A large rail depot in Wimbledon has demonstrated the investment necessary for the integration of the rail with city life providing essential maintenance to keep the network moving. The build contract completed by Geoffrey Osborne has taken over two years to complete. HART DOOR SYSTEMS says it worked closely with Osbornes and its steel frame suppliers to provide a high quality finish. The construction is steel frame and insulated cladding. The doors are nominally 5M wide x 5M high. Made from steel insulated lath profile in powder finish they have lath profiles of 100mm with a thermal value of minimum 0.69w/m.sq.k and 18db standard across the lath with increasing performance options available. Guides incorporate brush seals to seal and minimise operational noise. The doors are press button operated through safe-drive electric motors providing full compliance to all BS EN standards of operation and safety. The company says Wimbledon can expect at least 30 years life out of the new installation reflecting on the fact previous doors supplied were Hart’s Speedor high speed fabric doors installed in 1989 now redundant by redesign of the depot. The installation was completed in one week on programme and on budget. t | 0191 214 0404 w | www.hartdoors.com BRAMMER BUCK & HICKMAN, a leading UK industrial supplies specialist, has announced the launch of the Cutline range of high-performance cutting tools.

The Cutline range includes hole making, milling, threading, reamers, countersinking, profiling and ISO milling and turning products, to name but a few. The full range is covered in the new Cutline catalogue which provides an overview with technical features and machining recommendations, making product selection for the right material and application quick and simple. w | www.bbh-rubix.com MASTER ABRASIVES has announced it is now offering vibro-balancing equipment by RK Systems as its new representative in the UK. RK Systems is a manufacturer in Poland that develops and produces measurement and data acquisition systems such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, universal device programmers and systems for dynamic rotor balancing. The company says the VibroDAQ is a professional measurement system for balancing and vibration measurements which can be used in various industries involved in maintenance of mechanical equipment in different types of companies. The VibroDAQ portable system allows one and two plane rotor balancing. The device is equipped with an LCD touch screen display and has special sophisticated algorithms for grinding wheel balancing and control meeting the ISO1940 requirements. w | www.masterabrasives.co.uk UK representative appointed MARTINDALE says with the 18th Edition now fully in force, using its ET-Link certification software is a great way to stay up to date with the latest certificate changes. The company says the updated PC software includes the new 18th Edition certificates which can be either auto filled from test results saved on-site using the ET4500 multifunction tester or entered manually. The certificates include all the latest changes and the Initial Verification and Periodic Inspection updated. With the need to carry out lower voltage insulation tests to prevent possible damage to smart home devices and control systems, there’s now a column on the Schedule of Test results form to record the insulation test voltage used, usually 250V instead of 500V. t | 01923 441717 w | www.martindale-electric.co.uk ET-Link certification software New cutting tools range CONTA-CLIP has announced it now offers a combination of a hydraulic hand pump and sheet-metal punching tool and says users can thereby produce break-outs in control cabinets for KDSClick, KDS-FB, KDS-KV, and KES cable entries within a few minutes. The hydraulic hand pump contains no hose and features a user- friendly, compact design. It weighs only 2 kg. The hydraulic cylinder can be rotated and swiveled by 360° along three axes, allowing for flexible use even in hard-to-reach places. The punching tool includes round hole punchers for all diameters from M20 to M63 for KDS-KV separable cable glands and square and rectangular hole punchers for all KDSClick, KDS-FB, and KES cable entries as well as for 110 by 131 mm KDS-FP flange plates. t | +49 . 5257 . 9833 - 0 e | christian.quade@conta-clip.de w | www.conta-clip.com Train-care depot gets new roller shutters Sheet-metal puncher 18 | Plant & Works Engineering www.pwemag.co.uk May 2019 Maintenance Matters
