Plastivalu pressi automatiseeritud etteande parendamine

Käesoleva lõputöö käigus jõudis autor oma eesmärki hinnanguliselt täita 95% ulatuses. Autor hindas lõputööd alustades plastivalu pressi automatiseeritud etteande osa 3D mudeldamist mahu poolest väiksemaks, kui see reaalsuses oli. Sammuti ei osanud autor ette näha osade toodete ja detailide väga pikka tarneaega. Seetõttu autor ei jõudnud lõplikult lõputööle püstitatud eesmärgini. Küll aga tegi autor suure töö 3D mudeli detailse mudeldamisega, 3D mudelisse soovitud muudatuste lisamisega ning erinevate uute vajalike detailide disainimisega. Lisaks sai autor tehtud liini koostamiseks vajalike detailide joonised ja tellimused roostevaba terase ja alumiinium materjalist detailidele ja paljudele ostutoodetele. Plastivalu pressi automatiseeritud etteande osale viis autor sisse kuus mehaanilist muudatust. Lisaks täiendas dokumentatsiooni luues korrektse 3D mudeli. Muudatused ei olnud suured, kuid kuna ka väike muudatus võib mõjutada teisi liini osasid, siis tuli töö teostajal iga muutus hoolikalt läbi mõelda. Eesmärk oli teha liin paremaks ja ohutumaks. Autor alustas ka plastivalu pressi automatiseeritud etteande osa füüsilise koostamisega töökojas. Liini etteande osa ei jõutud lõpuni valmis, kuna mõningad detailid ei olnud veel kohale tarnitud lõputöö esitamise hetkeks. Sammuti sai autor valmis elektrikilbi sisu ning paigaldas selle plastivalu pressi automatiseeritud etteande raamistiku külge. Autor jätkab lõputöös alustatud liini ehitusega ka peale lõputöö esitamist ja viib liini ehituse lõpuni.

The following thesis „Improving the Automated Plastic Molding Press Feed" aim is to build automated molding press feed line for the plastic molding press in the NRC department of AS Norma. The new press feed line is better than the previous versions and has eliminated the shortcomings of existing automated plastic molding press feed line. The topic is important because the production volumes have increased and are known to increase even more in the near future, so the company needs a new advanced plastic molding press automated feed line to function better. In order to fulfill the goal, it is necessary to find the best technical solutions to eliminate the shortcomings of the existing lines. Find such solutions that could be implemented on already existing lines without making very large reconstructions. In addition, it is necessary to increase the safety of the line operator and supplement the documentation. In this thesis the author created a detailed 3D model of the line in Solidworks 2022 software, made the necessary changes into the 3D model, created drawings for custom details for CNC, laser cutting and bending. Finally, did the physical assembly of the line in the workshop, where the changes made are implemented and tested. During the thesis, the author was able to fulfill his goal to an estimated extent of 95%. When starting the thesis, the author estimated the 3D modeling of the automated plastic molding press feed line to be smaller in terms of volume than it was. Also, the author could not foresee the very long delivery time of some products and details. Therefore, the author did not reach the goal set for the thesis. However, the author did a great job with the detailed 3D model, adding the changes to the model and designing various new necessary details. In addition, the author created drawings and placed orders for stainless steel and aluminum material parts and purchased many products. The author also started the physical assembly of the automated molding press feed line in the workshop. The work was not completed, as some details had not yet been delivered at the time of submitting the thesis. The author completed the electrical panel and installed it on the framework of the automated molding press feed line.
