Description
As engineers dedicated to solving challenges, we often address our own needs to improve efficiency. Over the years, as our projects and machines became more complex and automation increased, so did the size and complexity of our electrical panels. To tackle these challenges, we designed the Pipeline Electrical Panel Build Station—a versatile workstation tailored for assembling large electrical panels
Included in the digital package are the following items:
- eDrawings executable files of the assemblies
- These files are in a .exe format and require no additional, or outside software, to use.
- Measurement has been enabled, so the end user can verify lengths and determine where various extrusions are to be used
- The .exe also allow the user to spin, zoom, and manipulate the view so they can get an in-depth view of exactly what they want.
- Components can also be hidden to get a better view that may be difficult to see with other components in the way.
- The main Top Level Assembly (TLA) is located at the same level as all of the supporting files which are located in separate folders for ease of use.
- Supporting files
- Assembly PDFs – Located in a folder of the same name
- These are individual drawing files in PDF format that can be used to get a better idea of the parts needed to assemble that portion of the fixture
- Each drawing file has a Bill of Materials (BOM) ensuring that you have the correct quantity of items to complete the build.
- BOMs – The following BOMs are included:
- Full BOM (Indented)
- This file contains a complete list of all the components required for the TLA, giving part quantities for individual assemblies, as well as total quantities for the entire build.
- 4x Purchasing BOMs
- 3D Printed Parts – This file lists the quantities of optional 3D printed accessories for use on the final product. They are not required, but several make the final product a bit more user friendly (Actual STLs can be found in a separate folder).
- 8020 – This file contains all of the components (aluminum extrusion and accessories) that can be purchased from 8020.net. You are not required to purchase from this company / website, but the part numbers listed will make purchasing much easier
- Machined Parts – This file lists any components that are to be machined. The material for the component has been specified and is a recommendation. If the user would like to use a different material, that is their decision, however, it is recommended that the supplied recommendation be used unless something stronger is specified by the user.
- McMaster – Like the 8020 file, this file contains a list of components and order quantities to make purchasing from mcmaster.com easier.
- Full BOM (Indented)
- Component PDFs
- This folder contains PDF drawing files of any machined components that can be used to procure the parts from a vendor of the user’s choosing.
- Component STEPs
- This folder contains STEP files (solid models) that can accompany the drawing described above in order for the vendor to make the part accurately
- Components STLs
- This folder contains any STL files the user may want to have 3D printed, or print in house
- Subassembly EXEs
- This folder contains .exe files similar to the TLA, but specifically for each of the subassemblies.
- These files may be useful if a drawing is unclear
- Assembly PDFs – Located in a folder of the same name
The downloadable file you will purchase is a .zip file with the organization described above. Download to the directory of your choice, then unzip it. The files and folders have been organized in a way that should be easy to understand when looking for a specific file, or file type.
