Did you know that the synchrotron light is 10 billion times more brilliant than the sun light? And hundreds of thousands of times more intense than that from conventional x-ray tubes?
Our customers do know it very well and explained us this and much more…
Synchrotron radiation facilities produce this synchrotron light which is utilized to examine matter down to a molecular and atomic level across many scientific disciplines (biology, physics, material science, medicine…). Some examples can be the analysis of the structure of proteins, the development of new materials, cancer or energetic sustainability investigation.
Synchrotron light is produced by accelerating electrons, it is unique in its intensity and brilliance, and it can be generated across the range of the electromagnetic spectrum: from infrared to visible light to x-rays.
Two girder prototypes for a new storage ring that will upgrade the ALBA Synchrotron into a so-called 4th generation light source, have just been finished in our facilities in Tabaza I. Plinths, floor plates, frames, all manufactured components and the whole assembly were included in our scope of supply, as well as their corresponding set of documentation.
Factory Acceptance Tests including dimensional control of the manufactured pieces and functional verification of the assemblies, have been successfully carried out at our premises.
It is a pleasure for our company to contribute to the upgrade of this amazing facility constructed, owned and operated by a public Spanish consortium.
Special thanks to the people involved in this project in the ALBA Synchrotron for allowing us to be part of this challenge of manufacturing for science!
