We at Northeast Machinery Network Inc. take pride in creating concept design and executing custom builds.
One of our clients showed us a few photos of a decrepit, old, flimsy piece of equipment that was being used to rewind their foam product at another plant. The foam is made into rolls of various thickness and width, then run through a corrugator to slice it through the middle as it creates a corrugated surface.
This process made the two inner faces scalloped and the product needed to be rewound into roll form coming out of the machine.
We sat with the client on several occasions to discuss how to create an efficient operation. The perspective we gained was that they wanted something far better than what was available in that unit and, of course, they had a budget.
We began the design process with a simple meeting of our staff to discuss the project. Several designs were passed around until we arrived at a consensus. We then made CAD drawings to show the basic design to the client for feedback. The response was very positive, so we pursued the idea and gathered the details required to design the machine dimensionally. After several more conferences with the client they agreed to go ahead with the build. We gathered sufficient information to begin the process and scheduled the work.
Over the next several weeks we built framework and components, we began to shape the machine and give form to its function. It is typical for clients to request changes during the process, and so modifications were made along the way to achieve the goal.
Upon completion the machine was tested on our facility floor prior to shipping and performed well in a static environment so we were confident it
was time to bring it onto the production floor.
Working closely with the production team in house we linked the drive systems together in a master / slave configuration to provide the winder with product. We helped the team work through the procedures required to use the machine and developed an SOP together that was highly efficient and productive beyond the initial scope.
