MHI Develop Double Column Machining Center
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has completed the development and begun full-scale marketing of a double column machining center - dubbed the "LH250" - capable of high-precision machining of workpieces up to 2 meters in length. The new unit not only offers significantly enhanced vibration absorption capability in the machine structure and greater rigidity in the high-speed main spindle, it also incorporates MHI's unique main spindle lubrication cooling technology and suppresses self-heating of the machine normally caused by long hours of continuous operation, which take a toll on machining precision. Through these innovations, the LH250 has achieved machining with 5 micrometer (µm, 0.001 millimeter) level precision, the highest level in the same size machine category.
MOL-Developed Optimum Trim System
TOKYO—Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President: Koichi Muto) today announced the joint development of an optimum trim system for vessels, along with Akishima Laboratories (Mitsui Zosen) Inc. A pilot test of the system, using a 6,400-unit car carrier, showed an increase of up to 4% in fuel efficiency compared to a conventionally equipped vessel, which in turn contributes to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions. The optimum trim system quantitatively assesses MOL captains’ extensive practical knowledge of vessel running attitudes through tank testing and actual ship test.
