Project profiles
Continous Pipe Supply System
Background
- Alberta based manufacturer
- Base Materials: Steel Pipe & Steel Plate
- Employ 6 welder/fitters & 3 material preparation
- 1,000+ parts in one main product line
- $500,000+ in annual scrap costs
- Part cutting bottleneck & quality issues
- Build to orders, minimal inventory
- Rural area: Difficult to ramp up & down
Results
- Virtually zero scrap
- Repeatable & accurate
- Bottleneck eliminated
- Material preparation personnel now robot operators
- Can more easily ramp production up & down
- ROI : 8 Months
Automatic Chain Saw Bar Heat Treatment System
Design Requirements
- Capable of heat treating 20,000+ chain saw bars per year
- Operable by almost anyone (reduced labor rate)
- 100+ variations in bar geometry
- Control oxy-acetylene flow & pressure
- Control coolant, flow, integrity & temperature
- Provide sufficient control over all variables to allow for perfecting the process in the future
Innovative Solutions
- Uses two flames
- Senses bar temperature to control process speed ensuring consistant quenching and hardness
