Challenge

In this case, the customer wanted a cart to use throughout the assembly process for their carbon fiber rocket nozzles. The manufacturing process requires several processes including layout, trimming, drilling, and part handling.

Solution

The cart solution developed by Valley Box will not only be used as a build-stand but also as an assembly fixture, transport cart, and storage in between assembly processes. These carts help to facilitate the health of the overall supply chain for the aerospace packaging programs.

To allow operators easy access to any side of the rocket nozzle, the cart was designed to have removable panels on each of the sides and the ends. The loose panels can easily be removed with 2 personnel. To prevent abrasion to the carbon fiber, the inside surfaces of the cart have 1/4" foam padding lined with carpet. Preventing damage to the carbon fiber surface avoids costly re-works and quality checks, which over time saves you time and money.

To prevent the loss of loose parts, the removable side panels hang from the handle end of the cart, keeping all the cart pieces together and organized. Efficiency is key, the cart holding its own components reduces time spent looking for parts by personnel.

For space consolidation when the product is not in use, the carts are designed to be stacked on top of each other. Stacking material handling devices when not in use helps companies preserve valuable floor space.

To increase the life span of the cart and prevent it from succumbing to damage from rust, chemicals, or other pollutants, all the steel components were sandblasted & powder coated.

Conclusion

Our customers received a custom-designed aerospace packaging solution that not only met all their needs but exceeded their expectations. It's important that every project Valley Box takes on is efficient, space-saving, long-lasting, and easily maneuvered by the product's end-user.
