Delicate laser technology from Örebro in Sweden arrived safely in Japan following six months of planning and cooperation between SGL Sweden, SGL Japan and SGL´s dedicated Charter department in Billund, Denmark.
The high value industrial laser equipment required a non-standard engineering solution and a controlled temperature environment to complete its journey.
The 21-ton shipment’s dimensions were 3.2m wide and 2.7m high and it was decided to transport the laser equipment in a special container with several holes that made it possible to moor the cargo into the aircraft. In order to load the container, a special ramp extension was used. The ramp equipment was delivered to Sweden from Leipzig, Germany, for the flight.
The cargo was oversize and highly sensitive equipment and needed to be loaded and carried in a temperature environment below 30° C. To meet these requirements, the loading process in Sweden was performed early in the morning, standing time during the maintenance stop in Krasnoyarsk was reduced to a minimum, and the aircraft remained closed while the maintenance team installed equipment to unload the container in Japan.
“After many meetings with customer and careful planning, this transport became a success”, says Andreas Wramsmyr, Managing Director SGL Sweden.
The laser installation will be used by one of the enterprises producing industrial electronics in Japan.
