Capabilities

3D Modeling

ASEMA's design house has a full suite of modeling & rendering software that is fully integrated & compatible with in-house drafting & analysis software. This enables ASEMA to produce components from their initial concept stage right through to detailed manufacturing drawings. An added benefit is the use of these models in 3D animation and motion analysis software for real-time simulations & determination of dynamic loading. ASEMA also has the ability to produce marketing & demonstration material to assist sales or information collaboration.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

ASEMA prides itself on its structural analysis capabilities. Our primary analysis package is intimately linked to 3D modeling software thus enabling on-the-fly analysis for design optimization of individual components and full assemblies. This software also performs motion analysis and thermal modeling so that a full understanding of a parts behaviour can be established. ASEMA's engineering team have extensive experience in analyzing components for basic structural integrity, dynamic fatigue limits and even energy absorption in crash situations.

Drafting

The drafting team are equipped with a full compliment of 2D & 3D drafting tools. This ensures full collaboration with client software and guarantees uncompromised transfer of information. This software is backed-up by an effective Bill-of-Materials (BOM) database enabling full tracking of parts for purchasing and manufacturing purposes.  

Mechanical Design

Attention-to-detail and keeping-it-simple are the two mottos that ASEMA's design team follow. The majority of ASEMA's engineers have originated from a mechanical background and hence this is the major impetus for the company. ASEMA's design ability is clearly demonstrated in the wealth of successful projects undertaken to date. From the humble wood splitter to the ingenious wheelie bin cleaner and on to propulsion systems for monorails & hybrid ferries. The variety of projects is testimony to the design expertise of ASEMA's engineering team.

Electrical Design

ASEMA fully designs, builds & tests all of the electrical & automation features that are required in each project. This compliments the mechanical design and allows ASEMA to provide its clients with complete support in a machines functionality, thus ensuring modifications & improvements can be performed easily & efficiently. All PLC and automation work is designed & managed in-house by ASEMA's electrical engineers.

Automation

Press & Tool Design

Presses and automated press-lines from 100 to 1000 tonne can be designed and supplied by ASEMA using press technology from Denmark, the world leaders in deep-drawing and electronic-shimming processes. This is accompanied by ASEMA's press tool design and manufacturing capabilities that are backed-up by years of tool design experience.

Manufacturing

ASEMA has a full range of production capabilities including, sheetmetal, CNC milling & machining, laser-cutting, MIG & Arc welding of carbon steels & alloys, TIG welding of Stainless Steel, and all folding, cropping & punching processes. In addition all assembly and site installation work is carried out by qualified personnel to ASEMA's uncompromising levels of quality & workmanship. Full certification documentation accompanies all work performed by ASEMA, including weld specs, load testing, operation & maintenance manuals and engineering sign-off. 

Project Management

Every project, no matter how large or small, has a Project Manager assigned to its control. This ensures a singular point-of-contact for information transfer thus preventing costly miscommunication problems and guaranteeing a smooth transition between the design, drafting & production elements of the project. ASEMA's client's benefit from this management process because of the instilled confidence that effective control provides. Minor issues are detected & rectified early thus preventing Murphy's Law from having any significant detrimental effect.

Performance Testing

ASEMA has access to almost every testing facility imaginable and the engineering resources to accurately analyze all test results. Some of the recent testing performed by ASEMA is; static & dynamic friction of plaster, compressive strength of a rice-hull composite, boat & yacht drag characteristics, SWL & stability tests of cherry pickers, weld etching to determine penetration & weld-zone hardness profiles, fire rating of monorail floor materials and strain gauging to validate finite element analysis results.

Occupational Hazard Management

Safety is a primary concern of all ASEMA employees and every project undergoes a rigorous Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment process (HAZID & RA) via Hazard & Operability studies (HAZOP) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Occupational health and safety regulations and acts require this to be done by law, whether designing, manufacturing or even importing plant & equipment. ASEMA can provide independent safety advice and solutions to our clients for any of their production or operational requirements.
