Ankeny

A mold dowel bar fractured and it was decided to repair it and make a stabilizing support with thread to hold the bar and avoid the bar colliding due to displacement. The dowel bar cost $300 and the useful cycle time of a dowel bar is approximately 150,000 cycles, so a dowel bar would have to be changed 3 times a year, but with this thread adaptation, the useful time can be tripled, thus saving $900 a year on the dowel bar.
