Design av sensor för tung industri : Fokus på utforming och design av sensor

Sammanfattning: This report describes the design development process of a idustrial sensor for the company Leine & Linde AB in Strängnäs, Sweden. Today Leine & Linde manufactures position and speed sensors but is looking to expand their product range with vibration sensors. Since Leine & Linde already have the equipment to construct and manufacture vibration senors, they can’t see any reasons not to do it.   This project is looking into the design of these sensors and how they can come to look. The project has been carried out by Melinda Tveit and Linda Schöldin, two students from Mälardalens University in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The main question for this project is how this sensor can be designed to be recognized as a Leine & Linde product, and at the same time perceived as a robust and quality product. The sensor is also designed for all the components that the construction require to fit into the design.   The method that is used is built of theories in product development and based on the tools that are relevant for this project. Information about construction and manufacturing methods are also the basis for the project. As a supplement to the information, a solid contact was held with a Leine & Linde designer throughout the project.   The result of this project came to be a proposition where the design of the sensor was expressed. The design takes into account all of the components that the construction requires and has also a small and robust design. The proposition has a round form and blue overlay which connects the sensor to Leine & Linde and their product family.
