Design of a Pivotally Tool Holder

<p>Ljunghäll AB in Södra Vi has many industrial robots in their casting production. These</p><p>robots have a tendency to wear out. The purpose with this thesis was to design a toolholder</p><p>that was able flip to a 90 degree angle to get a more flexible production but also to</p><p>lessen the wear on the robot.</p><p>Parts of David G. Ullman and Ulf Liedholm’s design processes was used as a base for</p><p>the solutions and the conceptual design.</p><p>A number of concepts where made and one of them evaluated to be a refined concept.</p><p>The result became a tool-holder that used an air-motor and two spur gears to rotate the</p><p>plate where the tool is mounted to a 90 degree angle. According to the calculations that was</p><p>made, both by hand and by the computer program COSMOS, the concept should work</p><p>in practice. A prototype ought to be made to guarantee the function of the concept.</p>
