Demag solution increases throughput at Egyptian automotive plant

Demag had certain criteria to meet, such as increasing cycle times, explains Project Engineer and Technical Sales Representative Niki Mizen. A particular focus was the assembly process itself, which saw automotive bodies and chassis from two separate production lines being joined on a single moving line.
A chassis is conveyed along a line moving at a set number of meters per minute. The Demag project team then had to align a hoist with a single cab and load box on it with the chassis by matching the different speeds.
Demag embarked on the project in April 2012 and completed it in early 2013. This represented the single biggest order for the Port Elizabeth branch of Demag in 2012. The nine-month project included the overall design and delivery of the solution in question. The Demag project team also assisted with the existing conveyors to ensure these could be slowed down or speeded up in accordance with production targets.
A particular challenge was the design of a purpose-built hangar from where the single cabs and load boxes could be picked up from for the assembly process. Another challenge was modernising the labour-intensive approach at the plant.
The solution proposed by the Demag project team encompassed a main control system for the assembly process, from which an entire production line could be operated from. This electrical system was also upgraded to global specifications.
Demag’s flexibility in being able to respond to, and overcome, its client’s particular requirements meant that the project was completed sooner than expected. This was despite such challenges as specification and software changes, which were circumvented by on-site technicians to ensure that the project implementation went as smoothly as possible.
Even though system modernisation at automotive plants is capital-intensive at the outset, the increased cycle times that are the end result have a marked impact on profitability and productivity. “In addition, the system is virtually maintenance-free, which also enhances the cost-effectiveness of the solution offered by Demag. The experience we have gained on this major project has given us an opportunity to benchmark ourselves internationally in the automotive sector,” Mizen concludes.

Demag’s V-Type crane girder raises the stakes at Electra Mining Africa 2016

28 July 2016: Demag’s newly-launched V-Type crane girder will take centre stage at Electra Mining Africa 2016, where the crane technology leader will display its full product range.

The new V-Type crane girder was launched in Sub-Saharan Africa in March this year, following its successful debut in Europe and North America in late 2014. “We chose Electra Mining Africa 2016 as it is Sub-Saharan Africa’s premier exhibition event, which has always been well-attended,” Demag Senior Manager Sales & Marketing Richard Roughley comments.
“This is the latest innovation from a company with a long tradition of innovative products, dating back to 1819.” Roughley adds that the V-Type crane girder will be available at highly-discounted prices to exhibition visitors. “We also anticipate a large number of enquiries into our standard range,” he stresses.
Demag’s V-Type crane girder delivers safety and impressive load handling rates. Regardless of the model type selected, it can be adapted easily to any building shape. It is the ideal solution both for existing buildings, as well as for new construction projects.
Built with safety in mind, the V-Type crane girder allows 30% more light to pass through, enabling personnel to better see their surroundings, while brightening the workspace. This improved view ultimately results in a safer and more attractive working environment.
The V-Type crane girder also has a shorter time cycle, boosting productivity and overall output. It boasts several lifting points for safer installation of the load, and has more clamping and attachment points for lamps.
A particular feature of the V-Type crane girder is that tapered diaphragm joints have replace the solid box-section design of conventional cranes. Tapered diaphragm joints accommodate pressure and tensile forces more effectively to reduce resonant frequency by 30%. As a result, the V-Type crane girder is 17% lighter than comparable cranes with box-section girders.
This not only reduces the forces transmitted to the existing support superstructure, and provides architects with greater freedom when planning new building layouts, but also it improves the relative deadweight-to-load-capacity ratio, Roughley concludes.
