New product development seems like a good way to start the year.
Some of you reading this may have heard that we’ve been busy with new reel designs for a while now. Whilst we have a couple of projects in the pipeline, the one that has taken off is the Vulcan 500. We made some prototypes last year and have been testing them both in the shop and on the rivers.
The amount of man hours and the current machine time to scan the blades into the unique twist design is currently extremely high. We are working on ways to make this commercial viable, primarily with machine tool paths with the latest CAD/CAM package we have recently purchased. The end product will incorporate the blade design and be developed from these prototypes shown.
Feedback will be appreciated.
