SOLUTIONS OF STEEL

Slide 2: 

Down at the Chrysler factory, car hoods for the Dodge Stratus are being produced.

Slide 3: 

The machine making the hoods is called a hemmer. It produces hoods by taking two sheets of steel and stamping them together.

Slide 4: 

However, the hemmer’s belt is slipping. This puts the pieces that roll across the belt out of position, so that when they are stamped, it makes a bad hood.

Slide 5: 

The factory now throws away many bad parts, and their assembly plant charges them for every bad hood they make! If this keeps up, we’ll be charged nearly $200,000 a year!

Slide 6: 

Let’s call Team ID! They'll help us!

Slide 7: 

Hi, I’m DistribuDude, and I’m from Team ID! I’m here to blast away your problems! Hmm… this belt looks odd. Have you tried to fix it already?

Slide 8: 

The maintenance man gulps and slowly pulls out a bottle of powdered bleach. We’ll…we’ve been buying cases of this stuff to pour on the belt, but all it’s done is kept us busy and eaten up the belt!

Slide 9: 

DistribuDude switches their pulley system from a smooth V-belt drive to one with teeth to grip the pulley. He also makes sure the new belt is made of slip-resistant urethane instead of slick rubber. That’ll never do! I’ve got something much better.

Slide 10: 

Not with this! It’s a keyless locking device that can lock onto any shaft, even this one! But what about the shaft? The old pulley broke it, and it’ll take days to fix!

Slide 11: 

You can always count on Team ID! Wow, thanks DistribuDude! Thanks to you, our maintenance problems have gone from constant to zero!
