Ultra-precise alignment lasers for mechanical engineering and revolutionary optical processors developed by Western companies continue to find their way into Russia despite international sanctions The Insider has discovered that European companies and citizens are complicit in this process facilitated the import into Russia of ultra-precise T-430 alignment lasers made by the German company Status Pro Maschinenmesstechnik GmbH These devices are essential for calibrating high-precision metalworking machines Rodriguez not only arranged the shipments but also personally delivered the devices to Russia The customs documents contained minimal personal information about him The T-430 self-leveling scanning laser is used to check straightness It boasts accuracy of up to 1 micron per meter and positioning precision down to 1 nanometer making it indispensable for complex metalworking operations The buyer in Russia was Firma Tvema JSC (АО «Фирма Твема») which specializes in diagnostic equipment for railway infrastructure Z-Laser devices produce structured light beams in the form of lines working in conjunction with industrial cameras These systems help detect defects and measure dimensions and shapes of parts Their applications extend beyond metalworking to quality control and defect detection Initially focused on supplying instruments for the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Scientific Equipment group has shifted in recent years to working with government agencies. In 2023, the company secured a 589-million-ruble contract to supply an automated measurement complex for NPP Gamma which services Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) and Interior Ministry The WaveShaper optical processor processes signals at frequencies up to several terahertz — dozens of times faster than current electronic solutions These devices are critical for artificial intelligence According to the Serbian commercial registry the co-owners of the firm are are Snezhana Elinek and Rostislav Atkov The Scientific Equipment group of companies — which includes Scientific Instruments and Systems LLC — has been under U.S. sanctions since May 2024 We really need your help!
