Triangle’s Belly Band Motor Mount Design Simplifies Sourcing and Supports Assembly
Small inefficiencies in the mounting process on high-volume production lines can lead to assembly stalls, delays, and ultimately, higher labor costs. Traditional methods for motor mount installation often require all sorts of tedious maintenance, like adjustments, tool alignment, and excessive hardware modifications - all leading to an increased risk
in part variability, slower output, and less product reliability. On top of that, manual motor mounting is challenging and causes inconsistencies in alignment and installation.
Triangle’s Belly Band Motor Mount fixtures are a customizable, adjustable, secure solution that accelerates and streamlines installation, improves assembly quality, and reduces physical labor requirements. Triangle’s fast-install motor mount fixtures are able to save OEMs time and money on the assembly floor. This is how:
Faster installation Means A Stronger Assembly Line
When handling production output, every single additional minute spent on inefficient motor fastening or alignment can lead to a reduction in productivity. A lean assembly process and a speedy motor installation leads directly to time and money savings in motor mounting.
Triangle has developed a belly band motor mount fixture designed to take over mount installation. With our assembly fixture, our customers are able to spend less time on installation and more time operating with ease, consistency, and repeatability. Our design has quick and easy adjustment capabilities and tool-friendly considerations, without the need for manual alignment.
Versatility for different motor sizes
SKU consolidation has become the leading strategy for OEMs in need of streamlining their procurement process. Sourcing mounting components, systems, and partial assemblies for each motor model in production increases SKUs and the number of vendors - making procurement complex. Part compatibility for motor mounting is a highly sought-after solution for developing and maintaining a smooth assembly process.
With Triangle, motor mounting solutions are highly customizable with compatibility and ease in mind. Our design accommodates a range of frame sizes with minimal SKU expansion. The need for multiple mounting fixtures and manual involvement is reduced within the assembly line, allowing for higher inventory and sourcing optimization. By consolidating motor mounting solutions with Triangle, OEMs are able to see an overall increase in production reliability and consistency.
Engineer-Friendly, OEM Performance-Driven
Unstandardized or unstable motor mounts and mounting methods increase vibration, cause more wear and tear on components, reduce motor life, and create more opportunities for safety risks. All of these factors impact the performance and longevity of motor parts.
Triangle understands how important vibration control, secure mounting, and equipment safety is for reliable and effective motors. Built with stability and strength in mind, Triangle’s engineer-friendly mounting fixtures ensure precise alignment every time. Additionally, our motor mount design minimizes the risk of excessive wear even under load. With Triangle, our low-vibration motor mounts and precision alignment mounting fixtures are a durable solution that supports assembly for engineers and provides reliable performance and meets safety and compliance standards for OEMs.
Smart Sourcing Opportunities with High Value
Many production lines struggle with redesigns and inconsistent mounting parts interrupting assembly, driving up costs, and adding to sourcing complexity. Procurement challenges surrounding finding consistent mounting parts in tandem with the cost of mount redesigns makes a smooth production cycle feel impossible for many OEMs.
Triangle ships arm and belly band components unassembled, allowing for more efficient packaging with more parts in fewer boxes. With Triangle, procurement is made simpler with less expensive shipping costs, consistent part performance, and scalable production and delivery. With Triangle, a trusted motor mount supplier, components have long-term availability. Additionally, our mounting fixtures produce repeatable results in the assembly process.
Fewer vendor changes and cost stability across production is made possible through a stable supplier relationship and predictable component sourcing with Triangle Manufacturing.
North American-Based Manufacturing with Global Reach
Long lead times on overseas shipments of critical installment fixtures can stall production, severely impact schedules, and increase cost. As a domestic motor mount and mounting fixture supplier, Triangle is able to reduce lead times while supporting the local economy. Made in the US with fast turnaround, Triangle delivers motor mount components whenever and wherever OEMs need them. Triangle’s motor mount production prioritizes the needs of OEMs while supporting global production. Our customers are able to receive US-made motor fixtures and components with shorter lead times and no compromises on quality.
Faster, Safer, Simpler Assembly
Triangle’s motor mount solutions, whether it be our belly band motor mount components or mounting fixtures, solve key pain points of OEMs and on the assembly line by reducing time required for installation, simplifying SKUs and sourcing, and improving performance. All made possible through a scalable and engineer-tested process. With streamlined motor mounting and efficient motor fixtures, OEMs are able to focus on production instead of worrying about quality, reliability, and longevity.
Triangle, a company built by engineers, for engineers, knows that engineers will benefit from a safer, simpler assembly process using consistently reliable, high performance parts. Triangle also knows how to help OEMs with efficient procurement and SKU consolidation strategies, making our parts cross-functionally valuable to both OEMs and engineers. With Triangle Manufacturing solutions, engineering and procurement are better aligned to help our customers get done what they need to get done, faster.
