CASTING INNOVATIONS
right spring for the application. Benefits are reduced stress concentration in the pigtail, longer stroke capabilities and better spacing between the coils for easy access to the spring fasteners. Propri- etary contoured cast spring retainers to match the spring profile have serrated seats for better clamping. Conveyor Dynamics designs, engi-
neers, manufactures and machines its own components. In fact, they supply components to other vibratory equip- ment manufacturers. Equipment layout drawings are
developed using SolidWorks to il- lustrate the equipment interface in 3-D, making it easy for customers to visualize how the equipment fits in their plant and to see various clear- ances. Te company cuts and bevels parts on a new style 5-axis CNC 800 amp high-definition plasma machine with True Hole technology. Tis saves production time formerly spent han- dling the pieces, measuring, laying out, and drilling holes in a separate opera- tion. Te parts come off this latest- generation CNC machine slag-free, accurately cut to size. Most shapes are designed to be keyed or interlocked for fast fitment into weldments.
For layout drawings, SolidWorks illustrates the equipment interface in 3-D.
The weld locations also are etched in the plate via plasma to shorten the set-up time. The beveling capability saves weld preparation time and is used for back-drafted teardrop holes
or slots cut in 3-in. thick shakeout decks.

Conveyor Dynamics uses a spring system and stabilizer mounts with a reinforced “open T” structure to allow easier access to the fasteners. September 2016 MODERN CASTING | 45
