Parker will be exhibiting its latest fuel and heavy-duty lubricant filtration solutions at SMM, the Shipbuilding, Machinery, and Marine technology international trade fair in Hamburg
The 1/5th scale model will feature computer controlled moveable parts and is being built using laser sintering technology, an innovative process that can replicate practically any metal technology.
"The model will be about a metre high, held in a frame," explains Tom Potter, an apprentice from the design team, we will fit the pneumatics system Parker has kindly provided to enable the functioning of the moving parts.
The top section will be removable so that it can be used for training and demonstrations in the future," Tom continues: "The support we have received from Parker throughout the project has been invaluable and their contribution of the pneumatics components has enabled us to design a fully functional model that will be used over and again to help future Airbus apprentices".
