Preparing for engine maintenance pays off
Article Abstract:
Two approaches to scheduled and unexpected engine maintenance discussed at The Motor Ship's conference are summarized. Prof Gunter Grossmann of the Technical University of Berlin expounds on the inclusion of estimated linear wear rate in preplanning scheduled maintenance in his paper 'Factors Influencing the Wear Rate of Liners for Two-Stroke Engines.' The use of existing and planned communications systems that can aid a ship's crew for unscheduled work is tackled by Prof Nicholas Kyrtatos of the National Technical University in Athens in his paper 'Ship Technical Support Through Advanced Telecommunication Technologies.'

Mobile workstations offer flexibility for engine assembly
Article Abstract:
Bleichert Forderanlagen Gmbh of Osterburken, Germany, parent company of Bleichert Inc., is manufacturing a chain of mobile workstation used in the design of assembly automation systems. The assembly device uses an electrified monorail concept wherein power is delivered to the machine through electrified rails in the floor or in an above-floor structure. The machine, used with efficient locating precision, is employed in the support assembly of six- and eight-cylinder diesel truck engines at the Mercedes truck engine facility in Mannheim, Germany.
