Solidworks Cloud助力秘鲁Resemin简化地下采矿定制机器的开发

寂静回声

Resemin’s Mechanical Engineer and Structural Analyst Manuel Morales spoke about how Resemin efficiently optimized their underground mining equipment design and testing with SOLIDWORKS and cloud-based simulation tools during a recent webinar. The company conquered several challenges related to hardware limitations, regulatory standards, design turnaround times, field failures and service and maintenance.
Morales detailed how Resemin leveraged both SOLIDWORKS and cloud-based simulation to shorten analysis run times from two days to two hours and reduced prototyping by 70 percent, cut its machine delivery times by 50 percent and increased throughput.

Founded in 1989 in Lima, Peru, Resemin has grown to become the third-largest global manufacturer of underground mining and drilling equipment. Known for its commitment to safety and reliability, Resemin daily faces the challenge of developing equipment that can withstand extreme conditions in underground mining environments. This commitment has driven the company to leverage advanced technologies to ensure the highest quality and dependability of its products.
总部位于秘鲁的地下凿岩设备制造商Resemin公司再次实现了技术创新，开发了新型双臂DUAL 88凿岩台车及电池动力凿岩台车，能完成撬毛、顶板锚杆安装和工作面凿岩三项任务。这种新型台车对澳大利亚配置有分体式推进梁的双臂台车技术构成了直接挑战，后者也可以执行这三项任务，但没有实现全面机械化。
Resemin的首席执行官James Valenzuela表示，已经交付了5台DUAL 88凿岩台车，现在这些设备正在印度、墨西哥和哈萨克斯坦投入使用。不久之后，将在非洲部署更多的设备。DUAL 88凿岩台车是所有矿业企业的理想设备，因为其能执行多项任务，这意味着可以减少地下设备数量，减少工作人员，节省资本支出和维护成本，总之，这是一种突破性设备。
另一台具有突破性的全新设备是电池动力Troidon 55-EV型凿岩台车。该台车由蓄电池供电，用于工作面凿岩，作业范围达39平方米。该设备配置有一台用于牵引和凿岩的75千瓦电动马达以及三组FZSONICK蓄电池。这些蓄电池仅用于凿岩台车的行驶。在凿岩过程中，该设备接入矿山380/440/550/1000伏交流电网，允许凿岩台车一边凿岩一边充电。该设备是Resemin的电池动力钻机系列中的第一台。Resemin计划在2022年为其所有设备提供电池动力的可选机型。
In 2008 Resemin pivoted from using AutoCAD® 2D tools to implementing SOLIDWORKS®; this move significantly enhanced their production capabilities. This transition enabled them to reduce analysis run times from two days to merely two hours, cut prototyping efforts by 70 percentage, cut machine delivery times by 50 percent and increase their production throughput by 100 percent. The productivity gained with SOLIDWORKS combined with the needs for advanced nonlinear vibration and fatigue analyses to extend equipment durability and develop more innovative products prompted Resemin to evaluate 3DEXPERIENCE® Works solutions from Dassault Systèmes.

Resemin conducted a benchmark comparison between Ansys® Simulation Premium software and 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation. Both tools delivered accurate results, however 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation outperformed in ease of setup and speed, completing tasks three hours faster than Ansys.
This efficiency and 3DEXPERIENCE Works Simulation’s compatibility with SOLIDWORKS, led Resemin to adopt 3DEXPERIENCE Works. The integration of this tool into their workflow not only improved the performance of existing designs but also fueled innovation in new product development, which led to expanding their product line and doubling their annual production from 60 to 115 machines.

The implementation of advanced simulation tools aligns with Resemin’s business objectives to minimize product failures and warranty claims. Such claims are a significant expense for top manufacturers in the industry, amounting to 1.5 to 2 percent of revenue, nearly $2 billion annually. The combination of SOLIDWORKS for design and 3DEXPERIENCE Works for running simulations in the cloud gives Resemin a seamless solution for a synchronized design, modeling, and simulation process. These tools are critically important for improving product reliability, durability, and performance.
Resemin’s proactive approach in adopting SOLIDWORKS and cloud-based simulation tools from Dassault Systèmes has not only streamlined their data management and reduced time to market but has also significantly boosted their production throughput and product quality. By leveraging these advanced technologies, Resemin has emerged as a leader in innovation within the underground mining equipment sector.
