Ludowici Exciter Guard – Ludowici Engineers

The challenge

Ludowici required an improved exciter guard that would enhance performance while reducing overall costs and production time. Traditional guards were often heavy, expensive, and time-consuming to manufacture, impacting both efficiency and practicality.

A new solution was needed to:

  • Decrease weight while maintaining strength and durability.
  • Reduce production time for faster turnaround and improved efficiency.
  • Lower manufacturing costs without compromising on quality and performance.

The solution

Through a strategic collaboration with Ludowici engineers, we developed an optimised exciter guard that:

  • Significantly decreases weight, making installation and handling easier.
  • Streamlines production, reducing manufacturing time and improving efficiency.
  • Cuts costs while ensuring the guard meets stringent industrial performance requirements.
  • Provides superior durability and reliability proven through rigorous testing, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and High-Frequency Vibration Testing.
