Saltängens Mekaniska AB – from 27-metric-ton bridges to chain conveyors with IRONCAD

About Saltängen's Mechanical

Since 1950, Saltängens Mekaniska AB has specialized in machining, repairs, and welding of large machine parts and other industrial structures. The workshop, spanning over 5,000 square meters, houses a machine park capable of handling most tasks, including turning operations up to 13 meters and a lifting capacity of up to 30 metric tons. This has made the company one of Sweden’s most trusted industrial partners in machining and welding.

The Challenge

The projects range from large, unique structures to industrial components. One example is Bridge K23 for the new Inre Hamnen residential area in Norrköping: 10 meters long, 6 meters wide, and weighing 27 metric tons, including fabrication, on-site assembly, and complete documentation. Manufacturing documentation must be produced quickly, and the solutions must be presented visually to both clients and internal teams.

Why IRONCAD

IRONCAD is a convenient tool that allows Saltängens Mekaniska to quickly and easily design and create manufacturing drawings, while also presenting various solutions to customers. The program is primarily used for sheet metal designs, flat patterns, steel frames, and cutting files.

How Saltängens Mekaniska Operates Today

  • Precise 3D models of machine parts, steel frames, and bridge structures
  • Manufacturing documentation, layouts, and cutting files generated directly from the model
  • Industrial components, such as chain conveyors for heating plants
  • Visual presentations of solutions for clients and internal teams

The result

Large and complex structures are delivered with high quality, speed, and precision, and the time from design to production has been reduced. Communication with customers has become clearer thanks to visual presentations.

IRONCAD is a convenient tool for us that allows us to design and create manufacturing documentation for our production quickly and easily. It also gives us the ability to visually present different solutions to our customers. We are very satisfied with the fast and excellent support we receive from Solidmakarna.
