KEY PROJECT IN CATIA
Client : Ashok Leyland Trucks
Project: Product Design Support to Interiors and Cooling System of U-3723 platform Trucks
Product Information:
The Ashok Leyland U-3723 features five axles, twin steerable front axles, two rear axles and a self-steerable pusher lift axle at the middle that enables the vehicle to carry more loads in any conditions.
Its 37-tonne haulage truck with the highest payload of up to 27 tonnes. Its Aero-dynamic cab and lower unladed weight improved the fuel efficiency and optimized drive train and 11R20 tyres deliver improved drivability and effortless maneuverability
Design Work Carried:
• Product Design by Reverse engineering of dash board (Cab Interior)
• Class A surface creation for cooling system
– Class A surface smoothing and B- surface generation with engineering design for Cab exterior.
– Class A surface smoothing and Mounting with respect to BIW components for Ashok Leyland truck projects.
• Design Plan – timing efforts for engineering activities, tooling plan, drawing creation and completion activities
• Conversion of BLOW MOLDING COMPONENTS to PLASTICS for Intercooler Duct.
• Cooling system packaging: Fitment study, clearance study – Based on the same design changes
• Supporting bracket design support to radiator
• Schematic Study done for hoses and pipes in the coolant circuit , Including drawing Preparation and assembly instruction details
• Radiator hoses routing, Electrical cable harness routing with optimize and commonizing lengths
• Drawing creation for different parts supporting bracket, hoses, plastic components etc.
Environment: CATIA V5 R15 – Part Modeling, Surface Modeling, Assembly and drafting
