BauhallenTEAM(+)

Bauhallenteam is searching for team support.
Interviews are in progress and we expect to have an additional team member in June/July. Two top candidates are in selection.

HPQ – Specifications

There is an issue with the planned final location of the Hexapod. The problem are the high vibration criteria required by the new HPQ building. (Infomation: https://www.motioncontroltips.com/what-are-vibration-criteria-and-vc-curves/)

It is not clear yet if the Hexapod can be positioned in Bauhalle or on Hönggerberg at all.
Also unclear is, if the requirements can be fulfilled with the existing machines in Bauhalle. Discussions are ongoing including Group Chatzi, PHYS and Abteilung Bauten.
