How a transport frame for wind components is designed
Every transport frame starts with the part it will carry. See what goes into the design before the structure reaches the road or the port.
A manufacturing facility built for large-scale projects
Floor space, handling equipment and integrated processes allow M&I to deliver large industrial and wind projects.
Machining and measurement: interfaces that must fit the first time
Mounting holes, bearing faces and pick-up points determine whether a device will fit the client’s component. See how machining and measurement work together.
Shipping: the last step is also part of the project
Well-built equipment has to reach the client intact. See how shipping is planned in large-scale projects.
High-power laser cutting: what it changes in manufacturing
CNC laser cutting brought more precision and speed to plate preparation. Understand the impact on the following manufacturing steps.
Radial drill: when the part is too big to move
With heavy parts, it is easier to bring the tool to the hole than the other way around. That is where the radial drill comes in.
Structural welding: why qualified procedures make a difference
A structural weld is not just about appearance. Qualified procedures and certified welders ensure the joint will withstand the design load.
From port to wind farm: the journey of a wind turbine before it turns
Between the factory and operation, a wind turbine goes through transport, storage, lifting and assembly. At every stage, support equipment is involved.
Plate bending: precision and repeatability in forming
In structures that must fit with other parts, an angle out of spec compromises the whole assembly. See what ensures a precise bend.
Inside the plant: what an ironworker machine does
Little known outside industry, the ironworker combines cutting, punching and notching of profiles in a single machine. Learn its role in plate fabrication.
