The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The diploma thesis addresses the analysis of cable drum manufacturing and compares the ** manual welding process with the robotic welding process. In the conclusion of the diploma thesis, he ** compared both manufacturing methods, both from the cost perspective and the quality itself. He calculated the savings and used graphs to show the cost values for both manufacturing processes.
Solution and Method
The diploma thesis addresses the analysis of cable drum manufacturing and compares the ** manual welding process with the robotic welding process**. The diploma thesis was created based on a real case study in the company BJB strojno ključavničarstvo, which, due to a larger volume of orders, faced a dilemma: to continue manufacturing cable drums with the existing production process or to invest in upgrading technological equipment, specifically a robotic cell. In the first part of the diploma thesis, he presented material joining techniques with an emphasis on MIG/MAG welding using specialist literature.
He described the MIG/MAG welding process, the technological characteristics of the process and the necessary equipment for MIG/MAG welding. The advantages and disadvantages of welding with the mentioned process are also shown. In the continuation, the practical part presents the entire process of cable drum manufacturing.
Based on the practical example, he obtained the necessary data and then presented it within the analysis of cable drum manufacturing and calculated the cost price. The chapter is divided into the manual manufacturing process and the robotic manufacturing process of the cable drum. In the table analysing manual welding work and in the table analysing work in the robotic welding method, individual activities and duration are described, which represent the starting point for calculating standard times.
Results
In the conclusion of the diploma thesis, he compared both manufacturing methods, both from the cost perspective and the quality itself. He calculated the savings and used graphs to show the cost values for both manufacturing processes. Within the umbrella topic, he described the field of safety, which is a very important factor in the manufacturing process.
Finally, in the concluding section, he provided an answer to the stated hypotheses and presented his view on the financial viability of investing in a robotised production method. The diploma thesis offers a valuable insight into the advantages and disadvantages of both studied production processes and provides important findings for companies facing similar technological challenges.
