Mechanical assembly
Specialized equipment was used to correctly shape the aluminum tubular elements
to guarantee the structural integrity of the
LOOP ANTENNA.
T.I.G. (Tungsten Inert Gas) was used to ensure optimal
contact and strength.
The only movable section in the loop is at the bottom.
The specially-shaped blade, made of stainless steel, is
anchored on each semi-loop with three stainless bolts
and anti-oxide paste is applied in the contact point.
The robust mast clamp is made from stainless steel and
supports a pole from ø 50 to 60mm
(2.0in
– 2.3in).
The
MIDI LOOP
is built in four sections and to ensure contact between these
sections, precision grooved flanges are used.
