Manufacturing. TOOL SELECTOR TOOL CHANGER SPINDLE BEVEL PLASMA Drilled holes OXY Diameter +/-.1 mm TORCH Position +/-.5 mm Part dimension <20mm +/-1 mm >20mm +/-2 mm All liners cut from Quenched and Tempered Plate Stock will be produced on our Kinetic K5000 plasma profile cutting machine. This machine is incredibly versatile and extremely well suited for producing wear liners. We have great success maintaining quality and accuracy with the advantage of our unique Primecut NE software. Drawings are simply loaded, checked and run. i.e. DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES & NC codes. • Key Points: Innovation in manufacturing. • Complete processing prior to external path cutting increasing accuracy. • No need to pre-heat maintaining structural integrity surrounding holes. • Bevel cutting of weld preps saving on change out time. • Wide cutting envelope 18.4m x 3.4m
Mill to Mine Traceability: Suppliers to Advanced Profile must provide evidence of their Quality Assurance. Upon receiving deliveries of plate stock all heat no’s are entered into our computer system. A search is conducted of the suppliers technical site to locate the corresponding test certificate. All stock retains its identity throughout processing and remains on our system for future reference. A copy of each test certificate is placed with our delivery note and sent with the goods when requested. Additional Ultrasonic Testing can be carried out prior to despatch from the supplier or once arrived in Advanced workshop. Advanced Profile follow our own strict quality assurance programme which is inline with ISO-9001: 2008 and are about to enter the next phase, engaging an independent company to audit our Quality Assurance system.
Supply Management • Vendor held stock: Advanced Profile maintain a full stock holding of both mild steel GR250, GR350 and quenched and tempered plate, 80, 400, 450 & 500 in standard sheet sizes 8000mm x 2485mm. Thickness range 6mm through to 100mm. Approximately 250 – 300 tonne on hand. • Standard lead time for production of 3 – 4 days means regular supply is never affected. • Once supply demand is presented a planned Delivery In Full On Time schedule will be realised. • Key suppliers are engaged to ensure plate stock demands are recognised. • Freight preparation will be in accordance with Advanced Profiles freight policy understanding custom demands.
Wear Life Development. At Advanced we provide guidance based on data collected from maintenance personnel. Advanced Profile will develop a performance report for data entry, (change out intervals, Tonnes, flow, etc.) Analysis is then undertaken by Advanced Profile with cooperation of our suppliers technical department. Data collection incl, material flow and consistency. Condition monitoring, Highlight any wear or breakage issues. Current material used to manufacture liner. 3D Flow and consistency variation of transfer material. Review data collected from site. Improvements to material, metallurgy. Alterations to design of liner, equipment or flow. Make recommendations for improvement or trial. Approval of recommendations. Co-ordinate implementation of trial. Set review timeline. Monitor results. Provide detailed report listing benefits or recommendations to further improve trial.
Case Study – Hoisting Skips, maintenance delays. Problem: Variations within the supply chain had caused many alterations to the size of each liner meaning manual alterations in situ. This was creating lengthy delays to the change out time for the hoisting skips. Time estimated at 2 – 3 weeks. Solution: Locate drawings and realign all the liners to suit the original body design. Simplify liner designation with unique numbering system to avoid confusion. With our advanced software any liner can be called up from the data base and produced within hours. Installation time has been reduced to 2 days . Further development: is progressing to standardise the liners within the 5 hoisting skips i.e. Final small alterations allowing for existing repairs in skip body.
Innovative cost saving. • A wear trial is currently underway using existing Creusabro 8000 versus Bisalloy QT 500. • The aim is to establish cost saving benefits against wear life probability. Results will be available after 1 st quarter 2013. For those interested please contact Steve Thompson 0428821847.
