5 × 10 Sheet Storage Rack Design & Fabrication Support
The design and fabrication support of a 5 × 10 sheet storage rack system, from single-rack development to a complete 10-rack structure.
The customer required a storage rack system for handling and storing 5 × 10 sheets as per specified capacity and height requirements. We initially developed a single rack in 3D CAD to validate the concept and obtain customer feedback. After finalizing the individual rack, we developed the complete 10-rack storage structure and reviewed the concept with the customer. The design was optimized to meet the required strength and functionality while avoiding unnecessary structural weight. Manufacturing drawings, welding fixtures, and fabrication support were provided through to successful product development.
What Made This Project Complex
The main challenge was to develop a practical rack that could safely accommodate the required 5 × 10 sheets and storage capacity.the structure needed to meet the specified height and configuration while keeping the overall weight within a practical limit.The concept also had to be developed progressively from a single rack to the complete 10-rack structure.Fabrication required clear manufacturing drawings and suitable welding fixtures for accurate and efficient assembly.Field issues identified during fabrication also required simple modifications without unnecessarily increasing the structure’s weight or complexity.
How Milestone PLM delivered
We first studied the sheet dimensions, storage capacity, rack quantity, height, and structural weight requirements. A single rack was developed in 3D CAD and refined through customer reviews before proceeding with the complete structure. The finalized rack was then used to develop and review the 10-rack storage system while considering strength, functionality, and weight.Manufacturing drawings and three welding hand fixtures were developed to support accurate and efficient fabrication.During physical fabrication, field issues were reviewed and resolved through simple design modifications while maintaining the intended structural performance.
