Y-axis beam of the CNC cutting and drilling machine

2024

New Y-axis beam of a new type of CNC machine.

Expectations

Maximum stiffness with minimum weight, taking into account the customer’s manufacturing capabilities.

My role:

  • Concept development and optimization of the beam structure
  • Multiple FEM analyses (stiffness vs. mass)
  • Generation of several variants of the new beam
  • Comparative FEM analysis of proposed solutions
  • Selection of a single solution
  • Proposal of further modifications to optimize results
  • Comparative FEM analysis of proposed solutions
  • Selection of the best solution
  • Final technical design
  • Preparation of manufacturing drawings with GD&T and welding symbols
  • Application of DFM principles for welded structure
