With the Dörries VTL, complete processing in one set-up is possible for many typical pump components (housings).
The Dörries CONTUMAT VC 2400 MC-V vertical lathe provides high-precision machining of rotary components.
The Dörries Contumat VCE 2000 VTL is fitted with a pallet table with a separate straightening table and motor-driven alignment stand.
"Top tier suppliers to the oil and gas and power generation industries are no different than companies involved in any other supply chain-they need to constantly work smarter, quicker and more cost-effectively to not only meet their customers' demands, but also to ensure that their own bottom-line margins are not only maintained but, ideally, also improved," said a Starrag spokesperson. "Nowadays, this means investing in best-in-class manufacturing technologies. And as global oil and gas markets become ever-more competitive, an increasing number of suppliers (and OEMs) are gaining production savings by harnessing Starrag's `Engineering precisely what you value' strategy."
As part of Starrag's comprehensive product range, machines from Dörries and Scharmann in particular are reportedly benefitting users in oil and gas industries. In each case, Starrag can modify and supply each machine specifically to suit each user's unique machining needs.
A manufacturer of piston compressors that operate up to 3,600 bar, Burckhardt Compression uses a quartet of Starrag machines-a Scharmann Alpha 1250 M machining center, a Scharmann Heavyspeed 2 ram-type boring mill, a Dörries Contumat VC 2400/200 vertical turning lathe (VTL) and a Scharmann Ecoforce 2 HT4 machining center-to machine cylinders, cylinder blocks, frames, valve heads and steering rods. Producing components up to 236" long and weighing 66,139 lbs., the production routines are demanding, including finish machining to 20 microns and H7 holes up to 51.2" deep. "The Starrag machines consistently meet all requirements while also generating time and production savings compared to former methods," said the spokesperson.
According to August Dünki, Burckhardt Compression Director of Large Part Manufacturing, "We especially gain extra benefits from the use of the Dörries VTL's additional moveable work table axis (for set-up and/or in-situ workpiece inspection) and reduced unproductive time via the 72.4 HP Ecoforce 2 HT 4, which utilizes head attachments (with automatic pick-up) and robot tool handling. Starrag's machine pre-approval software package is particularly beneficial. It details workpiece processing, including all machining parameters, tools and targeted processing times, and is an important part of machine selection."
In another example, Mokveld is using a 80.5 HP Dörries Contumat VCE 2000 VTL to machine high-pressure axial flow control and stop valves measuring up to 94.5" long by 78.7" diameter and weighing up to 26,455 lbs. These are produced from materials such as cast and chrome steels, duplex, super duplex Inconel and titanium. Eighty percent of the machining-to finishes of 30 microns-is focused on turning. Again, the use of a second work table is proving beneficial by enabling a workpiece to be set up while another is being machined, for example. Additionally, because boring can also be undertaken on the VTL, Mokveld is reducing formerly long machining times, re-location errors and costs by machining the components complete in a single set-up.
KSB also utilizes a Dörries Contumat VTL-in this case a VCE 2800/220 MC model-on which it is machining machine pump housings weighing up to 6,614 lbs. to exacting IT6 tolerance standards. Replacing a process that involved turning the housings' front and rear sides and then re-locating on a different machine for drilling, the Contumat performs all required tasks in a single clamping. The machine not only reduced throughput times, but it has also replaced two to three conventional machines, allowing KSB to gain further financial capital investment rewards and improved operator utilization.

Amazing spot for RV's, RIGHT up next to Joshua Tree national park. Susan has a parking spot that is easily accessible. Address super easy to find without getting lost on dirt roads. Best spot if you're looking to visit Joshua Tree with an RV.
I am Happy Brittany could come for a visit.
Lovely elevated spot looking down over Joshua Tree town. The spot is nice and flat once you have driven in. There's water and trash on site. A picnic table would be nice so be sure to bring one. Super close to JT National Park and lots of hiking trails.
Very quiet neighbourhood, Although a residential area the homes are all on acreage and so very spread apart.
Susan was lovely to deal with and always responded immediately to any questions or requests.
I would definitely recommend for a couple or small family that is looking for somewhere quiet and restful.
