At THR Machinery, we believe the best custom equipment is built when customer engineers are involved throughout the design process. Using Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or other online meeting platforms, we conduct weekly online design reviews so engineers can see machine progress before fabrication begins. These meetings allow customer feedback to be incorporated early, helping prevent costly changes, reduce project risk, and ensure the final machine meets production requirements.
Benefits of Weekly Online Design Reviews
✓ Engineers can review the machine design before fabrication begins
✓ Problems can be corrected early instead of after the machine is built
✓ SolidWorks screen sharing lets your team see the actual machine design
✓ Your engineers can apply their real production knowledge to the design
✓ Known part failures and process issues can be addressed before build
✓ Tooling, operator access, safety, and controls can be reviewed together
✓ Reduces costly changes, delays, and machine launch problems
✓ Helps ensure the final equipment fits your process, parts, and operators
At each review, engineers can evaluate machine layouts, tooling concepts, safety features, controls, operator interfaces, and part presentation methods. THR Machinery designs in SolidWorks, allowing us to share our screen during online meetings so you can see exactly how your machine is being designed. Your engineering team can provide input based on your process, known manufacturing problems, part failures, and production requirements before the machine is built. Most meetings last less than one hour, and many take only a few minutes.
See Your Machine Before It Is Built
What Happens During a Design Review?
✓ Review machine progress since the previous meeting
✓ Discuss tooling, fixtures, and part presentation
✓ Review safety features and operator interaction
✓ Verify controls, sensors, and automation concepts
✓ Identify potential manufacturing concerns early
✓ Approve design changes before fabrication begins
✓ Keep projects moving forward with clear communication
Since 1995, THR Machinery has worked closely with customer engineering teams to develop custom assembly equipment, leak test systems, fixtures, brazing equipment, and automation solutions. Weekly online design reviews help ensure your equipment is built correctly the first time while reducing costly engineering changes later in the project.
