This piece of production equipment, developed through a partnership with Northern Illinois University, is designed specifically for the Large Hadron Collider. Our engineers modified existing 3D CAD Models of the equipment to the specs provided by NIU and drafted Production Drawings for CNC Machining.
Emergnt was contacted by an engineering research professor at the University of Illinois whose group was collaborating with CERN in designing portions the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland- a piece of particle physics research equipment which happens to be the largest machine in the world. The group was developing production equipment for a portion of the Collider- a cavity lined with tens of thousands of photosensitive “tiles”. Prior to installation, the tiles needed to be stored in a specialized “wrapper” for protection. Thus, the NIU team had designed a custom Production Punch- a piece of machinery used to punch out the wrappers in the appropriate shape.
