NEW WAYS IN SHIPBUILDING

SCHIFFBAU AUF NEUEN WEGEN

The author describes newly developed equipment for the rationalised manufacture of ships sections, particularly for extra-large ships. Roller tables are employed to carry the plates to the flame-cutters and to the automatic feed type frame mounting and welding machines. Finished panels are made up into so-called volumes sections, which are assembled in the building dock by means of gantry cranes to form the hull of the ship. Reference is made to material flow, handling equipment and, in greater detail, to roller chain conveyors.
