Trelleborg Seals has recently established a satellite production unit in North Africa for the long-term, exclusive supply of seals to a major aerospace user.

Trelleborg Seals of Tewksbury supplies high-quality seals to satisfy the needs of many industrial sectors, not least the aerospace industry The company has recently established a satellite production unit in North Africa for the long-term, exclusive supply of seals to a major aerospace user

The great distance involved and related logistical problems dictate that support from the Tewksbury mother plant needs to be kept to a minimum.

As the new facility needs to be operated as a largely stand-alone production unit, Trelleborg has insisted that all purchased plant and associated ancillary equipment should be cost-effective, easy to use, multi-functional, and lot least, ultra reliable.

Trelleborg's recently acquired Aberlink Zenith co-ordinate measuring machine matches all of the company's demanding criteria.

Using Aberlink's software, the Zenith boasts a generous measuring envelope to accommodate all of the satellite plant's safety critical seals.

For most applications Aberlink's Zenith would be supplied with a touch probe, but due to the deformable nature of Trelleborg's products, the new CMM is fitted with Aberlink's noncontact, Telecentric Camera rendering.

Trelleborg's Aerospace Project Engineer Mike Buckle said "After hearing about the Zenith, through a third-party recommendation, a visit to Aberlink's Showroom confirmed the excellent reports that we had received".

"Although we considered other CMM options, we concluded that Aberlink's Zenith represented our optimum answer, at the right price, for our satellite unit's measuring needs".

"Our new Aberlink CMM is now helping to uphold Trelleborg's reputation for quality seals".

"Since Its installation, our Zenith has proven to be fast, accurate, extremely easy to use and ultra reliable".
