MATERIAL JOINTS

REPORTED PROBLEM

A company reported a need to create a joint system for variety of materials, for sandwich method and single-sided method. Such joints should be inexpensive and resistant enough to hold until seated in destination points. The report focused on the ability to join easily – particularly for initial charges.

ACTIONS

The production process as well as raw materials, equipment and technologies being used were all analysed. The source of the problem as well as the customer’s needs were determined. An initial analysis of joining possibilities was made, and then we selected the most adequate one for the final assembly model and specified requirement.

EFFECT

  • A single-sided method and a sandwich method in joining technology was chosen
  • Alternative joints as well as possible customers were presented
  • Possible automation for higher production scale was suggested
  • The company was provided with new product versions.
