Concept Study of Optimized Coin Acceptance Module
(2014) MMK820 20141Innovation
- Abstract
- The aim of this master thesis was to conduct a concept study to optimize SCAN COINs Coin Acceptance Module (CAM) with focus on cost reduction and a shortened assembly time. SCAN COIN is one of the world leading companies for cash processing machines. The CAM is a central component in most of SCAN COINs machines and is the component in which coin counting and sorting takes place. There are two variants of the CAM, one which both counts and sorts coins (CAM 208) and one which only counts them (CAM 200). This concept study covers them both but with slightly more focus on the CAM 208. The work should result in a completely new conceptual design and new manufacturing techniques but with the same basic technical principle for identifying,... (More)

There are two variants of the CAM, one which both counts and sorts coins (CAM 208) and one which only counts them (CAM 200). This concept study covers them both but with slightly more focus on the CAM 208. The work should result in a completely new conceptual design and new manufacturing techniques but with the same basic technical principle for identifying, counting and sorting coins, which SCAN COIN can use as a foundation for the development of a new generation of CAMs.
A large portion of the work was spent on analyzing the product to achieve a good understanding of the problem at hand and to find any problem areas and/or restrictions which could be important for the future work. The first step of the analysis was to gather all information there was about the CAM. After this the CAM was divided into modules to ease the optimization. These modules were, to some extent, developed independently and later on combined to a final CAM concept.
Much of the optimization work is based on the method Design for Assembly (DFA) and platform-based product architecture. Focus was put on reducing the differences between the two CAM variants, making the parts cheaper, reducing the number of parts and reducing the number of fasteners like screws, nuts and rivets. In order to reduce part costs some effort was put on replacing metal parts with injection molded plastic parts.
In order to verify that the design of a new system for receiving, separating and sending coins would work, a mockup of the affected area were made.
The result is presented both as digital models of the new optimized CAM and as estimation of cost and assembly time reduction (Less)