Thank you Lisa for amplifying my description of the site. Glad you could visit,
Loved my stay here -- it's a very well thought out, cozy little RV pad with beautiful views of the area. A small hill on one side, and a expansive field on the other with cactus and Joshua Trees. It's very close to the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park -- perfect for a quick trip in for a day or two to go explore.
Susan was a wonderful host! She was very informative and helpful. I was so pleased to have access to WiFi to get some work done while I was there.
If you have pets, be sure to be prepared to keep them on a leash. With the wildlife in the area, it is safer this way. At the RV pad itself, there are 6 solar lights outlining the edges of the RV pad -- this was especially helpful at night. Regardless of the lights, you can still see so many stars from here -- it's a beautiful little place.
The RV pad is perfectly level -- you won't have to use leveling blocks at all -- just pull in and park! There is a semi circle loop around the house, which makes navigating with an RV there super easy.
I would definitely book here again -- thank you to a wonderful host!
Gosh, another great camper offering additional helpful information. She has a beautiful snow white dog who was most welcome.
Quite spot just outside of Joshua Tree. Susan offers a level RV pad with water, RV sanitation and free Wi-Fi. Lots of areas to walk near by and we spotted plenty of wildlife. Very nice to sit outside and enjoy the city lights in the distance. The area is very peaceful and Susan was a good host.
Jeannie, wife, and Beau are guests everyone should welcome
Susan was a wonderful, clear, super helpful host and her RV spots are a five minute drive to the entrance of the park - super useful when the park is all filled up!
Meera, husband and friend are happy hikers. Great Hipcampers
Susan's spot was great! It was a peaceful site. We had an amazing view from our window. It was also very close to Joshua Tree National Park. Susan was responsive (provided us detailed directions before we got there), welcoming (helped us park in the space) and overall was a wonderful host. Enjoyed our time!
A very friendly host welcomed us on the spot. It had a beautiful view on Joshua Tree. A starry night and cooling wind. Recommended!!
We were coming from a big school bus conversion meet up in the Arizona desert and needed a place close to services, but also quiet to regroup ourselves. Slept well and woke up to the property full of rabbits, quail and a desert fox! Our host did warn us about the critters so I kept my dog on a leash when out walking. Was really close to Joshua Tree park entrance, laundry facilities in town and lots of little restaurants and shops. Susan was quick to respond to questions and greeted us with a lit up driveway to park our bus. Thanks again!
Susan was a great host. The site was easily accessible. The location was quiet and peaceful. The owner's home was closer to the camp site than expected.

Welcome back!Hope you guys enjoyed reading the last blog.Make sure you guys did.If didn't,read it now.It has the blog title:Some theories I saw on internet.If you guys love this,i'll make even more on this series.Also, I almost shootout a new blog series.Remember to read later.Now, let's focus on more theories mysteries.Wait,by the way, comment what I need to fix or add.I promise I'll accept you all's suggestment.Thank you!
Today,we'll talk about the most popular theory on the internet now.It's the U.A traitor.I'll explain most carefully does I can with the information I have right here.Let's go!
Principal Nezu said that there was a traitor among the school.Who is it?What reasons?I'll list out our suspects.
1.Leading on our suspect list is Toru Hagakure.The invisible girl get no trusts from fans or watcher. A huge reason why people suspect Hagakure is because she is invisible, making her the perfect spy for the League of Villains. Most people hardly ever pay attention to her, such as Todoroki during the USJ incident. There's also the fact that she rarely interacts with the other classmates. Her known friends in the class are currently unknown, although Tsuyu Asui seems to have taken a liking to her.
Another possible piece of evidence is the fact that she has an intelligence stat of 4, the same as Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki, Bakugou, Shinso, and Aizawa - all of which are rather intellectual characters. Despite this, she has one of the worst grades in the class, suggesting that she could be holding her idiocy as a facade. Her whereabouts at USJ are also rather hazy. She states that she was with Todoroki, but Todoroki never noticed her presence, so it's entirely possible that where she really was.
2.Yuga Aoyama
Firstly, Aoyoma is the first character in UA we meet after the meeting Midoriya and his friends, potentially alluding to the possibility that he is going to be as a big of a character as they are. He gets a regular amount of attention on-screen, but not to the point where he is overly noticeable.
