The A.J. Weller Corporation
Hunter Lee
Founded in 1982, A.J. Weller is a steel fabrication company that specializes in high-wear
resistant products that serve a multitude of industries. One product of interest is
their
WellerCLAD®, which is a composite steel material that must be machined on its mild
steelside to avoid damage to the clad layer on the opposite side for future fabrication.
Due tothe weight and size of these plates, the team was tasked with designing a mechanism
toimprove the current process for rotating these plates. The final design solves this
issue bydecreasing the time it takes to flip each plate, reducing the number of defects
on the platethat are caused by the previous flipping process, and reducing the number
of operators required for the overall flipping process. The design provides an overall
simpler and safer process that aids A.J. Weller to produce a more resilient product
for their customers. The final design is easily repeatable for future applications,
requires little maintenance, and eliminates the previous risk involved in rotating
these large steel plates for machining.
