The cable tray in an Engine tests only 40-millimeter wide cable carrier is ensured by the appropriate conduits. Precision is the main imperative not only when building the A380, but also in all of VAHLE’s solutions. Europe is celebrating its most successful industrial project: the giant jumbo A 380 - a new airplane that has taken on dimensions which were hardly imaginable a few years ago. Yet in this very year – ten years after the initial idea – three specimen of the Airbus A380 became reality: 73 meters long, 24 meters high, a wingspan from the tip of the left to right wing of 79.80 meters with a wing surface of 845 square meters. Now for the first time, a jet has three decks, one for cargo and baggage, and two for the nearly 800 passengers depending on the seating arrangement. It is as if two large airplanes were packed into one. Airports must adjust to the magnitude of this airplane. On April 27th, 2005 the „big goose“, as the A380 is also called by engineers, took off for its first flight in front of thousands of curious onlookers. The first impression was disappointing. The super bird does not appear to be gigantic. Maybe Airbus should put a small A318 next to it, so that people can understand the dimensions of it. It is the gigantic hall painted silver-blue at the Airbus site that triggers the illusion. The building – one of the largest in Europe – is five-hundred meters long, 250 meters wide, and 46 meters high. It also offers 34,000 square meters of office space on six floors. Only gradually do the onlookers realize the size of the A380. From the gallery at the height of the tail unit it becomes apparent what a colossus is standing there in the hall. The workers and engineers pottering about 20 meters below on the ground look like ants. The airplane requires a surface of 100 x 100 meters, while the working platforms to the left and right of the plane are elevated five floors. A product from all over Europe The A380 is a product that is as European as almost no other. The individual parts for the superbird are manufactured at 16 sites between Spain At the site the airplane manufacturer tests not only the preliminary models, but also all subsequent airplanes of the series after assembly. A new test stand has been built at Toulouse Airport for engine tests and test runs. This test stand has a diameter of over 100 meters. Twenty-meter high walls and gates protect the outside world from the sound. The two giant gates with their own engines are fed by two VAHLE cable carrier assemblies. The reliable W45 cable carriers were installed for this purpose. During the test run of the enormous Rolls Royce engines, the thrust must be directed upwards. Six connected, maneuverable deflectors with frequency controlled motors are in charge of this task. The electrical current supply along The VAHLE system can be recognized in the crosssection profile of the machine. The W45 FR cable carrier assemblies have a new kind of clamping profile for flat and round cables. With the combination of the basic clamping profile and one or more enhanced profiles - 6 mm index – it is possible to clamp together round cables of different diameters and flat cables of different sizes.
The „Affiche Galerij“ in The Hague Bringing Art to the People In the past decades cultural activities have been developed in public places in The Hague, which can hardly be found anywhere else in the Netherlands. Music festivals, outdoor cinema, the famous sculpture exposition in the city and of course the world-famous firework festival on the beach in the suburb of Scheveningen attract culture buffs to the Oranje city every year. Since October 2004 the center has a new attraction. In the long awaited underground „Deluxe“ station of the city railway at the Spuiplein square there is a continuous poster exposition, the „Affiche Galerij“ or poster gallery. At the gallery, the historic posters hang behind a two-meter high glass wall on a surface of more than 150 meters. Up to six times a year, the exhibits, which were compiled according to topic by the project director Wendy Lauw from the Hague City Archive, are rotated: „Sixty posters in the illuminated frames then have to be changed and hung up again. Together with VAHLE, the Dutch star architect Rem Koolhass has developed a simple and safe system so that this can be done quickly and easily. The suspensions of the frames are threaded in a continuous guide rail and pushed into their position by hand. In order to illuminate the pictures equally without a glare, the frames have a built-in indirect lighting system. Thus, the electrical current logically has to be mobile and carried along with the exhibit.“ Who could have developed a better solution for this than VAHLE. It’s not for nothing that the firm’s slogan is: „VAHLE makes electricity mobile“. While 156 meters of the S2 carrier were used as guide rails, the the KSL enclosed conductors were used to supply electricity to the illuminated frames. The collector cables had to be adjusted to the curves and bulges of the walls according to the artists’ preferences. Flexible to customers’ wishes But not only that. The classic VAHLE-green of the conductors was out of the question for Koolhaas. Flexibility and customer service is one of the great strengths of the firm from Kamen. This is how VAH- LE satisfied the needs of the architect. An eye-catching orange powder coating was applied to the carrier rail and the conductor system was tinted to match the brown color of the steel construction. At any rate Wendy Lauw is highly Thanks to the bright floors, the openings in the ceiling for daylight and of course the „Affiche Galerij“ with its 60 illuminated posters, no one will feel trapped in the station at the Spuiplein. satisfied with the installation: „It is easy to handle and works absolutely flawlessly up to now. I think we will be able to use it for many more years without difficulties, not only in order to relieve the passengers of that nightmarish feeling that is often associated with an underground station, but also to continue offering them continually changing art.“ The fact that the people feel that they are in good hands in this underground station, certainly also has to do with the unusually bright wooden floors and the daylight slots. However, the „Affiche Gallerij“ of the city archive adds an additional highlight to the highly successful architecture. The proof: as soon as the posters are in their place, the first photographers are there to take pictures of them. The blond archivist director smiles with satisfaction, when she points to the picture aficionados to help her prove her point: „This is what we experience every time. You have to bring art to the people and then they will take pleasure in it.“ VAHLE’s KSL PVC enclosed multiple conductor systems are insulated safety conductors for crane trolleys and material handling equipment, suspension tracks, hoists, electrical tools, automated storage and retrieval installations, as well as many applications in which electrical current is supplied to mobile users. They are suitable for indoor and outdoor facilities. They distinguish themselves by the fact that they require little space, are corrosion-resistant and easy to install.
