20180901 checking space

Onhand:

2020:

  • 10 sticks x 2.5m x (12 in each packet) = 300m = 120 lengths @ 20x20mm = 135kg @ 0.45 kg/m
  • Each packet 90mm x 60mm

2040

  • 40 sticks x 2.5m x (6 in each packet) = 600m = 240 lengths @ 20x40mm = 570kg @ 0.95kg/m
  • Each packet 90mm x 60mm

On Order:

2020

  • 2000kg @ 2.52m, approx 3600m = approx 1400 lengths @ 20×20
  • Assuming same packets = 120 packets
  • Between ceiling rafter = 6 packets across (6 x 60mm)
  • So 6 packets by 20 packets along (90mm dimension) = 1.8m along

2040

  • 1000kg @ 2.52m, approx 1000m = approx 400 lengths

2060

  • 500kg

2080

  • 500kg

What about 3030 series?

How much can we store under a 1m high workbench?

How much space does 3030 take:

  • Assuming 0.95kg/m
  • Assuming 4000kg
  • Assuming 3.65m lengths
  • = approx 1150 lengths 3030
  • How many can you fit 900mm high? (Assumes losing 100mm of our 1m to top/bottom etc)
    • = 900mm / 30mm = 30
    • so how many across = 1150/30 =  approx 38 = 1150mm wide
  • Conclusion: 4000kg 3030 at 3.65m lengths = 1150 lengths fits end on into 900x1150mm

So can we turn this into a usable workbench?

1400mm wide option looks useful:

  • So we would have  alum stacked in a rack 3.65m long by 1.4m wide to a height of 1m
  • Longways:
    • Allow 100mm space between outside wall and end of alum to keep dry
    • 3750 to other end of alum from side wall
    • Side wall needs room for cutting so can’t use first 500mm
    • From sidewall to edge of regular door = just under 3.6m
    • So maybe bench top = 3.2m x 1.4m
  • Will allow Pick & Place on 1 side & cnc machine on the other (700mm deep each one), or in a row with plenty of space on the other side
