FLSmidth has developed the OK™ Mills using 3D tools, including SolidWorks, which made it possible to utilize the parametric modeling option in the program.
DIS acted as a daily partner with a consultant based at FLSmidth, who assisted in the design of components using parametric modeling in SolidWorks for design automation. The project focused on three different sizes of the FLSmidth OK™ Mill. Additionally, DIS was involved in the further development of the equipment for special transport, as FLSmidth’s products have a size that makes transport challenging. For instance, the rollers for the mills are approximately two meters in diameter and weigh around 30 tons.
