Argon Technology utilizes the latest in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools. 3D modelling is a critical tool for modern engineering design reducing time to manufacture and streamlining the prototyping process. Modern manufacturing processes can be taken into account in the design process including sheet metal development and weldments.
Modern 3D modelling packages allow designers to develop complete models including bearings, bolted connections, hoses / cable harness and electrical components. This allows one engineer to perform the work of many and reduces product development time.
Mechanical Simulation & Finite Element Analysis
Modern numerical analysis has led to the inception of computer based 3D FEA analysis of structures. This tool is invaluable in verification of designs and in rapid development of design concepts. Argon Technology’s software suite allows it to simulate the effects of gravity, force, bending moments and pressure on a structure to verify the suitability of a structural design in 3D. Analysis can be performed for maximum stress, deformation and frequency modes.
To supplement our 3D FEA tools Argon Technology has a suite of 2D analysis tools which can calculate effectiveness of bolted connections, bearing life, shaft deflection, 2D FEA, spring calculations and more.
Apart from applications in design these simulation tools can be used in failure analysis and ongoing design improvement. Customers who are experiencing frequent failures of an assembly can contract Argon Technology to improve the design to minimise failures. Argon Technology can provide condition monitoring services in conjunction with numerical analysis to get to the bottom of your plants maintenance problems.
Drives and Transmission Design
Argon Technology has extensive experience in designing power transmission systems. Be it timing belt or shaft design, bearing and slewing applications or linear arrangements we have the solution.
Argon uses only the best in modern reducer technology allowing extremely compact designs with high performance specifications. Our reducers have the lowest backlash available on the market today.
