EDM MK-2 Rod Feeder – Ultonotec
Overview:
This project showcases Newland’s expertise in manufacturing, assembly, and testing complex equipment. For this project, we partnered with Ultonotec and Exploration Drill Masters (EDM) to manufacture the EDM MK-2 Rod Feeder, a sophisticated piece of machinery comprising over 500 individual components.
Challenges:
Our joint venture partner In Ultonotec, EDM, designed the EDM MK-2 Rod Feeder, a crucial piece of equipment for efficient drilling operations. The challenge was to procure, manufacture, assemble, and test a highly complex machine, ensuring each of the 500+ components met stringent quality standards and operated seamlessly together.
Solutions:
- Procurement: We sourced high-quality materials and components necessary for the EDM MK-2 Rod Feeder, ensuring that each part met the exact specifications and standards required for optimal performance and durability.
- Manufacture: Utilising our engineering, machining and fabrication capabilities, we produced the components with precision and care. Our manufacturing processes were designed to maintain the required tolerances and quality finishes, ensuring the reliability of each part.
- Assembly: Our skilled technicians meticulously assembled the EDM MK-2 Rod Feeder, paying close attention to detail to ensure that all components fit and functioned perfectly. The complexity of the assembly process was managed through thorough planning and rigorous quality control measures.
- Testing: In conjunction with the experts from Ultonotec comprehensive testing was conducted to validate the performance and reliability of the assembled Rod Feeder. Our engineers subjected the equipment to various operational scenarios to ensure it met all performance criteria and safety standards.
Outcome:
The successful delivery of the EDM MK-2 Rod Feeder was a testament to Newland’s capabilities in handling complex projects. The equipment was delivered to Ultonotec’s client, fully operational and meeting all design specifications. The project underscored our ability to manage intricate manufacturing processes, assemble complex machinery, and ensure rigorous testing for optimal performance. The client was extremely satisfied with the outcome, reinforcing our reputation as a reliable partner in the engineering and manufacturing industry.
