Pulley Design Optimisation

Pulley Design Optimisation

Customer challenge

Melco Conveyor Equipment design and model specific components with inventor. Following which they generate shop detail drawings. The shop detail drawings would be used to remodel the design or component in order for them to generate a suitable G-code. Based on the order book, and complexity this information transfer would take approximately half a production day, to “line-up” different design and to ensure all machines are loaded. The transfer of data left Melco Conveyor Equipment exposed to mistakes/errors and high scrap percentages.

Project goals

Melco Conveyor Equipment had to achieve a system that could take the design from the designers screen to the machine, with little to no interference in the process. The solution should ensure the design integrity with the and improve factory throughput.

Solution

Autodesk Fusion 360 was identified as the most suitable solution for Melco Conveyor Equipment's requirement. However, there were concerns around the post processors and machine age. Irshad was a fantastic support during the assessment and investigation and we were left assured that we had no reason for concern.

Business outcome

Implementation was not without problems, one of our products could not achieve the required design. Autodesk and Irshad assisted with the solution. We are still busy assessing the times, and scrap but all evidence shows that the implementation has achieved the required outcomes

Conclusion

"I am very satisfied with what was achieved in this process. Micrographics, and specifically Irshad have been absolutely fantastic during this process, assisting through problems and finding and researching solutions. I must say as a solution that completely changed a work process that has been in place for more than 10 years, adoption of the Autodesk Fusion 360 was very simple and the solution well received. I think there could be many more solutions that could add value to our organization. " Enver

The Astratek Group is multi-disciplinary in nature, and are often faced with challenges that require collaboration between the fabrication and design arm of the company group. But often workflow is interrupted where particular software within the Autodesk family does not transfer accurately or at all. An example of which would be the fragmented relationship between Revit, Inventor and Advance Steel.
