Developing a cost-effective and compact computer tomograph for analysing drill cores from the seabed: To accomplish this task, the Hattingen-based CT specialist diondo relied on our motors and the D1 dryve-control system. What makes the components so successful in the application:
"The excellent price-performance ratio, the robustness and the problem-free integration into the system concept were decisive factors in the selection. Our experience has been so good that we will also be using the control system from igus® in future CT systems"
Sebastian Maas, Head of Product Engineering at diondo
The CT facility went into operation at the end of 2020. It supports researchers in analysing the structural composition of sedimentary rock in the seabed. Why is this important? Because so-called gas hydrates - crystalline solids with trapped methane - occur in the seabed. They are among the potential energy sources of the future. However, companies need to be careful when extracting them. Uncontrolled extraction could end catastrophically. For example, if the seabed in the slope area slips and causes a tidal wave. To prevent this, researchers are analysing the occurrence of gas hydrates and their structure. The CT images are important input variables for simulating the flow during hydrate transport processes in the sedimentary rock.
