Abstract (Swedish)
Detta examensarbete, utfört i samarbete med ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, syftar till att utveckla en ny ramsektion för industriella takskjutportar. Takskjutportarna är en del av den befintliga produktportföljen och finns i två olika tjocklekar, 42 och 82 mm. Dörrarna är uppbyggda av antingen panel- eller ramsektioner, eller en kombination av båda. Den 82 mm tjocka dörren används när det finns ett behov av bra isolering. Målet med projektet var att färdigställa en design för en ny ramsektion med tjockleken 82 mm, kallad OH1082FI, eftersom dessa inte finns idag. Huvudsyftet med detta projekt var att erbjuda en ramsektion för den 82 mm tjocka dörren, med låg värmeöverföring, även kallat U-värde.

Huvudsyftet med detta projekt var att erbjuda en ramsektion för den 82 mm tjocka dörren, med låg värmeöverföring, även kallat U-värde.
Projektet har följt de steg i produktutvecklingsprocessen som presenteras av Ulrich och Eppinger relativt fritt. Dessa steg inkluderade en undersökning av kundernas behov, utveckling och val av koncept, samt test av koncepten. Olika konstruktioner och material för ramsektionen har undersökts. De slutliga koncepten jämfördes och verifierades genom FEA-simuleringar samt U-värdeberäkningar.
Resultatet är en ny ramsektion, uppbyggd av aluminiumprofiler samt isolerande profiler i polyamid förstärkt med glasfiber. Ramprofilerna är även fyllda med polyetenskum, för att isolera profilerna och uppnå ett lågt U-värde.
I detta projekt dras slutsatsen att den nya ramsektionen är ett möjligt tillskott till företagets produktportfölj och är speciellt attraktiv för kunder som är intresserade av att förbättra sin energianvändning samt inomhusklimat. (Less)
Abstract
This Master Thesis, executed in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, aimed at developing a new frame section for industrial overhead sectional doors. The overhead sectional doors are a part of the existing product portfolio and exist in two different thicknesses, 42 and 82 mm. The doors are built up by either panel or frame sections, or a combination of both. The 82 mm thick door is used when there is a need for good insulation. The goal with the project was to finalise a design for a new frame section with the thickness of 82 mm, called OH1082FI, since these does not exist today. The main purpose of this project was to offer a frame section for the 82 mm door, with low heat transmission, also referred to as U-value.

The main purpose of this project was to offer a frame section for the 82 mm door, with low heat transmission, also referred to as U-value.
The project has followed the steps in the product development process described by Ulrich and Eppinger freely. These steps included investigating customer needs, developing, and choosing concepts, as well as testing the concepts. Different designs and materials for the frame section have been investigated. The final concepts were compared and verified through FEA-simulations as well as U-value calculations.
The result is a new frame section, built up by aluminium profiles as well as thermal breaks in polyamide reinforced with glass fibre. The profiles are also filled with polyethylene foam, to insulate the profiles and achieve a low U-value.
In this project it is established that the new frame section is a possible addition to the company’s product portfolio and is specifically attractive for customers interested in improving their energy use as well as indoor climate. (Less)
