Application of 3d printing in machine designing
In our post “Additive Manufacturing (AM) integrated into collaborative robotics solutions” we discuss general concepts of 3D printing and the use of this technology by its Industry 4.0 department in its CADE LAB. Next, we are going to present a practical case of an application of 3D printing in the
Design and FEM analysis of equipment and conductors made of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)
There are many sectors (chemical and process industry, naval, aeronautical or food sector) and industrial applications in which it is necessary to design and validate equipment made with special materials (FRP- Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic), due to to the special corrosion resistance requirements for which they have to provide service. This
Identification of risks in industrial facilities
In the developmet of the current legislation on major accidents, there have been several European Directives that have been defining the current legal framework, creating the SEVESO legislation (SEVESO I, SEVESO II y SEVESO III). This legal framework has been updated periodically, taking into account the main lessons learned from
Study of deformations and the prestressing process in pressure equipment flanges
The flanged joints of pressure equipment can show deformations due to the bolt tightening process, or being generated later during service. The appearance of this type of problem may mean that the equipment is not suitable to continue with the operation, with the consequent economic impact that would entail a
Francisco Peñafiel | Projects Director and Deputy to the Business Development Management
We are pleased to announce the incorporation of Francisco Peñafiel, as Project Director and Deputy to the Business Development Management of CADE Soluciones de Ingeniería, and that from now on he will lead our office in Madrid. Francisco is an Industrial Engineer from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, and has developed
Gas metering and regulating station engineering (M&R)
Content What is and where are the gas regulation and measurement stations used? With the aim of decarbonizing conventional electricity generation, the reconversions of local coal industries by combined gas and steam cycles (CGSC) using the natural gas resources existing in nearby mines or deposits are increasingly frequent. Likewise, in
Additive Manufacturing (AM) in collaborative robotic solutions
Contents What is additive manufacturing? Technologies and materials Additive Manufacturing, also known 3D Printing, is a family of manufacturing technologies capable of producing objects by means of sequential deposition of layers as opposed to the classic subtraction techniques, such as machining. Although its origins date back several decades, this technological
Solar Thermal heat for industrial processes: Decarbonize and save? Definitely yes
The industry is today faced with the challenge of a changing scenario, in which the perspective on a sustainable energy model and with a reduction in CO2 emissions is already an urgent reality. It is necessary, already today, to decarbonize current energy models and reduce energy generation costs More than
Improvements of ullage systems for solar thermal plants
HTF is a heat transfer fluid widely used in solar thermal power plants as an exchange fluid for steam generation, as well as for heating molten salts in energy storage systems. Depending on the size and design of each plant, the amount of thermal fluid that circulates in a solar
