Free online tools from ACE in practice
In many companies, digitalization and the lean management approach are seen as a welcome slimming cure. How digital progress is simplifying design processes is demonstrated above all by solutions designed from the user's perspective. Configuration and calculation programs from ACE and two real-life cases serve as examples.
ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH provides design engineers with a product portfolio that goes beyond damping technology. ACE provides free digital services for the configuration and design of its components for virtually any design 24/7 on its homepage.
In addition, ACE's commercial customers can use the online store linked to the tools on the ACE homepage to seamlessly order the products determined by the design at the click of a mouse and have them delivered by parcel service in a short space of time.
This was the approach chosen by an ACE customer who uses a spiral conveyor in an automated production process. During operation, vibrations were transmitted to an aluminum frame. The result was a disturbing humming sound. The customer found the ideal solution within a few minutes on the ACE homepage. All he had to do was enter a few key data. Since then, four vibration isolators have exceeded the customer's desired vibration isolation of 90 percent and reliably decoupled the source of vibration.
Theoretically, in this case the vibration measurement could also have been determined quickly and easily on site using ACE's own app, VibroChecker. The Langenfeld-based company offers this free app in three languages for iPhones and iPads and, with an additional small utility program, also for desktop computers.
Materials also had to be separated from each other in a second application. This time, the task was to decouple two several-tonne blast wheel systems from the concrete floor. Vibration-isolating SLAB panels were retrofitted underneath the systems to prevent vibrations from being transmitted from the systems to the concrete floor and thus affecting sensitive roughness measuring devices and personnel in the adjacent measuring room.
In this case, SLAB 720 type panels were determined for the larger blast wheel system and specific dimensions for the smaller SLAB 600 using the calculation software, which can also be found online free of charge. With standard densities of 720 or 600 kg/m³ and a material thickness of 25 mm, they are now able to eliminate the vibrations that occur to such an extent that they can no longer be felt in the adjacent measuring room.
