Tiivistelmä
The thesis was done for HAMK University of Applied Sciences. The purpose of the work was to design and build a vehicle that could transport cassettes, specifically designed for this purpose, between points independently. The aim of the design process was to utilize alternative design solutions to simplify production and to keep costs low, in order to produce these vehicles as easily as possible.
In the theoretical part of this thesis, different alternatives are presented to solve the problem. A detailed description is given of how the design process was done, what solutions were discarded and why the current ones were chosen. Overview will be given on the computer tools used in this thesis.
In the empirical part of this thesis, the modeling, construction and testing of the vehicles is explained in detail. The occurred problems and the solutions will be brought out. This part of the thesis required understanding of electric circuits, mechanics, component assembly, strength of materials especially in sheet metal construction.
As a result of this thesis two lifter vehicle models were constructed. They both fulfill the expected requirements of accomplishing their tasks at hand.
Future developments can be made to the vehicles in the field of lifter system design, motor types, and alternative body options, depending on the requirements.
