American Abrasive Metals

Now Offers Safety Coating

For Marinas/Fishing Boats

After two decades of proven reli- ability aboard flight decks of air- craft carriers, a general purpose, heavy duty, non-slip deck coating is now commercially available from

American Abrasive Metals Compa- ny. The new abrasive coating known as Epoxo has wide application in marinas, floating slips, boat land- ings and on decks of commercial fishing boats.

Formulated with epoxy resins to give maximum adhesion to steel and concrete, Epoxo is unaffected by salt water and is resistant to most solvents, gasoline, fuels, oil, grease and hydraulic fluids commonly as- sociated with marina service areas and docking facilities. For commer- cial fishing boats Epoxo provides anti-slip protection on decks where fish oil, chum and seawater can cause slippery conditions.

Epoxo can be applied with a roll- er, trowel or spray over properly prepared metal and concrete sur- faces including new concrete, and will hard-dry in 24 hours.

TTS Installs Wartsila

Computer-Assisted

Manufacturing System —Literature Available

Total Transportation Systems (International) A/S (TTS) in pro- ject cooperation with Wartsila-Tur- ku shipyard of Finland have in- stalled at the yard the first produc-

January, 1988 tion system of its kind to provide computer-assisted manufacturing of shipbuilding subassemblies.

The system developed for the welding of stiffeners to steel plates, permits fabrication by direct input from Wartsila CAD/CAM computer design facility and represents, says

TTS, a breakthrough in the link between computing capacity and physical fabrication.

TTS have also developed a soft- ware package that makes it possible to operate the system with the same type of data input as a normal

C.N.C. gas cutting machine.

According to TTS, the introduc- tion of this method of production means that subassemblies can be manufactured quickly and highly cost effectively to very high stan- dards of accuracy which eliminate welding distortion, thus reducing subsequent assembly cost.

The contract for the Wartsila computer-assisted production lines has resulted in the development of new equipment and technology which has applications for many other metal fabrication industries where speed, accuracy and high lev- els of automation are required.
