Engineering technology has evolved much in the past centuries. The industrial machines has become complex also with robotics and computer controls. The part design process has also developed throughout the years. Optimized assembly lines for production.

I have the chance to work before on a Dry Cell Manufacturing plant and there are many specialized machines. There are different systems mostly linear motion machines such as Extruders. There are also rotary systems dispensers of Dry Cell Solution dispensers. The dusty environment of the plant affects the life span of the machines.

The manufacturing plant have an in-house machine shop which is used to that design and maintain the special machines. The designing and drafting section uses powerful computers and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to produce electronic drawings. A computer file or drawing library of the various spare parts is stored on the computer server for easy recognition of the spare parts shop.

A supplier of the parts also sometimes produce electronic parts design which is accessible to customers. I have seen Free Computer Aided Design (CAD) Drawings from supplier like Reid Supply Company (http://www.reidsupply.com/Cad.aspx) which is good for clients to have advance evaluation of the parts for easy integration into designs.
