Bespoke load-bearing machine
The problem
The client required a bespoke machine capable of performing a specific, unusual motion that could not be achieved using existing equipment on the market. The system would be subject to repeated heavy loads, requiring a robust and reliable mechanical design. A custom solution was needed to deliver the required motion while ensuring structural integrity, durability, and practical manufacturability.
Our solution
A bespoke machine was designed to deliver the required motion while maintaining strength and reliability under repeated heavy loads. The system incorporated an adjustable and flexible mechanical design to accommodate different user positions and operating conditions. The machine was developed in CAD with custom components, structural considerations, and manufacturing practicality in mind to create a robust and adaptable solution.
Key considerations
Key considerations included lifecycle performance, fatigue under repeated loading, wear of moving components, and ease of maintenance over time. The design also needed to reliably achieve the required function while remaining robust, practical to manufacture, and durable in long-term use.
