Develop a high Load (500V, 4000A) electrical contact system for a racked continuous coating line.
Product Development Process Deliverables:
Researched and identified existing technologies for the base contactor which could be customized for the application.
Provide full CAD models and designs supporting the modification of the base contactor for automatic engagement and disengagement.
Provide full CAD models and drawings of the structural and conductive mounting hardware to implement the contactor system on an existing coating line.
Facilitated the fabrication of components and assemblies leading up to assembly and system test.
Results
Provide System design and supported implementation within a targeted 3 week period of time.
Although modified, the base contact system is purchased and enhanced from an existing supplier who could provide key service components on an ongoing basis.
