Real World Case Study: Hydraulics
Note: Due to ongoing client relationships and NDAs, some information in this case study has been anonymized.
The Project: While designing a machine that automatically strips and cuts a 35-foot-long boom to the correct length, I used an innovative design of hydraulics for automation and precision.
The Challenges: This machine had excessive heat generation which caused the oil to overheat. The cuts on the boom had to be within ⅛ inch tolerances, and hydraulic machinery is not normally used for this degree of precision.
The Solution: I reduced heat generation by implementing a torque-limiting pump to get maximum flow at any pressure and modulate the standby load sense signal. I developed a table indexing system using the hydraulic motor. I had to “trick” it a little to give repeatable precise for cuts. Lastly, I incorporated multiple safety devices to prevent injury.
The Result: The company can now safely and efficiently have a 20-minute cycle for stripping and cutting a boom, whereas previously it used multiple machines and took over 45 minutes. This has increased efficiency by over 50%.
