Mechanical and Plant Design

In the complexity of applications in the field of machines and components for manufacturing industries, mechanical design is a subject that contains the essence of many aspects for obtaining an optimal product. "Pro jacere', to push and project forward, design is a vision of the future that codified in standard languages becomes reality.

MUG Industrial Projects places its technical-engineering expertise in planned development methodologies, addressing all topics involving functional and performance aspects, in order to achieve reliable, safe and quality products.

Its design follows development stages iteratively and dynamically, with a wide-ranging vision governed by input, functional and performance goals. The machine design also faithfully follows the International Standard Norms and the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC in terms of safety over the entire life cycle.

VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION

To complete the design, as a company, we carry out functional logic studies; we also verify design choices and sizing of fluidic equipment systems (hydraulic, pneumatic, vacuum) with on-off, proportional and servo-assisted drives. The drafting of diagrams, complete with a parts list, is the output of the technical work.

As far as the design services are concerned, we carry out product engineering studies and provide the relevant technical documentation complete with an analysis of the choices made to optimize the product industrialization, as well as a check of the investment costs and lead times.

The advent of techno polymer or steel investment casting technology, known as 3D printing, coupled with parametric modelling techniques, enables the creation of representative mock-ups or truly usable parts with mechanical characteristics and surface finishes consistent with the project. With the collaboration of conforming partners, we elaborate and provide the mathematics of the models to realize them with these processes.

Analisi ad elementi finiti (ANSYS)

More and more people are looking for the best compromise between light weight, life cycle reliability and safety in mechanical components. MUG Industrial Projects uses static and modal finite element analysis (FEA) statica e modale attraverso il software Ansys Mechanical®. Questa metodologia di calcolo, permette di valutare dei modelli discrettizzati con livelli di definizione elevati affinchè si possano evidenziare criticità o sovradimensionamenti strutturali e di forma. Con l’static and modal finite element analysis (FEA) è possibile in corso di valutazione ottimizzare le forme dei modelli ed evitare rotture premature dei componenti a causa di concentrazioni delle sollecitazioni o effetti a fatica, a garanzia del ciclo vita obiettivo di progetto. Ancora maggiore è l’attenzione quando il componente in esame, in caso di rottura prematura, può compromettere gli aspetti legati alla sicurezza. A tale riguardo l’analisi ad elementi finiti risulta uno strumento fondamentale per il rispetto dei essential safety requirements, come recitato nella Direttiva Macchine 2006/42/CE. I parametri di calcolo vengono predisposti in funzione delle indicazioni fornite dalle Norme tecniche per campo di applicazione.

Technical File and Certification

Every machinery, piece of equipment or component must be approached with an integrated design beyond just general functionality, in compliance with the essential safety requirements. The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC is the foundation of the process for placing safe and reliable machinery on the market, providing a comprehensive and unambiguous assessment process and technical risk mitigation actions. The stages of the development of a technical file are generally specified in the following points.

IDENTIFICATION: Machinery, partly completed machinery or equipment.
LIMITS OF USE, LIFE CYCLE AND STAKEHOLDERS: Intended use in the different stages (transport and handling, installation, use, maintenance, decommissioning) and authorized personnel.
TYPE OF CERTIFICATION: The EC type-examination procedure provided for in Annex IX, plus the internal checks on the manufacture of machinery provided for in Annex VIII; the full quality assurance procedure provided for in Annex X.
RISK ASSESSMENT AND REDUCTION: Applicable risk assessment system in Annex I of the Directive and according to UNI EN ISO 12100:2010. This tool is used to determine the mitigating actions for the project in order to comply with the essential safety requirements.
GOVERNING RULES: application of unified type C standards for design choices involving presumption of conformity.
ANALYSIS OF SECURITY SYSTEMS: According to UNI EN ISO 13849:2016, the designs of security system architectures are assessed according to the 'Performance Level' required by the case.
USER AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL: It is the document that accompanies the machinery throughout its life cycle and contains all the information necessary for safe use.
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY: It is the document certifying that the machinery complies with the directives
CE MARKING: It is an indelible plate fixed to the machinery that identifies it and indicates its conformity.
ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION: It refers to the file attached documents showing that the design and implementation are consistent with the analyses carried out, such as: structural checks, executive drawings, fluidic diagrams, electrical diagrams, material certificates, component datasheets, safety component certificates, safety data sheets, worker training modules (D.Lgsl 81/08) and any other document evidencing the process.
