A small team of engineers and technicians developed all the processes required to cut materials, precision form the plates, weld the shell pieces together, inspect, and complete the weldment to the highest quality. The team specified and\/or designed the cutting, bending, welding, inspection, and material handling production equipment.\u00a0The majority of the fabrication of this production equipment was done in-house by truly talented fabricators and welders. Automated controls and computer programs were also developed in-house to support the flow of the fabrication process, to ensure repeatability and quality, and to aid the operators of the equipment.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Sumitomo Heavy Industries (TYO: 6302), Link-Belt Cranes\u2019 parent-company, named Link-Belt the Gold Prize Winner of its President\u2019s Award in the area of quality and innovation for the equipment designed and built in house that produce high quality boom sections. \u00a0This project took years of research, design, and fabrication with a cross functional team dedicated to produce a high quality manufacturing process second to none in the crane business. Reliability of the manufacturing equipment is designed in and maintained thru a preventative maintenance program. Quality is built in from the first manufacturing sequence to the final product.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very proud of the men and women who have worked very hard to make this formed boom process the success it is today. This is just typical of all the great people that make Link-Belt the world class crane manufacturer that it has been in years past and still is today.\u00a0 Link-Belt will continue to innovate and grow for the benefit of our dealers and customers, who expect the best products from us, and for the sake of our wonderful employees and community,\u201d said Dan Harrington, Director, Production Engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly nine years after beginning the journey of producing its own formed boom, Link-Belt Cranes has produced its 10,000th boom that will be installed on a 140-ton (127-mt) TCC-1400 telescopic crawler crane, for shipment in the near future.
