Machine modification design

Abstract

Abstract The project was done in a medium-sized company known as Itä-Suomen Balanssi located in the city of Varkaus. The goal of the project was to upgrade the old mechanical equipment to fit the current demand and this was done by acquiring enough information about the equipment, the use of the equipment, by determining shortcomings of the equipment and solutions, for determining the shape of the individual part to be used, having the detailed dimensions of each part and then using the inventor program to prepare the drawing. As a result of this project, it can be said that modifying the old equipment reduces costs to the minimum in the sense that sixty-five percent of the new equipment price is cut-off, saves time and the familiarity of the equipment is constant. In this project, it is seen that equipment modification made life simple when thinking about future development because machine redundancy will be reduced.
