AUTOMATING THE FEEDING OF A FUSE BOX FOR THE AUTO INDUSTRY

Răzvan CURTA, Mihai STEOPAN, Claudiu SCHONSTEIN, Florin URSA

Abstract


The general objective of the presented paper was to design and make an automated system for the feeding of a fuse box with automotive fuses, in order to decrease the number of the damaged fuses and to reduce the process time. To achieve this goal, we have focused on designing a simpler, cost-effective, easy-to-use and easily achievable mechanism with the purpose to be facile to implement within the industrial company. In order to design and model the concept, we used SolidWorks software and for the calculations for the motors and the ball-screw, the MathCad software was used. We took the concept from a type of Cartesian robot that is best suited to the requirements. Six Sigma methodology was used in the development stage of the product and finite element analyzes were performed to verify the structure of the automated system and to observe the strength of the used parts and the degree of their deformation.
