Advanced Profile Solutions provide steel plate processing with a - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

• Introduction.

Advanced Profile Solutions provide steel plate processing with a strong emphasis on wear

• products. Our main focus lies within the mining, civil and construction industries.
• Parent Company, Alliance Engineering Group

Our capabilities are enhanced when combining our equipment and services. Technology available includes CNC controlled profile cutting machines, CNC controlled 500 tonne brake press, plate rolls, CNC lathes, 50 tonne cranes as well as various other onsite and fixed

• equipment. Alliance has a combined workforce of 40 full time employees ranging from

managers, tradesmen, engineers, programmers , machine operators, etc.

• Industry knowhow.

High value is placed on assisting our clients manage and maintain uninterrupted fabrication. This is achieved by providing focused proactive, not reactive, solutions. Our mission is to provide customers with innovative best practice manufacturing and service.

All liners cut from Quenched and Tempered Plate Stock will be produced on our Kinetic K5000 plasma profile cutting machine. This machine is incredibly versatile and extremely well suited for producing wear

• liners. We have great success maintaining quality and accuracy with the advantage of our unique Primecut

NE software. Drawings are simply loaded, checked and run. i.e. DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES & NC codes. OXY TORCH BEVEL PLASMA

Manufacturing.

SPINDLE TOOL CHANGER TOOL SELECTOR

• Key Points: Innovation in manufacturing.
• Complete processing prior to external path cutting increasing accuracy.
• No need to pre-heat maintaining structural integrity surrounding holes.
• Bevel cutting of weld preps saving on change out time.
• Wide cutting envelope 18.4m x 3.4m

Drilled holes Diameter +/-.1mm Position +/-.5mm Part dimension <20mm +/-1mm >20mm +/-2mm

Mill to Mine Traceability:

• Suppliers to Advanced Profile must provide

evidence of their Quality Assurance.

• Upon receiving deliveries of plate stock all

heat no’s are entered into our computer

• system. A search is conducted of the suppliers

technical site to locate the corresponding test certificate.

• All stock retains its identity throughout

processing and remains on our system for future reference.

• A copy of each test certificate is placed with
• ur delivery note and sent with the goods

when requested.

• Additional Ultrasonic Testing can be carried
• ut prior to despatch from the supplier or
• nce arrived in Advanced workshop.
• Advanced Profile follow our own strict quality

assurance programme which is inline with ISO-9001: 2008 and are about to enter the next phase, engaging an independent company to audit our Quality Assurance system.

Supply Management

• Vendor held stock: Advanced Profile maintain a full stock holding of both mild steel GR250, GR350 and

quenched and tempered plate, 80, 400, 450 & 500 in standard sheet sizes 8000mm x 2485mm. Thickness range 6mm through to 100mm. Approximately 250 – 300 tonne on hand.

• Standard lead time for production of 3 – 4 days means regular supply is never affected.
• Once supply demand is presented a planned Delivery In Full On Time schedule will be realised.
• Key suppliers are engaged to ensure plate stock demands are recognised.
• Freight preparation will be in accordance with Advanced Profiles freight policy understanding custom

demands.

Wear Life Development.

At Advanced we provide guidance based on data collected from maintenance personnel. Advanced Profile will develop a performance report for data entry, (change out intervals, Tonnes, flow, etc.) Analysis is then undertaken by Advanced Profile with cooperation of our suppliers technical department. Data collection incl, material flow and consistency. Condition monitoring, Highlight any wear or breakage issues. Current material used to manufacture liner. 3D Flow and consistency variation of transfer material. Review data collected from site. Improvements to material, metallurgy. Alterations to design of liner, equipment or flow. Make recommendations for improvement or trial. Approval of recommendations. Co-ordinate implementation of trial. Set review timeline. Monitor results. Provide detailed report listing benefits or recommendations to further improve trial.

Case Study – Hoisting Skips, maintenance delays.

Solution: Locate drawings and realign all the liners to suit

the original body design. Simplify liner designation with unique numbering system to avoid confusion. With our advanced software any liner can be called up from the data base and produced within hours. Installation time has been reduced to 2 days .

Further development: is progressing to standardise the

liners within the 5 hoisting skips i.e. Final small alterations allowing for existing repairs in skip body.

Problem: Variations within the supply chain had caused many

alterations to the size of each liner meaning manual alterations in

• situ. This was creating lengthy delays to the change out time for the

hoisting skips. Time estimated at 2 – 3 weeks.

Innovative cost saving.

• A wear trial is currently underway

using existing Creusabro 8000 versus Bisalloy QT 500.

• The aim is to establish cost saving

benefits against wear life probability.

Results will be available after 1st quarter 2013. For those interested please contact Steve Thompson 0428821847.

Relationships:

Advanced Profile has working relationships with Cast Liner supply companies. All relationships maximise the benefits of complete wear solutions for our customers.
