Sammanfattning
The goal with this bachelor thesis was to develop an automated assembly station to
replace a manually operated assembly station at the internal combustion engine
producer Powertrain Engineering Sweden AB in Skövde, Sweden. The thesis has been
carried out at the Department of Industrial and Materials Science at Chalmers University
of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
A complete robotic station for automated assembly of balance shaft housings was
designed. After the requirements specification was compiled, a investigation was
initiated where, among other things, sub-solutions were investigated. The sub-solutions
were then used in morphological matrices to generate concepts followed by a elimination
and pughs matrix to systematically reduce the number of concepts. The final elimination
was done using a kesselring matrix.
Function tests and simulations was conducted to verify the functionality. Drawings and
CAD files were created. These will be used to build the station as well as a references
when maintenance or further rebuilds of the production line is carried out.
The finished robotic assembly station will improve ergonomics for the operators as well
as offer a possibility to reduce the staff needed to run the production line.
