New design freedom in the item Engineeringtool
Even more flexibility, even more options – the item Engineeringtool now allows users to integrate panels into their engineering projects. This latest addition from the experts in digital engineering is a direct response to specific customer requirements. In just a few clicks, frames can be expanded and new elements such as machine cabins, doors, hatches, shelves and custom tables designed. As a result, projects can be carried out digitally from start to finish. At the end, users can have comprehensive documentation automatically generated in the Engineeringtool and directly order their complete construction.
Faster, simpler, more convenient – the item Engineeringtool now helps you take care of even more engineering tasks. With immediate effect, users can now integrate panel elements into their digital designs. Although incorporating panels is a very complex task when using a CAD program, for instance, the item Engineeringtool makes the whole process fast and straightforward. First, the user puts the fastening elements they want to use in the relevant positions, then the software adds the required machining work automatically – as usual – and the panel is placed. Job done.
Calculating panel dimensions – fast
Integrating panel elements in conventional engineering programs requires extensive product know-how. The designer needs a very detailed understanding of the fastening components and how they work. All elements must be placed separately and the gaps between panels and profiles need to be calculated in a very complex process. The corresponding details are also needed for machining work and for positioning additional fastening elements such as screws. What’s more, the size of the panel needs to be determined. All that costs time, effort and money. The latest update to the item Engineeringtool considerably simplifies and speeds up these processes. Users insert a Multiblock, for example, at the desired locations. Panels can be fitted flush, recessed or located on the profile. The gaps and the panel sizes then almost calculate themselves. Table-Top Fastening Brackets and Table-Top Fastening Sets can also be placed on a design, allowing users to engineer tables with custom dimensions.
Versatile application options and rapid results
Whether machine cabins, enclosures for machinery, cabinets, racks with shelves and doors, enclosed trolleys, doors for cupboards and cabins, simple tables or CIP boards – being able to incorporate panels makes a lot more applications possible. As a result, item is adding important components to the Engineeringtool and expanding its portfolio to offer customers an end-to-end digital procurement experience. The placement and design functions for panels deliver optimum process workflows and short throughput times. The online tool automatically generates all the necessary documentation. Once users have completed their design, the panels can be ordered directly, just like all other components. Ultimately, not only do customers benefit from digital ordering processes, they also enjoy short delivery times.
