TSE Industries to Develop Prototypes of Telescopic Hydraulic Cylinders for Advanced Telescopic Technologies, Inc. (ATT) Using TSE-EcoWind® Polyurethane Composite Resins
Canada's Advanced Telescopic Technologies, Inc. (ATT) has announced that it will begin development of its Telescopic Composite Cylinder Hydraulic Hoist products using the polyurethane composite resins of TSE Industries, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida.
Clearwater, Florida May 13, 2014
Canadian company, Advanced Telescopic Technologies, Inc. (ATT), has announced that it will begin development of its telescopic composite cylinder products using TSE-EcoWind® polyurethane composite resins manufactured by TSE Industries, Inc. of Clearwater, Florida. TSE was awarded the JEC Americas 2013 Innovation Award for its environmentally preferable TSE-EcoWind® polyurethane resin.
TSE-EcoWind® polyurethane composite resin makes filament wound pipes as strong and versatile as steel, yet lighter and less expensive. Products produced with TSE-EcoWind® Polyurethane Composite Resin are extremely resilient, long-lasting, surpass the specifications of existing resin technologies, and have superior burst strength (Pressure vessels-1250psi; Water Heaters-550psi). TSE's polyurethane resin is environmentally preferred to polyester and epoxy resins, being VOC, BPA and styrene-free, with ultra-low emissions.
"We have found the use of TSE-EcoWind® polyurethane composite resin and the unique application systems of TSE to be ideal for our cylinders, both in formulation and production," stated Larry Horne, ATT's Head of Project Development & Marketing. "We will be moving forward immediately with TSE, working with their R&D department to develop prototypes and testing of our multi-stage hydraulic cylinders."
Principals from the two companies first met at JEC Americas 2013, where both firms were presented with coveted Innovation Awards in their respective categories. The agreement between the two companies will be ratified at the JEC Americas 2014 Composite Show on May 14 in Atlanta.
"We couldn't be more excited to be selected by ATT to be its composite material provider of choice for this extraordinary product and are looking forward to working closely with them," said TSE President, Rick Klingel. "It further validates the innovative work our Composites Team has done in developing a powerful, versatile and environmentally preferable polyurethane resin."

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
