CONTEXT

Pro Pac Industries, a major company in the forestry domain, wanted to carry out a major upgrade of its product line.

CHALLENGES

To meet their needs and obtain assistance in the design and improvement of various delimber head models, they called on Merkur’s numerical simulation experts.

ASSIGNMENT

Our numerical simulation experts, in collaboration with Pro Pac Industries, established load cases that accurately represent the forces experienced by the delimber head

They then carried out a comparative structural analysis of two versions. Following this analysis, the structure of the new Delimber Head was optimized to reduce stress on weak points and improve performance based on the criteria established by the Pro Pac Industries team.

RESULTS

Reduction in product development costs.

OBJECTIVE AND ACTIONS

Finite Element Analysis of a Delimber Head under Static Loads

Établissement des cas de chargement qui représentent bien les efforts exercés sur la tête ébrancheuse, améliorations du design pour la tête ébrancheuse qui rencontrent les requis de performance, développement d’un design ayant la capacité nécessaire à l’exercice de la fonction de la tête ébrancheuse et réduction des contraintes dans les points de faiblesse à la suite des recommandations concernant le design.

  • Tranquillité d’esprit grâce à l’expertise en simulation pour réaliser le projet
  • Assurer l’optimisation des matériaux pour améliorer le niveau de la performance du produit
  • Assurer l’optimisation de concept de produit à la suite des recommandations d’experts Merkur
