Initial Consultation:
During the consultation stage,
Frontier staff members work with customers to
develop converting equipment that meets both their
performance expectations and their budget.
Whether you have fully prepared plans or a
set of production objectives in mind our
experience at building high quality
converting equipment will make the process
easier.
Conceptual Drawings of the Converting Equipment:
You can make them, or we will make them for
you. This step helps each of us to make
certain that our thoughts and expectations
about your converting equipment are compatible. It is much
easier to revise a set of concept drawings than to recreate
working drawings later on.
Budgetary Quote:
Now is the time for some basic
arithmetic. Can the objectives of your converting equipment
be achieved cost effectively? Is the project
appropriately funded? Are compromises called
for? Here’s where we find out. A
budgetary quote for your converting equipment gives us
both a set of working costs to see if our expectations
are
achievable.
Detailed Specifications of the Converting Equipment:
Now that we know it can be done, we need to
figure out precisely what we’ll be
building for your converting equipment. How big does it
need to be? How fast should it run? What parameters need
to be
controlled? How precisely? How frequently?
Manual or automated? Visual inspection? Or
digital sensing?
Mechanical Design of the Converting Equipment:
This is where the real work begins.
Now that we know what the converting equipment is
supposed to do, it’s time to figure out
how best to do it. Working from your
specifications, or conceptual drawings, our
engineers will design the mechanics of your
new converting equipment in AutoCAD and output a life
size drawing for your review. This full-scale
drawing, in addition to making plan
inspection easier, also enables close
ergonomic evaluation possible.
Electrical Design of the Converting Equipment:
Working closely with our mechanical
designers, our electrical designers make sure
that your new converting equipment will be powered
properly, controlled conveniently, and
monitored sensitively.
Design Review of the Converting Equipment:
This stage gives us an opportunity
to review all plans before the converting equipment goes
into production. We’ll meet with you and
your staff for a presentation. When
we’re finished, if we have communicated
efficiently, you will be ready for the next
stage.
Approval of Converting Equipment Final
Drawings:
At this point, all of the questions
should have been answered, both yours and
ours. It’s time to sign off and start
building your converting equipment.
Parts Fabrication for the Converting Equipment:
When we enter the production stage,
the first thing we will do is start
fabrication of those parts which cannot be
purchased from stock.
Order Long Lead Items
Even though some items are
considered "off the shelf" they
need to be ordered far in advance of more
regularly stocked items. Now is the time to
anticipate delays and create deadlines in
order to ensure prompt delivery.
Assembly of the Converting Equipment:
Once the parts begin to arrive, our
expert staff begins the actual task of
putting the converting equipment together.
Testing of the Converting Equipment:
Once it’s all together,
we’ll test your converting equipment to make sure it
does everything it’s supposed to.
Demonstration of your Converting Equipment:
Once we’re comfortable with the performance
of your converting equipment,
we’ll invite
you for a fully loaded demonstration. If
performance is up to your expectations,
we’re ready to go. If something needs to
be adjusted, we’ll adjust it.
Delivery of your Converting Equipment:
Our team of licensed riggers is your
best insurance that your new converting equipment will
make it from our facility to yours in the
same condition as it was at the demo.
Installation of your Converting Equipment:
Our technicians go along with every
piece of converting equipment we build. We will provide
startup assistance at your location and make sure it’s
working satisfactorily before we leave.
Technical Support for your Converting Equipment:
Your new Frontier Industrial
Technology converting equipment comes with technical
support for full extent of its useful life.
