FEATURED PROJECTS
Mueller Platforms
Build platforms around CNC milling machines and lathes at optimal height for machine operator ergonomics, safety, and efficiency.
Machines were not square. Instead, they were heavily contoured and had angled shapes that the platform has to snugly fit up against.
The platforms spanned a large area of floor that was completely uneven and unleveled.
THE CHALLENGE:
Worked with the Mueller manufacturing engineers to determine the optimal height of the platform to the work window and how far to wrap it around the machine.
Worked with a detailer to design the platform in a way that allowed us to make the platform frame square, cantilever the pieces of grating over the frame, and “cope” the edges around the contours of the machine.
Used a magnetic drill, leveling feet, and a laser level to make the platform a consistent, level height all the way across the surface area of the platform. We supported and bolted down the platform in each required location.
OUR SOLUTION:
Accurate and Efficient Execution: Careful planning and accurate fabrication made installing the platforms a smooth, quick job that delivered results and minimized machine downtime
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
Mueller Machine Guards
Provide custom guards to a rod cutter machine to protect worker appendages
Avoid impeding machine function and range of motion.
Keep all controls accessible
Prevent forklifts from pushing large, heavy containers of cut rods into the side of the machine, while getting them close enough to collect the cut rods
THE CHALLENGE:
Created a long “C-shaped” cover guard to protect workers from getting their hands crushed by the pile of rods rolling onto the conveyor belt, but we cut out custom slots for buttons and controls to be accessible.
Created a small custom-shaped bolt-on guard at the mouth of the machine that allows the rods to spit out of the machine once cut, but prevents workers from putting their hands or other objects into the blades.
Created a custom bollard fence which we bolted to the floor, to act as a barrier to prevent forklifts from hitting the machine
OUR SOLUTION:
High Quality Standards: We had to problem solve on site because the C-shaped guard wasn’t as sturdy as our high quality standards require. We added extra brackets and drilled extra holes onsite to address the issue.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
Vanguard Hoist
Design and implement a complex, precise, unique part for proprietary manufacturing processes.
THE CHALLENGE:
We worked with an excellent team including a machinist, an engineer, a detailer, and a metal supplier with a CNC laser cutter to meet the client’s unique need.
OUR SOLUTION:
Community Mindset: We got to pull together a hometown team of skilled workers in diverse businesses.
