Projects
Pro Stainless
Mechanical design and standards compliance check for range of stainless steel mobile access systems.
Needs
PRO Stainless are industry leaders in stainless steel fabrication, specialising in the design and fabrication of equipment for cleanroom & hygienic environment applications, architectural metalwork, and bespoke production components. Pro Stainless had the opportunity to supply a range of mobile access systems designed specifically for use within cleanrooms. Pro Stainless had the expertise and capacity to fabricate the access systems, however their mechanical design team were at capacity and were not familiar with the EN standards applicable to mobile access systems.
Approach
Pro Stainless had worked with Project Engineering previously and were aware of our ability to take-on complex design tasks such as the mobile access system. To avoid significant delay to the project, Pro Stainless reached out. We promptly developed a project plan to produce full fabrication files while working closely with select members of staff at Pro Stainless to ensure the final designs met the expectations of their customer.
Design
The mechanical design engineers at Project Engineering used Autodesk Inventor for design of the mobile access system. This is the same software used by PRO Stainless engineers, allowing native file sharing and seamless design collaboration.
Throughout the project, Project Engineering issued regular design updates for discussion and feedback from Pro Stainless and their customer. Once the designs were approved by all parties we produced assembly, sub-assembly, and individual part drawings for fabrication along with DXF files for sheet metal profiling.
Result
By choosing Project Engineering to aid in the development of the mobile access system range, Pro Stainless were able to complete this project within a reasonable time frame while continuing their existing in-house design projects. Furthermore, Pro Stainless were assured that the mobile access system range complied with the requirements of the relevant EN standards and European directives.
Project Engineering have successfully completed many such design and compliance projects for Pro Stainless who have become a regular client.
