We accomplished the development of forged components for the machining of transmission gears for heavy duty trucks. Questum offered an integral solution by supplying steel from a mill approved by the customer and did the heat treatment required as well as the finishing and packing processes.
The mounting frames are a component of the loader for the John Deere tractors that support front attachments like the shovel. Currently this component is made from metal plate and welding. Questum participated with the John Deere engineering team to convert this component to cast iron made, in order to improve manufacturing costs.
Benefits
Design improvement for its adaptation to other models and markets of loaders.
Costs reduction due to design improvements of the new Mounting Frames model.
Open up manufacturing capabilities on John Deere’s factory floor due to the elimination of current workstations by the purchase of the component instead of producing it.
Testimonial
The interaction and active communication between the commercial and engineering teams of both companies, has been a key factor for the success in the implementation of the Mounting Frames 520M project.