However, the strongest piece of evidence to this is the fact that, out of everyone at the USJ attack, his whereabouts were never stated or hinted to. Granted, there is the argument that if he didn't want to draw attention to himself then he wouldn't bring up the fact that no one knew where he was. However, I'd argue that, despite aiding the villains, he would still retain his desire to be flashy and noticed. Furthermore, that could even be the reason he is helping the League of Villains in the first place.
3.Monoma Neito
Kendo and Tetsutetsu are both most likely to be innocent, as they were the ones who defeated the gas creator in an attempt to save the camp. Shiozaki is also most likely to be innocent, as she was knocked out by the gas.
The most likely traitor from Class-B is Monoma. Monoma is naturally mischievous and has a villainous demeanor to him. At the start of Season 3, one of his classmates even called him "scary", possibly foreshadowing how he is affiliated with the League of Villains. Monoma also has an intelligence stat of 5, meaning that it's entirely possible for him to have manipulated everybody to suit the League of Villains' accord. It's also possible that Monoma purposely failed the final exam so that he would be safe from the poisonous gas at the training site. After all, Monoma has a relatively strong quirk, as he was capable of going toe to toe with Kirishima and Bakugo at the Sports Festival. It's also rather strange that Monoma is the only character from Class B to have failed the test, despite the fact that there seems to be weaker students in his class.
4.Denki Kaminari
Kaminari is the most heavily theorized character to be the UA traitor. This is less-so because of actual evidence and more-so because people like the thought of Kaminari being a genius the entire time, and simply pretending to be dumb to hide his true identity. However, there is a bit of evidence to back it up.
Although he was also attacked by the electricity villain in USJ, it's quite possible that the villain was just using Kaminari as a bluff to kill Yaoyorozu and Jiroh. And the reason Kaminari never said anything was because, at that moment, his brain was still short circuited
Kaminari also took an instant liking to Stain, after hearing the arc that Iida, Todoroki, and Midoriya went to. Although, he was quite apologetic afterwards.
However, there is evidence to debunk this theory. For one thing, out of all the characters at USJ, Kaminari is tied with Mineta for being the most scared. He was very neurotic when telling Jiro about his quirk, to the point where it flat out annoyed her. And even then, it was Kaminari who took out the majority of the men attacking Jiroh and Yaoyorozu. And if he was affiliated with the League of Villains, then why would Kirigiri transport him with the other student, especially since there was a select few who did not get warped(e.g. Uraraka, Iida, and Ashido)?

Inside this Pack
If you would like to modify the contents of this course pack to suit your needs then we'll gladly accommodate you. Please feel free to call the College of Digital Photography on 086 11 74686 (PHOTO) or firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss your requirements.
The Fundamentals course details the principles of light, how your camera works, what all those settings and buttons do, and the choices you need to make to ensure your vision of a scene and the photo you produce are matched. Completion of the Fundamentals course prior to any other courses in this package is a necessity, however if you're feeling bold you can complete the Basic Photoshop course concurrently.
It would be virtually impossible to be a successful wedding or event photographer, without having a good understanding of Photoshop. All to frequently you may be asked to fix a blemish, add a border or text to an image, or you may want to convert a few photographs to black & white, or even give them a subtle sepia tone.
You will also learn to master Adobe Lightroom, which has been designed to assist you to manage and edit large quantities of digital images in a streamlined way. You can import, organise, tweak and output hundreds of high resolution photographs with ease – ideal for any wedding or event.
After the Fundamentals course you can move on to do any of the advanced courses. The Advanced Digital Photography course will help lift your photography to a new level and show you how to capture images that are not only technically great, but will also have a real impact on your viewer.
The Mastering flash course teaches you how to get the most out of the pop-up or hot-shoe flash, and introduces you to the world of strobism where you begin to use multiple flash units and accessories to create amazing images. You would struggle to photograph an entire wedding or event without using flash, and considering you only get one chance to capture the moments and memories of the perfect day, so it is imperative that you have the knowledge and skill to get it right.
On the People course you will master techniques to capture the true nature and personality of a person in their daily surroundings indoors or outdoors. Each week you walk away with practical knowledge that you can easily apply at any wedding or event.
The Wedding & Event Photography course will help you learn how to prepare for and make sure that you capture all the amazing photographs that you'll need, to tell the whole story. You will also learn about the different equipment needed, as well as what the latest trends are in wedding & event photography.
