Our Case Studies Accraply Rotary Drive Shaft

Our client designs and manufactures a variety of labelling machines that can be tailored to specific industrial applications. After 5 years of operation on one of the rotary labelling machines, the rotary drive shaft failed whilst running, causing a stop to production for our client’s customer. In order to minimise the loss in production and associated costs, EASL were contacted to perform a failure modes and effect assessment to inform the design of the replacement shaft, given our specialities in structural integrity and failure modes investigations.
