Key Technologies
Custom-Designed Monorail Conveyor - New monorail system seamlessly integrated into existing system.
Result
Streamlined production, reduced manual handling, and significant boost in throughput.
Seamless monorail integration for precision coating operations.
When a leading supplier of high-performance coatings needed to integrate a monorail conveyor system into their dipping process, they turned to Advanced Equipment Company (AEC) for a solution.
Ivar Lonon, a seasoned material handling and conveyor expert at Advanced Equipment, played a pivotal role in this project, ensuring the seamless integration of the monorail system into the supplier’s existing setup.
Challenge: Develop new parts dipping process.
Our customer faced the challenge of developing a dipping process for a unique, large part without any existing dip tanks. Their goal was to seamlessly integrate the new system with their current monorail conveyor setup, utilizing the existing drive, take-up, and chain.
This project demanded meticulous planning and tailored solutions to fit within the available horizontal floor space and accommodate future tank dimensions.
Solution: Custom fit conveyor upgrade to existing monorail system.
Ivar accepted the challenge and began gathering detailed information about the supplier of the existing monorail equipment, understanding that the new system needed to be compatible with the existing drive and chain. Next, he requested the length and height of the future dip tanks from the customer and inquired about the available horizontal floor space for the new setup. This information was necessary for designing a system that would fit perfectly within the client’s constraints.
Through analyzing the collected data, Ivar created a detailed layout in CAD. This initial drawing served as a working model for envisioning the design along with revisions. By closely collaborating with our customer and refining the design, Ivar ensured that every detail met the specific requirements of the project.
After several revisions and fine-tuning, the final design was approved. Our customer then ordered the necessary materials based on Ivar’s specifications. AEC supplied the monorail material, ensuring that it was compatible with the existing setup.
Result: Streamlined production, reduced manual handling, increased throughput.
The new monorail conveyor system upgrade provided the perfect dip coating process for our customer’s unique part. The new system integrates flawlessly with the existing equipment, optimizing production by reducing manual handling and substantially increasing throughput.
This project highlights the crucial role of tailored solutions in industrial processes. Ivar Lonon’s expert knowledge and collaborative spirit were key in seamlessly incorporating the newly designed monorail conveyor system into the customer’s high-performance coating process.
