Challenges

The client approached DGS seeking help in re-design of turning roll assembly to reduce the price of their existing products of having load capacity of 30, 60 and 90 ton

• Made comparison chart between desired product and existing product, listed gaps in the existing design.
• Prepared design calculation sheet to re-size wheels, wheel shafts, worm gear and worm of gear box system, drive shafts for 4 positions of wheel assembly to place vessels of different size range.
• Re designed drive shaft to form a telescopic drive shaft
• Selected couplings, bearings to withstand axial and radial loads and electric motor.
• Changed contact angle between wheels and vessel to accommodate large vessels
• Replaced Pulleys with perpendicular gear box system for the speed reduction, which resulted in compact design.
• Concepts are made to place lead screw to move the wheel assembly from its one position to another position.
• All concepts were supported by the hand calculations to arrive at the proper sizing and effort required for the movement.
• Created parts, assembly and drawings of turning rolls in a CAD tool as per client requirement
• Conducted DFM, DFA and FEA on major sub-systems / aggregate level to validate designs and reduce costs

Key Features  & Benefites

• 26% cost reduction of the turning roll assembly
• 50% of human efforts by standardizing most of the parts
• Supported in Supply chain activities as our subsidiary companies have Manufacturing facilities
