The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
MAD BOYS GARAGE D.O.O. specialises in the ** restoration of vintage cars. Of course, vintage cars also undergo ** technical inspections, which are carried out in the same way as for modern vehicles. This is where we encounter the first problem, as very few companies on the market manufacture tools for removing the drum with the hub.
Problem
MAD BOYS GARAGE D.O.O. specialises in the ** restoration of vintage cars. Of course, vintage cars also undergo ** technical inspections, which are carried out in the same way as for modern vehicles. One of the most important points during the inspection is the ** functioning of the brakes**.
All well and good, but we have many vehicles whose brakes operate via brake shoes. A special feature of vintage cars is that the ** wheel hub** is attached to the brake drum.
Solution and method
This is where we encounter the first problem, as very few companies on the market manufacture tools for removing the drum with the hub. Therefore, it was decided that a universal tool could be designed and manufactured as an aid for servicing brake components on vintage cars. To be ** competitive** as a company, we must find our own solutions and make many tools ourselves.
What they will gain from this and why it is so important to have special tools will be explained in the diploma thesis. What the diploma thesis will contain. Of course, the diploma thesis will provide a theoretical explanation of how the brake mechanism is assembled on a vintage car.
How to design a new tool, ** sketches** and ** measurements. Selection of ** suitable material. They will research what hub sizes are available on the market.
They will check what the market offers and why the author can ** improve existing tools**. They will also check what the market requires and what their workshop needs. Calculation of tool manufacturing costs.
Manufacturing table and production process – time schedule for tool manufacture. Definition of materials for specific components of the tool and proper maintenance. Clear marking of the tool and size of markings.
They will provide a demonstration for safe handling of the tool. They will measure how much they have reduced the service interval, how much cost they have saved, as we currently always have the problem that we first have to make tools for different hub models.
