Proof — analysed before it’s machined

A dragline sheave wheel modelled and FEA-checked in house — optimised before the borer ever turns.

One verified set of numbers, from drawing office to floor.

SolidWorks 3D modelling and FEA structural analysis, drafting to AS1100, conceptual and workshop drawings for new and reverse-engineered products, and design optimisation that removes the stress concentrations that cause failures.

The drawing office sits inside the workshop and supports all seven departments — so the shop floor and the client work to one verified set of numbers.

FEA and design optimisation

Analysis before metal. Components are modelled in SolidWorks and run through finite-element structural analysis, so the stress concentrations that cause failures are found — and designed out — before anything is cut.

Drafting to AS1100 — new and reverse-engineered

Conceptual and workshop drawings are drafted to AS1100-1992 — for new products, and for reverse-engineered components measured up from the part itself when no drawing exists. The toolset is SolidWorks, FEA and AutoCAD.

A drawing office on the workshop floor

Engineering at ABC isn’t a separate building. The office supports all seven departments on the same floor — workshop drawings go straight to the trades, cutting profiles are prepared to be sent out for profile cutting, and the QA package carries the same verified numbers the drawing started with.

  • SupportsAll 7 departments · one floor
  • OutputWorkshop drawings and cutting profiles — prepared for the floor and for external profile cutting
  • RecordsOne verified set of numbers, office to QA

Engineering capability, line by line

Fewer hard numbers than the machine shop — so here is exactly what the drawing office runs, and what each tool is for. Read it like a calibration sheet.
