THE “ASK”
Schneider Electric had conveyor rollers that were worn out. Their OEM would not make any replacements because they were requesting a smaller batch of rollers–basically just the componentry, rather than recreating the entire conveyer line system. They asked that we reverse engineer the rollers.The second request was a rack that holds shaker trays. This is where they collect bi-product from the stamping operation.
WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT THE SPECS
We sourced and fabricated the componentry including sourcing urethane coating and grinding. It’s what provides the grip to move the pieces across it. We turned the rod and end caps on the lathe, cutting the cooling to secondary source for urethane coating and grinding.
