RoboHelix Helical Coiling Machine Design
In the precision-driven world of manufacturing, the RoboHelix helical coiling machine represents a leap forward in coil production technology. Engineered to craft high-quality helical coils with exceptional accuracy, this machine serves vital applications across industries like automotive and electronics. Our team contributed significantly to this project by creating detailed manufacturing drawings that enabled suppliers to construct the machine to exact specifications.
The RoboHelix project aimed to design an advanced machine capable of coiling fine wires with tight tolerances. Our primary task was to produce comprehensive manufacturing drawings for each component, ensuring suppliers could fabricate and assemble the machine accurately.
Hayel and team used SolidWorks to develop 3D models based on initial design requirements. Through iterative refinement and collaboration with design engineers, they optimised the machine’s components for performance and manufacturability. Parametric modeling techniques allowed us to create adaptable designs, facilitating seamless adjustments during the process.
Our manufacturing drawings were the cornerstone of the production phase, providing suppliers with all necessary details, including:
Multiple views (front, top, side, isometric) to illustrate part geometry
Precise dimensions with tolerances
Material and surface finish specifications
Notes on manufacturing processes (e.g., welding, machining)
We adhered to ISO 128 standards, ensuring clarity and consistency for global suppliers.
A key challenge was depicting the coiling mechanism's complex curvature. Through meticulous calculations, prototype testing, and teamwork with engineers, we refined the design and accurately captured these intricate details in our drawings.
We maintained proactive communication with suppliers, offering prompt clarifications and revisions when needed. This collaboration ensured the manufacturing process ran smoothly, minimising delays and misunderstandings.
Every drawing underwent a rigorous review process:
Self-checks by the drafter to catch initial errors
Peer reviews for a fresh perspective
Senior engineer's approval to verify technical accuracy
This multi-step approach guaranteed high-quality, error-free drawings for suppliers.
Thanks to our precise manufacturing drawings, the RoboHelix machine was successfully built and is now operational, producing helical coils that meet stringent quality standards. We delivered all drawings on time throughout the project, keeping the manufacturing process on track.
Our team of skilled mechanical designers and drafters brought expertise in CAD software, manufacturing processes, and quality control. Their proficiency and dedication were critical to the project’s success.
The RoboHelix project highlights the essential role of detailed manufacturing drawings in turning innovative designs into reality. Our commitment to precision and quality ensured the successful production of a machine that advances helical coiling technology.
