“ANSYS Mechanical helped us find the most accurate loading cases and scientifically calculate the load on our new stretch wrapping machine. Thanks to transient analysis, we could determine the forces and torques in circumstances for which we previously had no data, such as during machine start-up and emergency stopping. Using simulation, production time was reduced from 30 months to 18 months.” Andrea Ridolfi Senior Mechanical Engineer and CAE Specialist Company: Robopac S.p.A., Gualdicciolo, San Marino + Robopac Case StudyRobopac is a leading designer and manufacturer of stretch wrapping machines, which use stretch film to stabilize products for shipment. The company needed to develop an innovative rotat- ing arm machine that was more durable and less costly than its existing p
