PLC/HMI programming and repair, SolidWorks weldments with shop drawings, and technical reports you can act on — from a team that builds and repairs heavy industrial equipment every day.
Every job is quoted fixed-price after I see your files. You get native source files, PDFs and a short handover note — not just pictures.
Ladder logic, HMI screens and communication faults on small-to-mid industrial machines.
Steel frames, stands, structures and machine parts modelled as real weldments — ready for the workshop floor.
Inspection, root-cause and repair-vs-replace reports that tell an owner exactly what to do next.
Client names are withheld. Every project below was delivered on working industrial sites.
A 5-section telescopic boom arrived with missing sheaves and ropes and no documentation from the maker. I measured it and modelled it in SolidWorks to find which sheaves and ropes were missing. The model showed that one section had been shortened by an earlier repair, so the advice was to lock that section and run on a derated load chart instead of guessing. I then supervised the boom remounting on site.
The client already owned a 3 t winch and wanted a goods lift built locally. Four UPN160 columns carry the structure and also act as the car guides, and 2:1 reeving gets the most out of the winch. The safety system is a wedge fall-arrest with hydraulic damping, and a rope-break simulation was used to check it.
Typical frame modelled from detailing data, with every joint checked for hole alignment. 37 drawing sheets were produced, and the few mismatches with the source data were flagged.
True weldment designed for an 8 t load. Peak bending stress is about 99 MPa, roughly 2.4× margin to yield. Includes a fabrication drawing with an automatic cut list in real 1.7 mm tube.
Removing the drive broke the shared RS-485 chain between HMI, PLC and drive. The HMI was rewired directly to the PLC and the orphan Modbus polling was removed from the HMI project. The PLC program needed no changes.
Root-cause report covering the chimney, vibrator and burner, which were each making the others worse. Includes a redesigned square-to-round chimney. Issued in 3 languages.
Seven findings rated by severity and root-cause hypotheses ranked. Four options were compared on cost, lead time and risk, with a clear decision gate.
Three-rod bonded earth array with inspection chambers so each rod can be tested every year. Tape joints replaced with proper lugs, panels rewired and labelled.
Drawings, photos, PLC/HMI backups, nameplates — whatever you have. A phone photo with a tape measure is a fine start.
I reply with what I understood, what's missing and a fixed price with a delivery date. Nothing starts until you agree.
Model, program or report — then checked against your data. Assumptions are written down, never hidden.
Native files + PDF + a short handover note explaining what was done and why.
I'm Fouad Alghareeb. I've spent 15+ years working on industrial equipment, including 8 years machining and fabricating for heavy equipment in Cyprus. Today I co-run an industrial maintenance company in Luanda, Angola, working on gensets, cranes, forklifts, production lines and the controls behind them.
IronLogic is the remote side of that work. The drawings, programs and reports I deliver come from someone who has stood next to the machine and knows what the workshop can actually build.
