Mechanika assisted with the design optimisation and structural analysis of a 400 tonne hydraulic guillotine press.
The FEA was executed using ANSYS Mechanical Workbench 2020 R2, which was used to model the non-linear cutting action of the blade through the workpiece and to verify the stresses throughout the machine.
Mechanika also modelled the hydraulic mechanism and verified the ancillary off the shelf items in the load path with detailed hand calculations.
