Excavators have truly revolutionized the construction industry in more ways than one. These machines are designed to be highly functional, efficient, and versatile, making them ideal for various applications. From digging and grading to demolition and heavy lifting, excavators are a staple piece of equipment for any construction project.
One of the key components of an excavator is the arm assembly. This is the part of the machine responsible for moving the bucket, which is used for digging and lifting materials. The arm assembly typically consists of several components, including the tracks, cab, big and small arms, bucket, and piston base and extension.
Designing and assembling such a complex system requires advanced engineering knowledge and expertise. Design engineers must create a functional and durable assembly that can withstand heavy use and strain. This is where programs like NX come into play. NX is a powerful CAD software that allows engineers to design and simulate complex systems with precision and accuracy.
Design Visionaries recently published an article on excavator arm assemblies made in NX from a design engineer's point of view. The adjustable assembly is controlled from the Expressions Editor of the assembly with a series of angular constraints with high and low values. The main part is the excav_assy, with the other components working together to create a seamless and efficient system.
For companies like Fortune Group, who have been engaged in the auto and construction machinery industry for 36 years, the quality of the bolts, nuts, king pin kits, and undercarriage parts they supply to OEM machine brands like Mercedes Benz, Weichai, Sino Truck, KOBELCO, SHANTUI, and more is of utmost importance. These parts must be designed to withstand the toughest conditions and work seamlessly with the other components of the excavator.
With advanced CAD software programs like NX and the expertise of experienced design engineers, companies like Fortune Group can continue to produce quality parts that keep excavators running smoothly and efficiently. As the construction industry continues to evolve, so too will the designs and technologies used to create the machines that make it all possible.
