Minimizing headroom for dual drive industrial doors
(2025) MMKM10 20251Innovation
- Abstract
- This master thesis was done in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Sys-
tems, with the objective to find a standard lift solution for their overhead
sectional door 1142. The current solution has a minimum required headroom
of 900 mm, which means that there needs to be at least 900 mm between the
lowest part of the door and the highest part of the whole structure when the
door is open. While the standard lift solution for the 1042 has a set headroom
at 485 mm.
The defined problem was approached with the design process presented in
Ulirch & Eppingers Product Design and Development. Which includes Iden-
tifying needs, establish product specification, concept generation and concept

The defined problem was approached with the design process presented in
Ulirch & Eppingers Product Design and Development. Which includes Iden-
tifying needs, establish product specification, concept generation and concept
development. Two dimensional CAD simulations and full scale prototypes
were used to find empirical values for comparing the concepts.
The project resulted in two separate concepts, one that utilizes a moving top
attachment and the other a rigid mount being placed closer to the roof and
further out from the wall. Both decrease the minimum required headroom
compared to the current solution. With the movable top attachment allowing
for a headroom at 225 mm, and the other rigid allowing 525 mm. (Less)
