DIE LOADING ANALYSIS SIMULATION (DLAS)

Artech Engineering Inc (AEI) is currently developing a system to upload press tonnage data for detailed loading reviews. This system will regularly check mechanical and hydraulic press loading. Maintaining proper loading will extend the life of your presses. This system follows the IoT architecture. Contact us for more information.

 

MOVABLE BRIDGE ENGINEERING SUPPORT

Engineering support includes translation of repair planning documents into manufacturing drawings with complete details and bill of materials.  Old documentation is typically converted to 3-D solid designs.

DESIGN AND MODIFICATIONS TO DRIVE TRAINS 

We provide detailed Engineering Analysis and Design for special drive trains that include linkage components, shafting, gears, bearings, cams, keyways, and special mounting requirements. These designs are used in existing drives to modify torque capacity and speeds, or for new concept clean sheet design requirements.

CUSTOM AUTOMATION USING SOLIDWORKS   

Artech Engineering Inc (AEI) has developed this design concept working directly with the end user. All activities up until the final installation were supported by AEI.  The Design, Engineering Analysis, Bill of Material,  and Manufacturing Details were generated using SOLIDWORKS. The design allows for rotation and moving an enclosure from one floor of a building to the next floor below.

Kinematics and Finite Element Analysis

Artech Engineering Inc has conducted Engineering studies that integrates kinematic data with Finite Element Analysis so that complete load histories are considered. The following press drive component is part of a special linkage that applies full tonnage across three points of support. The large bore includes non-linear interface elements (gaps) for a more accurate solution.
