Redesign of their NFPA Cylinder as a welded cylinder<\/h2>\n

The customer had quality problems with their NFPA cylinders used for clamping the material layers during the blade manufacturing process.\u00a0 Many of the NFPA cylinders they received from their original manufacturer would not hold up to the repeated cycles and vibrations experienced during the production process.\u00a0 Therefore, all cylinders had to be tested multiple times prior to use and would still continue to fail. The cylinders would come loose, releasing the clamping effect on the material, and needed to be changed, delaying the blade assembly process.\u00a0 This consistent failure would add significant time and cost to the blade assembly process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n

Benefits of our solution\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Our solution was to replace the original cylinder with a welded cylinder designed specifically for the application.\u00a0 The new cylinder had fewer parts that could vibrate loose during the blade production process.\u00a0 The persistent leaks were eliminated allowing the cylinder to maintain its clamping force during the entire production cycle.\u00a0 To ensure the assembled cylinder would meet the strict requirements, as part of our manufacturing process, the cylinders were cycled 700 times before being released for shipment to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>

\r\n 80% <\/h3>\r\n
\n Time savings for testing by receiveing the cylinders already tested. <\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

\r\n 0% <\/h3>\r\n
\n The number of cylinder failures dropped to 0% before releasing the equipment for shipment.\u00a0<\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

\r\n 120h\/week <\/h3>\r\n
\n Our tested welded cylinders were priced competively and the gain from the costumer came from the reduction in testing time by 120 hours per week.\u00a0<\/div>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
