Control Techniques drives help Titanic Belfast open on time
Titanic Belfast, the world’s largest Titanic Visitor Experience, was built to continue the story and legacy of the world’s most famous ship; to celebrate Belfast’s great ship-building feats and commemorate Titanic’s tragic maiden voyage and loss of life. Titanic Belfast is located in the heart of Belfast, Northern Ireland, on the slipways where the Titanic was built. It measures 14,000m² and accommodates nine galleries of interactive exhibition space, an underwater exploration theatre, recreations of the ship’s decks and cabins, banqueting facilities, Titanic Store and a café and bistro. The unique architectural design was influenced by several maritime themes, including the insignia of the White Star Line

Faster laminating through machine innovation
With competitors’ laminating machines running at line speeds of 20 to 25 m/min, a new design capable of 120 or even 180 m/min offers clear productivity advantage. Autobond Ltd of Heanor are meeting these high production speeds with their new laminating machines. Achieving this huge step-up in speed presented them with a challenge which they met in partnership with Lenze. The Lenze ‘easy engineering’ approach meant working closely with the customer from the initial idea, optimising the design from alternatives in a wide product portfolio, using strong application knowledge and powerful sizing software.
