebel, executive director of the construction company Günther GmbH & Co. KG.


In spite of the rather adverse weather conditions during the relatively harsh winter of 2012/2013, Günther was able to meet all deadlines without delay so that we were able to move into the building in November starting up operations there.


“We are highly satisfied with the architectural planning and the realisation of this concept. In spite of running operations, the restricted space and increased traffic on the factory premises everything worked out without a hitch. We are now in a position to optimally implement our future oriented logistics visions,” says Martin Füllenbach, CEO of Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum GmbH.


Mark Gabriel, Oerlikon Vacuum Project Manager adds, “Also the cooperation and the consistent solution- oriented efforts from the construction company Güther were highly positive and characterised by a high degree of openness. We would like to thank both partners for their excellent support in the implementation of our aim of being able to move to this building in time”.


Total floor space including outdoor areas and incoming goods space is 3,900 m2 and investment in the two digit million range, warehousing area 1904 m2, functional area 1224 m2, administrative floor space 478 m2, building height up to 20 metres.

GL2048 pixel linescan camera. Tomography at 1.05 and 1.31 microns


The GL2048R and L cameras deliver the high-resolution and high-speed needed for SD-OCT, whether to minimise eye motion artefacts or to scan larger volumes with minimum patient discomfort.


Compact and slim, the GL2048 cameras feature InGaAs photodiode arrays of 2048 pixels with 210 µm height and 10 µm width.


The cameras are ideal for SD-OCT at 1.04 µm for retina diagnostics, 1.31 µm for corneal and cardiovascular imaging, or 1.55 µm for deepest imaging in non-medical OCT applications.


The GL2048L model has been shipping for a year to researchers and OEMs, and with its line rate range from 100 lps is also being used for silicon ingot photoluminescence inspection.


Sensors Unlimited to reveal two InGaAs cameras


One of the cameras is claimed to be the world’s fastest 2048 pixel linescan camera. Both devices are designed specifically for spectral-domain optical coherence


UTC Aerospace Systems / Sensors Unlimited Inc. (SUI) will demonstrate what they say is the world’s fastest 2048-pixel Linescan Camera at >145,000 A-lines per second at BIOS and Photonics West.


The SUI GL2048R camera, joins the 76,000 lps GL2048L enabling OEMs and researchers to maximise speed or minimise cost for their Spectral Domain OCT systems (SD-OCT).
