Problem: Chamfer Cutter
A wind blade manufacturer needed a special cutting machine for glass fabrics which were used in monolithic parts of the blades to include many layers overlapped and creating an unwanted extra laminate thickness.
BTU-TECH Approach
BTU-TECH were guided to make a working simple solution but also being cost-effective.
RESULT
The end result was the “Chamfer Cutter” that precisely cut the glass fabrics with a certain angle so that its thickness was going down to zero from its original thickness allowing two layers overlapping on the thinned section with no extra thickness in the laminate.
Problem: Paper Tube Cutter
The fabric manufacturer customer produced fabrics at variety of widths depending on customer requests which led him to cut paper tube cores with a simple cutter but deteriorating the quality of the paper core and leading to other problems.
BTU-TECH Approach
With a limited budget, BTU-TECH had to develop a smart, simple and cost effective core cutter.
RESULT
BTU-TECH developed a semi-automatic design allowing the operator to cut any length and diameter of tubes without a metal shaft, thus making the design unique among the paper core tube cutters.
Problem: Core Kit & Panel Printer
A core kit manfacturer for wind blades were marking their core kits with pens and manually. This was not only time consuming but also led to unreadable info as well.
BTU-TECH Approach
Since big size CNC labelling tables cost a lot with their expensive ink-jet heads, BTU-TECH had to develop a smart and affordable solution.
RESULT
The result was a “Core Kit & Panel Printer” which worked as a plotter with a very simple CNC mechanism and also was able to incorporate the very same boardmarker pen as the writing tool so that the customer avoided expensive and complex ink-jet heads.
Problem: Coating Line
A reinforcement manufacturer needed a special coating line to apply adhesive on their fabrics.
BTU-TECH Approach
After hearing the customer’s needs in detail, BTU-TECH adapted its unwinding & winding know-how but also designed integration of the 3rd party’s adhesive dispensing technology and light fixing to the line.
RESULT
The result was a complete coating line including the unwinding of the control, coating, fixing, adding of release paper and winding at the end. The whole system worked perfectly in harmony.
