Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to improve the design of metal-enclosed switches for ABB Smart Power products, with a particular focus on optimizing the enclosure design and documenting the requirements of the enclosed switch standards. The objective was to create an enclosure that meets industry standards while reducing the need for traditional fastening components such as screws and gaskets. A welded frame was used in the design, which allowed for an improved and simplified visual appearance. As a design method, the PTC Creo 3D design software was used to create two different prototypes.
The result of the thesis was a welded prototype that not only met the technical and aesthetic criteria of the design, but also improved the overall quality of the product. The thesis demonstrates that the use of welding techniques in the manufacture of metal coils can reduce production costs and the number of components required.