If the bug bites and you decide to make some extra cash on the side, we will show you how to set up your very own photography business as well as how to market yourself.

(Teacher's Comment)
This call was set to share what we learned in Climate Action project (http://www.climate-action.info). Vietnamese students told us that pollution is a serious problem in their nation and Dennish students showed us their ideas with Minecraft and we were all amazed to see their high creativity.
Also, a Dennish girl asked us why Tokyo is so clean - well, honestly the cityside in Japan is not so clean as the coutryside. But one rule that might interest you is that in Japan everyone never leaves trash. If we can't find trash boxes, we usually bring the trash to our home and it is like a tacit rule. If you leave them, you will be regarded as rude or ignorant. Even in my school, students must bring the plastic bottles to their home if you bring one from their home. I think this rule influences greatly to keep the environment clean.
Let me show my gratitude to the two educators we had a call on the day - Lieu Nguyen Thi from Vietnam and Katja Borregaard from Denmark. It was great pleasure to see you two after meeting you in E2 Toronto.

I Know What You Did Last Summer
The dark side of the horror genre is that when a horror movie crosses over and makes big money — The Exorcist, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street — a wave of inferior rip-offs is never far behind. Well, once again, studio execs have sat up and taken notice: "Hey! Scream made $100 million! Let's make a slasher movie!" The first one out of the box, I Know What You Did Last Summer, is particularly disappointing because it was written by Kevin Williamson, who scripted Scream, and who, I thought, was much smarter than this. Scream was a clever slasher-film parody that played by the rules of the subgenre while affectionately ribbing those same rules. Last Summer just plays by the rules — boringly, predictably so.
The film is based on Lois Duncan's dated, poorly written young-adult novel from 1974 (sample dialogue: "Of all the dumb tricks! The guy must be off his nut"). Williamson has altered the plot while keeping the basic premise. Four high-school stereotypes — beauty queen Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar), straight-A student Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), jock Barry (Ryan Phillippe), and working-class outsider Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.) — are out driving when they run over a shadowy figure. The kids panic and dump the body into the nearby ocean, making a pact never to talk about the incident. Then, one year later, Julie gets a mysterious note that reads — well, check the title.
At this point, Last Summer turns into a depressingly routine slasher film. A figure called the Fisherman, dressed in a black slicker and wielding a hook, goes around terrorizing the kids. Does he want to scare a confession out of them, or does he just want to kill them? The latter, I'm afraid. But while we wait, Williamson tosses in many red herrings — who just turn out to be Fisherman fodder. The big question on the kids' minds, and on ours, is: Who's doing this and why? The final explanation is disastrously anti-climactic, especially coming from the writer who threw us a few diabolical twists and curves in Scream.
Director Jim Gillespie is no Wes Craven. He doesn't know how to use the wide screen (it's a waste of Panavision), and he gets no help from his actors. Phillippe and Prinze lack the quirkiness of the horror-obsessed geeks in Scream; they're generic Fox-TV hunks. Gellar, the vibrant star of TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is bland here; she's too smart and likable to be credible as the snotty, shallow Helen. (Charisma Carpenter, who plays the self-absorbed Cordelia on Buffy, would have been more like it. Gellar was originally up for the role of Cordelia, and here she demonstrates how wrong she would've been for the part.) Hewitt, of Party of Five, fares better with the brooding, guilt-stricken Julie, but she's too obviously being groomed as the next Neve Campbell. Only Anne Heche, stealing her two scenes as a lonely backwoods woman, makes an impression.
Williamson is a native of the North Carolina fishing community, where the movie is set. There are a few atmospheric scenes and touches of local color, but even though the film was shot on location, the place feels like the same suburban wherever I've seen in a hundred slasher movies. Despite the open ending and Columbia's hunger for a franchise, I doubt that the Fisherman will catch on as an enduring icon of fear to match Michael Myers, Freddy, Jason, or even Scream's Munch-faced killer. The movie could have been a small paranoid classic, a smart teen rendition of Hitchcock, set in a specific locale with living, breathing people we could care about. Instead, it's the kind of anemic gore-fest that killed the genre fifteen years ago. Kevin Williamson, what were you thinking?Explore posts in the same categories: adaptation, horror
