The purpose of the project is to make the adjustment of the sealing station more userfriendly and less time consuming. The employer Norden Machinery is a manufacturer of tube filling machines. The project is a part of the course degree project for bachelor in mechanical engineer at Karlstad University. The goal with the project is to investigate different concepts off adjustment of the sealing station. Theoretical investigation will need to be complemented with 3D-model and CAD-model. The assignment was carried with help of different methods in product development and started with a project plan that is divided into smaller steps. Subsequently, product specification containing a requirement specification clarifies what should be accomplished at the assignment. A concept generation was made in terms of generating as many concepts as possible. In order to choose the right concept, concept evaluation is carried out containing the elimination matrix and relative decision matrix. Finally, the layout design takes place where closer calculations and CAD-modeling in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling are performed. The result is a construction based on two angled wedges that slide on a slope. By using angles, desired gear can be obtained. Between the wedges is a shaft threaded on each side. Bevel gear wheels were implemented in the construction to enable the 90 degree rotation needed for the linking shafts. With the help of bevel gear, the movement can be started by a hand crank. In this concept, the exchange can be changed in several different ways. A risk analysis on the construction completed the project. To get a better sense of the constructions movement, a 3D-model has been printed.
