Many companies use CAD software for the design of steel shipping racks. SPS Ideal Solutions, Inc. takes this to a new level by conducting stress design confirmation. The continual investment made in new SolidWorks CAD programs allows us to analyze the load capacity of stock as well as custom designed products.

Scope of SolidWorks

Stress testing on the SolidWorks program is used to assess every aspect of the design for vertical stress impact. This includes testing weldments, metal tubes, corners, joints, contact points, and beam lengths.

Stress Analysis Process with SolidWorks

The following is a brief run-through of the process followed by SPS Ideal Solutions to load test every rack manufactured:

• The program allows selection of any point on the design. The product load on the supporting members and the framework can then be tested for stacking capacity.
• Once the points on the design are selected, the program runs the “weighted

SolidWorks & Mixed Geometry

In this process, we compare the changes in metal deflection to the base strength of the metal being tested. All the known data regarding the load bearing capacities of various types of metal are stored in the SolidWorks system. The figures for different dimensions of metal structures are simultaneously calculated and inputted in the same system. For example, each tube of a specific material, size, and thickness requires a known amount of force to effect its collapse or bending. These figures are stored in the system allowing the software to recall or ‘remember’ the information depending on the material and dimensions of metal being tested.

Since a rack is a combination of a variety of solid, hollow, and sheet metal components like screws, beams, locks, etc., calculation of load capacity can be difficult. This mixed geometry comprises various materials, dimensions, and physical attributes. SolidWorks uses the information fed into the system to ascertain the load bearing capacity of the entire rack.

Beyond the Scope of Stress Analysis

SolidWorks is used throughout the design and manufacturing phases. In order to ensure excellent product development, we utilize this program to aid us in manufacturing parts without any defects. This machine also nullifies human error by guiding our manufacturing process to produce identical parts. SolidWorks moves beyond the scope of stress analysis and into manufacturing and product development.

Benefits of Tringe Corners

Your racking system can benefit from tringe corners in the following ways:

• Tringe corners can be integrated with almost any type of rack.
• Racks with tringe corners are easy to operate. In-depth training is not required to operate them.
• The corners are always attached to the rack (non-removable). Hence, there is no chance of losing them.
• The tringe system allows ease of loading and unloading. This reduces human effort.
• In the vertical position, the tringe allows the collapsible vertical bars to keep the product from being damaged.
• In the final position, the tringe folds inwards. This allows the entire rack to be folded in a horizontal manner. In this position, many racks can be stacked on top of one another. This reduces cost of shipping.
• This feature can be incorporated in racks used specifically for shipping or storage.

Applications of Tringe Corner Racks

The tringe corners when integrated with racks allow for multiple functionalities. These racks can be used for the following products:

• Boxes and cartons
• Flat material like heaps of paper, cloth, etc.

The customization process unfolds in the following manner:

1. Inquiry – The first step to any order placement is client interest. The customization process begins with an inquiry from a client.
2. Knowledge Transfer – This is an in-depth process wherein we get a complete idea of the client, product, and their expectations. Here, all the technical product-related information as well as the aesthetic design-related information is discussed. This is a two-way process – the client provides us with the details of the operation, product specifications, and more. The value addition on our end is presented in the form of better solutions. We first look at their current requirements or predicaments. Based on our experience and knowledge, we then provide reliable solutions. For the common goal of manufacturing best-in-class products. Below are some of the factors taken into consideration to define the technical specifications of the product:
   
   • Products to be stored in the rack
   • Entry for fork truck or hand truck
   • Loading and unloading procedures
   • Shipping distance and manner of shipping
   • Number of products to be stacked
   • Will the rack be stored in warehouse racks?
   
   These are some of the basic points that will help us gain maximum clarity regarding the project. The structural design of the product is decided in accordance with these requirements.
3. Detailed Information – For product designing and manufacturing, we use the cutting edge software, SolidWorks. CAD images are needed to support the several processes used to design a product. The drawings allow us to build around the image, capturing the contact support locations and keeping clear of other parts. Hence, for component parts, we expect our clients to provide us with CAD images.
4. First Draft – Based on the knowledge transfer, we tailor a design for the client. The proposed product seeks to solve to all the problems faced by the client.
5. First Review – The first product drawing is reviewed with the client. During the review, we identify changes or improvements to be made.
6. Second Draft – According to the first review, adjustment, if any, are made to the design drawing. The second draft is perfected in accordance with these changes.
7. Second Review – The second draft will be reviewed with the client. This process is repeated until the client is satisfied. Generally, one or two reviews are sufficient to finalize the design.
8. Implementation of Design – Once the design has been finalized, we manufacture the actual product.
