HI Hooflungdung,
Thanks. Vestas is the competition. And we're using VARIM already for some years. It is just that in the USA we'll have to start from scratch. That is why I look for information/people who work/have worked with VARIM.
Cheers,
GM [sleeping2]
Hello B.E.
Thanks for the info. Yep, they are produced in India at the moment.
And yes, 42m is quite long, though we are also looking to produce longer blades.
Cheers,
GM
Hello gentlemen,
Thank you for your input. [thumbsup2]
The process we use for producing the blades is VARIM. We therefore look for people/organisations/experts who can do this for us.
Next to that I am looking for locations where we can train (if necessary) people on this.
Best regards,
GM...
Hello everyone,[wavey3]
My company is currently in the process to set up a rotor blade (for windmills) factory in the US (Minnesota). Blades are 42m. in length.
[COLOR=red]I would like to know what knowledge and skill is available in the US, and especially Minnesota with VARIM? [/color red]...
Hi All, [wavey] [wavey] [wavey] [wavey] [wavey]
Someone informed me that there is a better test called: Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC). It's supposed to be quicker than the above mentioned. Anyone know of labs in Hong Kong and/or China which can do this test?
I know one University...
Dear All, [wavey2]
Does anyone know whether there are labs in Hong Kong or China, where I can do any of the following tests:
Melt Flow Index (MFI) - Melt Flow Rate (MFR): ASTM D 1238 (Procedure A), D3364, ISO 1133 (Procedure A)
Scope: Melt Flow Rate measures the rate of extrusion of...
Hi, [wavey3]
I'm looking for ways to do accelerated life tests for different types of lighting (mainly Christmas lights).
How can I do this?

Thanks for the link to proscope. Very interesting, but I cannot use it for what I'm looking for. The proscope needs a laptop and that would mean I would have to by 20 laptops as well.

Dear All, [peace]
[bugeyed]I'm looking for a small, cheap (around US$100.- - US$150.-), digital macro camera for our QC's to take pictures of defects of products in factories. They visit a lot of factories, so the camera should be small. And most defects are a small size so the camera must take...

I agree totally, I've told them the same things quite a few times, but as long as I can't convince 'em of that, it will remain my problem.
Luckily I enjoy my job and can deal pretty well with the daily problems (some people can be very, very rude), and believe in due time...
Hello again,
Yes, but my company does not falsify anything. And the product does have the CE mark. The factory just decided after the proper checks by a lab, that a fake plug would be cheaper, i.e. more profit.
Cheers, [cheers]

Hi All,
I agree with you all.
BTW, it's not MY company. I just work here.
I already asked management several time to actually quantify projects. With this I mean, find out what we're buying, how much time each and every person has to spend on a project, how often we have to visit the factory...
Hello all, [wavey3]
Thx for the input. It's very helpful.
I've talked to the management about the use of cheap, cheaper, cheapest manufacturers, instead of focusing a bit more on reputability and quality, but the story is always the same: cheap, cheaper, cheapest!
We do ask for certification...
Dear All, [wavey] [wavey] [wavey]
Late last year, on one of our products (a glue gun), we found (too late) that for production (in China) the factory changed the plug from the official one to a fake one[thumbsdown]. This meant a a lot of re-work (in the UK) for a lot of...
