<p>In cooperation with the Gislaved company Lerocon AB [1], a separation module was</p><p>designed as a further supplement to the Module System. The aim of the</p><p>projectimplementation was that the separation module could be flexible enough to feed the</p><p>metal pieces, screws, nuts and other items with large variations of size, appearance and</p><p>material composition. The module should also be cost effective to manufacture.</p><p>A separation module is a design which is ment to streamline the work in industries with</p><p>automation of the lineoperations. The module feeds the details such as screws, nuts, washers</p><p>and pieces of metal in a continuous flow in which traps separate the details from each other.</p><p>Traps may vary depending on the purpose and of the details that are fed. Perhaps it is</p><p>important for the user that the detail-orientation is right after the separation module, which</p><p>means that all the pieces witch aren´t are fed back in return.</p><p>For companies and industries in lineoperations that can be made more efficient with</p><p>automation, are production flow an important watchword. The company's various "stations" in</p><p>the line can not afford time delays from the previous processes in which this leads to great</p><p>economic losses for the company. Thus, it is very important for our separation module that the</p><p>retail flow is evenly to minimize time delays.</p><p>The projectstructure is divided into three phases. The first part focused on studying and</p><p>information retrieval of pre-existing separation modules to get a better idea of the features. In</p><p>the second stage possible solutions and ideas where presented, and then evaluated, with a</p><p>more transparent 3D model developed in CATIA V5 R18 [2] - [4]. The last phase of the</p><p>project consisted of building a mechanical model to evaluate and test the critical parts of the</p><p>construction.</p>
