- Abstract
- Reco Port AB is a company that builds folding garage doors and is a part of the ASSA ABLOY group. Reco uses Styrofoam as insulation in their doors and their current solution of cutting the Styrofoam is using a plunge saw and a custom built table to hold the Styrofoam in place. The solution is not ergonomic and spreads a lot of debris of Styrofoam around the workstation. Due to this it was requested for a machine that does
not spread debris and is ergonomic to use to be installed at Reco instead. Additionally the machine is to be automated and the machine needs to be CE-certified. To verify if the machine is good enough for installment a list of tests were made. The machine was designed, constructed and programmed, always with safety as...

By the end of the time for the thesis project the machine could pass most of the tests but some parts of the machine were provisionally built and will have to be changed. The biggest issue of the machine was the robustness and reliability. There are still some documents and tests to be made before the CE-certification can be set. Since the machine was not completely finished, the knowledge and responsibility of the machine was handed over to ASSA ABLOY so that the machine can be finished as soon as possible. (Less)
