MODIFIED ROTABLE ACACIA CONE

Scanning of the Acacia was completed in 2 hours, scans registration was completed on site to ensure all required data was collected. 3D As-built models of the existing Acacia cone were created from the scan data. New lower rotable cone section was designed and inserted into scan data of Existing Acacia cone for confirmation. Detail & fabrication drawings were created and the rotable cone section was fabricated and delivered to site on time for shutdown.


OBJECTIVE
  • Design rotable lower cone section to be flange fitted to existing Cone.
  • Fabricate & Rubber Line in Batam and ship to Australia.
  • Supply MDR & Detail design drawings for change management.
  
TIME FRAME
  • Scans completed in 2 hours, Post processing completed in 12 hours.
  • 3D Models and Detail Drawings completed in 40 hours.

DELIVERABLES
  • Fully fabricated cone section, delivered on time for shutdown.
  • Full MDR & detail design / manufacturing drawings.

BENEFITS

As this was a retro fit design to an existing OEM asset no drawings existed, the use of 3D laser scanning allowed us to obtain all necessary data to design a new cone section to fit exactly as desired.
