Technical experts of COMAC recently paid a visit to CTI in Lentzweiler/Luxembourg for the factory acceptance test of one of the four teleplatforms. Actually, before leaving CTI's production facility, the sophisticated systems are assembled and tested in full working order. CTI’s equipment is designed and expected to meet high quality standards before it will be released for dispatch.

The teleplatform with a lifting height of 10800 mm and a working platform size of 6100 x 3550 mm was assembled in the test tower which was especially built for this purpose in 2005. Functional and operational checks on all components were carried out. Also the manufacturing quality was submitted for verification.

After nearly seven days of intensive examination, COMAC’s experts were visibly satisfied with the result and were impressed by CTI’s high level of engineering and manufacturing.
