Sidewinder was developed from the ground up using the latest software development tools and years of conveyor design experience. The program’s features interface and entire hierarchical structure was thoroughly laid out before development began. This resulted in a very flexible software package that can easily be upgraded with new features and technology in the future. The program can handle conveyors of any geometry, length, and drive configuration. Numerous advanced features have also been included such as; vertical and horizontal curve analysis, turnover and transition stress and requirements, quick geometry input, auto sizing and calculations of major components, terrain modeling, dynamic analysis, and much more.
International Standards & Calculation Methodologies (English and Metric Units)
Conveyors are found around the globe. From small in-plant conveyors to the large overland systems, and in all regions of the world. The ability for the software to perform calculations in both standard and SI units was an obvious must. Additionally, users can quickly switch units for all input and output data with a single mouse click. As there are several different calculation methodologies used worldwide, we have chosen to include all which we feel are the most relevant. Both the universally accepted DIN and CEMA standards are available. Other published methodologies are also available (Jonkers, Spans, etc). These methods use the specific belting rubber viscoelastic properties and other factors.
Multiple Language Support – All Inputs, Output, and Reports! (English / Spanish / Portuguese / Chinese / German /and more)
The software has been designed to support multiple languages for non-English speaking countries and areas. All inputs, outputs, and full word reports are available in many languages. The users can also switch between languages at any time by simply pressing the F12 key! Furthermore, if we don’t currently support your language we can send you an Excel spreadsheet in which you can fill in with your specific language. We will then implement this directly into the software free of charge!
High quality professional output files were at the top of the list when determining the most important engineering features to include in Sidewinder. A custom report editor is built into the software, as well as the ability to export reports directly to Microsoft Word documents and Adobe PDF files. Company logos and other custom information can be specified in the software. Pulleys, brakes, and other major equipment lists are generated which can be directly supplied for manufactures for quotations.
