Gratnells Engineering invests
further in state of the art laser
technology
Gratnells Engineering has recently invested in
a new state-of-the-art BLM LT Fiber machine,
allowing the Harlow-based company to
expand their capabilities in 2018 and ensure
clients benefit from even faster turnaround
times.
This brand-new machine sits next to the
existing LT5, a Laser tube cutting machine
designed to cut from small to medium diame-
ters and thicknesses of metal tubular sections.
The LT Fiber allows tubes of any shape to
be cut, process of special sections and even
open shapes without any additional special
equipment required.
Gratnells Engineering has also recently
upda ted www.gratnellslasercutting.com,
a website that outlines some of the key
benefits of the technology and streamlines
the decision-making process for customers
even further.
Heraeus Infra-Red Helps Reduce
RSI at Jaguar Land Rover
A custom-built, short wave infra-red oven
from Heraeus Noblelight is helping to
facilitate the manual fitting of fuel pipe hoses
to the Jaguar XJ at Jaguar Land Rover’s Castle
Bromwich manufacturing site.
The rubber fuel pipes need to be fitted on the
production line but, because of the hardness
of the rubber and the tightness of the fit,
operatives were having trouble in securing
the pipes.
As a result, samples of the hose were supplied
to the Heraeus Applications Centre in Neston,
Wirral, where successful trials were carried out
to devise an infra-red system.

Energy-Efficient Heraeus Infra-
Red Heating System Proves A
Winner With The Jaguar F-TYPE
A custom-built, fast response medium
wave (FRMW) infra-red heating system
from Heraeus Noblelight is helping in the
production line fitting of sound-deadening
pads to the Jaguar F-TYPE at Jaguar Land
Rover’s manufacturing site at Castle
Bromwich.
With a top speed of 200mph and acceleration
from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, it is important
that there is minimum transmission of noise
from the F-TYPE’s supercharged engine into
the passenger compartment. To prevent this,
highly efficient sound deadening panels are
fitted to the car.
