ZOOMLION power tower "world eye" project successfully completed
In recent 22 years, the world's largest single caliber (500 meter) spherical radio telescope (FAST) has been completed from site selection to construction. The project has officially entered the commissioning stage.
FAST is one of the Ninth National Science and technology infrastructure, and is the summit of the world's Radio and radio astronomy science and technology. The 500 meter caliber, 4450 reflector units and nearly 9000 high strength steel cables will be maintained in the next 10 to 20 years by the innovative design, research and development of Chinese scientists.
It is understood that the FAST is known as the world's eye is about 400000 panel, in more than 100 meters up in spliced. This work, known as the "FAST reflector panel hoisting project", has also been the most difficult construction in its construction.
During the lifting process of the FAST reflector faceplate, the 3 tower crane TC6013 from the equipment manufacturing giant ZOOMLION has played an important role in the construction of the reflector unit for more than a year in the construction of the tower crane with superior and precise performance.
The main part of the FAST project is a spherical mirror diameter meter, a total area of 250 thousand square meters, equivalent to 30 football pitches, the reflection panel of the FAST radio telescope up to about 400000 pieces, between the panels to calculate the error with mm, a high degree of difficulty of hitherto unknown, beyond imagination.
