Some areas where not accessible with the scanner, so we used a mix of 3D scanning and traditional tools to capture the full shape. Then came the design. The original brake calipers were cast but remaking them for CNC machining required rethinking every aspect—adapting for drafted surfaces, tooling limits, etc. Getting the tolerances just right was essential to avoid leaks or stuck pistons. Finally, the manufacturing challenge, for example, deep drilling a 3 mm hole through 200 mm of metal (>60xD!) … 😮 The parts were crafted from 7075-T6 aluminium and finished with a hard anodized coating for durability. 🦾 The result? A perfect blend of reverse engineering and design, breathing new life into these classic brakes. What’s the last design and manufacturing challenge you’ve encountered?

🔍 Une seconde vie pour vos équipements grâce à la rétro-conception et au scan 3D 🔍 Imaginez une machine essentielle, présente dans votre chaîne de production depuis des années. Elle a vu passer des évolutions technologiques, a résisté à l’usure du temps, mais aujourd’hui, des signes de faiblesse apparaissent : pièces introuvables, obsolescence des composants, délai d'approvisionnement beaucoup trop long. Remplacer cette machine, à elle seule, représente un investissement majeur… alors pourquoi ne pas la réparer ? C'est là qu'interviennent le scan 3D et la rétro-conception. Ces technologies permettent de capturer avec précision la structure d'un équipement vieillissant, même sans plans d'origine, afin de le reproduire à l'identique. Mais la rétro-conception ne s’arrête pas là. À partir de ces modèles numérisés, nous créons des pièces de rechange conformes et certifiées, prêtes pour les tests et le commissioning. Le processus va même jusqu’à la vérification des matières, assurant ainsi que chaque composant respecte les standards les plus stricts. Ainsi, au lieu de vous heurter à l’obsolescence, cette technologie vous aide à prolonger la durée de vie de vos installations, avec des délais et des coûts maîtrisés. Parce que redonner vie à vos équipements, c’est aussi préserver l’histoire et l’efficacité de votre production. 💡 #3Dscanning #reverseengineering #obsolescence #usinageCNC #HARDOX450

Facing Challenges with Industrial Asset Maintenance Due to Spare Parts Shortages or Long Delays? At Stas Retro-Engineering, we address this challenge directly by remanufacturing complex assemblies for the food processing industry, employing advanced 3D scanning and prototyping technologies. Our approach, honed over years of experience, ensures we meet the stringent quality standards demanded by such projects. This example highlight the value of considering retrofitting or reverse engineering before replacing well-functioning machines due to limited OEM after-sales support. Don't let a lack of spare parts disrupt your operations — explore our innovative solutions today 🤝 #Retroengineering #Reverseengineering #AssetManagement #Spareparts #3Dscanning #manufacturing #Prototyping #Foodindustry #Maintenance

🚀 Maintenance Spare Parts management with Advanced Technology 🛠️ We are now leveraging cutting-edge scanning and reverse engineering technologies to remanufacture sprockets with unmatched precision and efficiency! 🔍 How it Works: Precision Scanning: We start by using state-of-the-art 3D scanners to capture every detail of the original sprocket. This ensures we have an exact digital replica of the part. Reverse Engineering: Our team of expert engineers analyzes the scanned data to understand the sprocket's design intricacies. This process helps us uncover the original manufacturing intent and any areas for improvement. Remanufacturing: Using the reverse-engineered data, we produce new sprockets that meet or exceed the original specifications. In this case the sprockets are made of C45 steel and are then following anti-corrosion treatment. 🌟 Benefits: Enhanced Accuracy: Our advanced scanning technology ensures every remanufactured sprocket is a perfect match to the original. Cost-Efficiency: By remanufacturing instead of producing new parts from scratch, we reduce costs and pass those savings on to our customers. At Stas Retro-Engineering, we're committed to blending innovation with tradition to deliver the highest quality products. This new approach to sprocket remanufacturing is just one example of how we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the industry. If you're interested in learning more about our remanufacturing process or have parts that need a new lease on life, let's connect! 📩 #Manufacturing #Engineering #Innovation #Remanufacturing #Sustainability #3DScanning #ReverseEngineering #Obsolescence #ATOSQ #Zeiss

This process is applicable to various components, so don't hesitate to contact us if you possess assets lacking drawings or 3D models that you wish to replicate. #3Dscanning #ReverseEngineering #CNCmachining #Obsolescence

#BEMAS FORUM #MAINTENANCE 2024 #BoisDuCazier – BE What a great event with a lot of interesting exchanges with participants about spare parts management and the difficulty to get replacement parts in time and at a reasonable price. We discussed #obsolescence management and how parts #remanufacturing via #3Dscanning and #reverseengineering could solve this problem. We also had the opportunity to highlight how 3D scanning can be used to accurately control the dimensional and geometrical deviations between the remanufactured part and the #CAD file used for #manufacturing. End to End services, as we like to call it, from scan to parts with all the #qualitycontrol included. Special thanks to GOM Metrology Belgium for supporting us in the preparation of this event and of course thanks to the BEMAS - Belgian Maintenance Association for organizing this !
