Y-axis beam of the CNC cutting and drilling machine

Expectations: Maximum stiffness with minimum weight, taking into account the customer’s manufacturing capabilities. My role: Concept development and optimisation 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 optimise 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
