Investments in new manufacturing equipment slowing down

The 12.800 square meters manufacturing plant in Xian Technology Park is almost ready, but investments in equipment will be slowed down, according to the reduced export share forecasts outside China, Korea and India.
Feanor traditional Automotive, Aerospace and Defense markets in South East are not so bad as in the West, and focus will be there in the next two years.
Feanor got no support for research in Estonia in the last twelve years, nor for participation to exhibitions to improve export turnover, that's why design, prototyping and manufacturing of new sensors will be relocated in Xian plant.
Future patents will be registered in China and 10-15 technical staff will be initially provided by Xian Technology Institute. Optimal size would be 300 units.
Other reasons for relocating is lack of local industrial customers (export for many products has constantly been 100%) and skilled personnel.
'Chinese are clever, active and motivated, and this is what is most needed for hi-tech research'.
Translation services, representing more than 10% of total activities, will continue to operate in Estonia.

Finnish Quality Innovation Prize 2010 - Tarja Halonen tunnustas Eesti ettevõtteid Kvaliteediinnovatsiooni auhinnaga

Tarja Halonen tunnustas Eesti ettevõtteid Kvaliteediinnovatsiooni auhinnaga

Tervisliku Piima Biotehnoloogiate Arenduskeskus OÜ ja Feanor OÜ võitsid täna õhtul Soomes Kvaliteediinnovatsiooni auhinna. Eritunnustuse pälvis AS Vähiuuringute Tehnoloogia Arenduskeskus.
Soome presidendi Tarja Haloneni osalusel anti täna õhtul Helsingis, rahvusvahelisel kvaliteedipäeval, Soome kvaliteediauhinna galal Eesti ettevõtetele üle kvaliteediinnovatsiooni auhinnad.
„Õnnitlen võitjaid! Teie saavutus on kiiduväärt mitmes mõttes. Esiteks annab see tõestust selle kohta, et ettevõtluse ja teaduse koostöö on viljakandev. Samas olete teistele eeskujuks seetõttu, et saavutasite tunnustuse rahvusvahelisel konkursil, sest Eesti ettevõtluse rahvusvahelistumine peab saama argipäevaks,“ sõnas majandus- ja kommunikatsiooniminister Juhan Parts. „Jäite silma oma ala rahvusvahelistele spetsialistidele, kes on selle auhinnaga öelnud, et teie koduturuks võib juba homme olla kogu maailm.“

Tervisliku Piima Biotehnoloogiate Arenduskeskusele tõi Kvaliteediinnovatsiooni auhinna uudne Eestis leiutatud ja kliiniliselt katsetatud vererõhku alandav mikroobitüvi TENSIA ning Feanor OÜ-le freesimise terad, mis aitavad saavutada märkimisväärset aja- ja ressursisäästu.

Green sensor thin film Platinum temperature sensors: software from Estonia, hardware from China

Feanor OU signed an agreement for the development of Platinum temperature sensors in Xi'an Research Park.
This technology is actually only available from manufacturers in USA and Germany and saw a rapid increase in the last years, despite the international financial crisis which impacted the automotive and related manufacturing business. These 'green' and versatile sensors have an estreme wide measuring range, from -196 °C to 1000 °C and are employed in aircrafts (more than 100 in each single aircraft), engines, process technology, micro-heaters, gas sensors, bio-sensors and flow sensors.
Feanor will develop data acquisition software and the R&D base. The new plant, which includes a clean room, will be operational in 2011 and will employ approximately 400 people.

Joint research from China and Estonia or high frequency measurement in space environment

Feanor OU, Tallinn, Xi’An North WesternTechnical University and Chinese network, Xi’An reached a cooperation on joint study on a new device for measurement in low pressure fluid mechanics for use on nanosatellites.
The idea of a nanosatellite has nothing to do with nanotechnology, a term that refers the precise engineering of materials on atomic and molecular scales. Nanosatellites are appealing because their small size makes them affordable. From a military perspective, a nanosatellite may be useful for the redundancy it could offer. Its small size can also help in avoiding detection.

Feanor will provide the measurement technology through a double frequency Zeeman laser interferometer source with increased speed, measuring istantaneous position, speed and acceleration of an extrememly light pendulum in a vacuum chamber vibrating at a frequency close to 10 kHz, at different environmental temperatures and pressures.
A software application using Labview 7 will be developed to analyse data. The development of the measuring device is supported by Chinese government, as North Western University in Xi'An is one of the key research centers.

Estonian special tools approved by Chinese nuclear equipment manufacturer

Feanor OU has been granted participation to a tender for development and supply of F type cutters for manufacturing of nuclear power generation equipment by Shanghai Electric (China), after successful dimensional pre-testing. F Cutters will be used for blade manufacturing on existing machines provided by US manufacturer and later on indigenous machines. Design is planned to start in the next weeks and testing will be held in Shanghai in October 2010.

Estonian company successful in turbofan manufacturing technology

Feanor OU successfully tested HM brazed milling cutters with 40° helix, without coating and with a new Zirc coating, in manufacturing of Aluminim alloys for aerospace.
This cutter has been competing against other manufacturers from Germany, Israel and Japan and will be used in the largest Chinese manufacturer of military aircraft engines.
Also a special guided reamer in solid carbide has been found effective in manufacturing high speed Titanium alloy components.
