In this bachelor thesis we will present our development and design of a universal tensile testing machine made for FA-TEC i Falkenberg AB capable of creating a pulling force of 1 MN which is approximately equal to a load of 100 tonnes. The purpose of the machine is to allow for the company to further their inhouse capabilities of tensile testing of their diverse steel products, allowing them to streamline and reduce delivery time and cost. The goal is for FA-TEC to be able to assemble the construction themselves in their metal workshop and put the machine into use this fall 2024. The project focuses on the design process and how and why we make different choices in reference to different perspectives such as safety in the form of solidity of the design and work environment. We also have a requirement specification as well as other limiting factors like available equipment for construction, subcontractors production catalog, work space and a deadline. The methodology we used is inspired by the method from the book “Product Design and Development” by Karl T. Urlich, Steven D. Eppinger, and Maria C. Yang. Chosen methodology is crossed by product development and semantic discontinuity detection by using FEA to conduct calculations of the construction giving us valuable feedback we can use to optimize and change the design, this is then done in multiple iterations until we arrived at our final design.
