iTOWERS Detailer
Is a revolutionary product developed
to automatically generate Assembly and
Shop Floor drawings. Designed to crash
the bottlenecks, iTOWERS
Detailer effectively combines
the functions of a designer and a draftsman
into one. Utility companies can now
aim at early implementation of projects,
thereby cruising through engineering
bottlenecks.
Equipped with powerful utilities,
an easy to use interface and a common
detailing database, iTOWERS
Detailer provides for complete
generation of tower assembly drawings
in record time. Detailing of a 132kV
tower can now be achieved within a
few hours!
One of the key features of iTOWERS
Detailer is the Tower Profiler,
which offers various methods of inputting
data to iTOWERS
Detailer for the generation
of Assembly Drawings. This data can
be directly read through IMI’s
tower design software iTOWERS
Designer. However, iTOWERS
provides interfaces that can read
data from standard text formats or
from third party tower designing software
such as STAAD.
The Tower Modeler utilizes data from
the Tower Profiler. This feature presents
you with a 3-Dimensional Tower Model
reflecting Back-marks, Butt and Lap
Joints, actual Tower Member sizes.
2-D Assembly Drawings are genera
ted for any surface selected by the
user or even for the complete tower.
These drawings are drawn with all
computations calculated in 3D. Shop
drawings for members and plates are
generated by a single click of the
mouse. An interactive Shop Drawings
browser is provided by which the user
can browse through all the shop drawings
of the available members and plates.
The Bill of Materials, generated
by iTOWERS
Detailer, gives a complete
list of all items, their weights along
with section sizes. This data can
then be exported to standard applications
such as Microsoft® Excel®,
Microsoft® Access® and so
on.
iTOWERS Detailer
comes packed with a material optimizer
as well. The material optimizer gives
a complete picture of the members
used on the tower, their weight, prices
and the percentage of material wastage.
Using intuitive interfaces that have
been provided, the user can effectively
optimize the use of materials on the
tower thus saving on costs.
iTOWERS Detailer
provides a CNC link through special
interfaces by which, the data from
the generated assembly drawings can
be fed to a CNC device.
