Användning av laserprojiceringsteknik inom tillverkningsprocesser

Sammanfattning: All companies strive for increased quality and productivity in their operations by streamlining resource use and / or using new technology. This has led them to try to find new technical solutions that can be integrated into production as part of the improvement process, and that can drive the improvement work in the company forward.   The purpose of this study is to identify opportunities for the use of laser projection technology in manufacturing processes and to study whether there may be a potential to use the technology in parallel with the manual activities. The study presents various theories about laser projection technology and identifies important concepts, and it is conducted at Hitachi-ABB in a sheet metal workshop department within their production of transformers. To do this, several interviews and observations have been conducted within their factory in Ludvika, and a company that supplies laser projection products has been contacted to study their products and find a product that fits.   The result has been that the company Faro supplies laser projection technology solutions and has suitable products that can minimize disruption to manual work and can replace a large part of the measurement, etching and quality control that is performed in the Detail area of ​​the sheet metal workshop department. Faro Tracer has not been tested in the workplace, but a comparison has been made between data collected from Hitachi-ABB and the technology supplier Faro. However, further studies must be performed where the technology can be tested on-site.
