Oxygene Stealing tool trolley

About This Project

We have delivered a machine design of a Tool transfer trolley for a French Company. Our design team developed a safe, ergonomic, and easy-to-handle trolley that can load and offload tools weighing 110 kg for quick changeover.

Client requirements:

• Overall design of the trolley.
• Modification of the tool lock system to a better automatic mechanical tool lock system.
• Addition of a mechanical automatic lock for catchers between the trolley and their transfer tables.
• More ergonomic methods for height adjustment of the trolley.
• Addition of tool racks.
• Reduction of weight by structural modifications.

Scope:

• Mechanically operated parts.
• More strong trolley.
• Easy to carry the sealing tool with maximum safety.

Project highlights:

This is a mechanical trolley that is mainly used to transfer a tool of 110 kg weight for repair or regular maintenance purposes. The client was very particular about the mechanical and safety aspects of the trolley. To succeed on this enCAD technologies  designer referred a lot of research papers to come up with an optimum solution. After the research the critical parts involved were identified. To overcome this critical situations the designer made sure that  the material used for the purpose was strong enough to withstand the weight and that the  automatic mechanical locks can be locked and unlocked easily without any obstruction to the operation of other parts. Pneumatic cylinders were used to lift the trolley to the required height.

Deliverables:

The deliverables include:

• Content audit.
• Manufacturing designs and drawings.
• Modified Solid Edge files.
