Tiivistelmä
This thesis is a part of a factory expansion project where the commissioning party (Admor composites Oy) wanted a new automated welding process plant to fulfil their need of manufacturing new transportation tanks with added sheet width. The project also aimed at reducing the number of workers and at cutting down the physical stress on the welding operator.
Admor Composites manufactures composite structured transportation tanks to transport liquid cargo and food products by road. When the company experienced a demand for new tanks with larger volumes, it decided to tackle the problem by increasing the composite sheet width, which led to a need for a new welding machine. To deal with the changes, the company needed a solution, which would allow them to optimize the welding process, thus increasing their productivity.
This thesis aimed at providing Admor Composites Oy with an optimal idea and a concept design for a cutting machine to automate the welding process and to overcome the new challenges faced by the company.
