3. Large welded parts design
SolidWorks supports multi-body modeling techniques in which the weldment is treated as a part during the product design process, and the blank size is determined by the entity at the time of process design. SolidWorks provides specialized welding tools, including welds, gussets, weldment cut lists, weldment drawings, etc., and the use of welding tools to efficiently complete weldment design. When designing the weldment, the software automatically generates two configurations, where the weld configuration contains only weldment information, and the machining configuration contains subsequent machining information that meets the product design and process design requirements.
4. Sheet metal design
The baffles, inlet pipes and outlet pipes in large water pumps are generally sheet metal parts, and it is quite difficult to calculate the size of the blanking in a two-dimensional environment. With the SolidWorks sheet metal module, this challenge can be solved. In the unfolding of the sheet metal blanking, the dimension of the curve is generally the coordinate value of some points on the curve, which is consistent with the conventional cutting method.
Third, the pump process design platform
Manufacturing capacity is one of the core competitiveness of pump manufacturing enterprises, mainly including casting, machining of large castings and structural parts, design and manufacture of casting patterns, and numerical control machining of impeller surfaces. Making full use of the product design model is the best way to improve the efficiency of process design. SolidWorks' mold design module and all-related design functions based on the assembly environment can make full use of the product model for process design, which is compared with the traditional two-dimensional design. Efficiency can be increased by 3-5 times.
1. Casting process and pattern design
Casting is the most important processing method in pump manufacturing. The design of the pouring and riser system requires knowing the weight of the casting blank. Therefore, it is possible to add a blank configuration to the product part model in the SolidWorks environment as the casting process design and The source model of the casting pattern design directly queries the weight design casting system of the blank model and designs the casting process system "top down" in the assembly environment.
SolidWorks' mold design module provides a range of tools including input diagnostics, draft analysis, scaling, parting lines, parting surfaces, undercut inspection, and cutting and segmentation. Enter the solid model of the part to be machined and, given the shrinkage rate, automatically generate the core and cavity of the casting mold. Therefore, the mold design efficiency can be increased by more than 10 times.
Use the Mold tool to analyze and correct defects in SolidWorks models or input models. The mold tool covers the entire design process from initial analysis to generation of cutting segments. The result of the cutting split is a multi-body part that contains the molded part, the core, the cavity, and a separate entity plus other optional entities such as the side core. The multi-body part file maintains the design intent, and the cutting body or casting pattern is automatically changed accordingly after the mold part is changed.
2. Fixture and gage design
In an assembly environment, SolidWorks supports a top-down design. Based on the parts to be machined and to be inspected, it is very convenient to design the fixtures and gauges by citing the model data of the parts to be machined. The most used fixture in pump processing is the drilling mold. When designing the drilling mold, the hole to be processed on the component can be directly projected onto the template of the drilling mold in the assembly environment. The most commonly used gage is a fixture that measures the surface of the impeller and the surface of the volute. The most accurate and efficient way to design a fixture is to directly reference the curves and surfaces in the product model.
3. CNC machining of curved surfaces
There are two methods for machining the impeller surface of the pump, milling and casting. The core and cavity machining of the impeller's milling and casting patterns involve CNC machining of the surface. The processing of the flow surface needs to ensure the accuracy of the surface to ensure the hydraulic performance of the pump.
SolidWorks promotes the Golden Partner Program. Many professional CAM software companies have developed CAM software embedded in the SolidWorks environment. The most famous ones are CAMWorks and SolidCAM. These softwares and SolidWorks have a unified database and the same interface style. Supports 3-5 axis CNC milling. SolidCAM also supports the processing of wood and can directly process wood molds.
