M2fx, manufacturer of Miniflex, has helped Audi and BAE systems. Audi's automotive engineers faced challenges when fibres were being harmed during installation, and also later by vibration when the car was being driven. M2fx were invited by Audi to investigate and subsequently designed a solution based on Miniflex technology that resulted in the fibre being protected in the loom while still being sufficiently flexible to allow for the movement of engine bay components. BAE Systems also worked with M2fx to overcome a problem with the Eurofighter. Fibres on board the plane had to be replaced after landing as they would fail due to extreme forces. BAE Systems fitted Miniflex in a trial run and flew the Eurofighter under test conditions to see how the fibre would cope. Miniflex technology successfully overcame the issues and is now installed in every Eurofighter aircraft.
Graham Dupree, M2fx director of sales EMEA said "We are delighted to be represented by FTL who we know will support our customers and products extremely well. FTL have a superb reputation that they have earned by serving clients well for many years, we are pleased to be associated with them".
"Why install M2FX? It is superior to anything else on the market...[and has] saved the company 57% on total installation cost over traditional technology“ - Brian Schrand – Network Engineering, Construction and Operations – Cincinnati Bell
The 57% figure was derived from their cost study and largely a result of de-skilling the installation and reducing snags.
How good is it watch this!
