Description of solution
Jack A8 is used in Assembly Shop M1, Line SK2. The original concept of this lifting device was a hydraulic scissor lifting mechanism. Such robust concept, however, was causing major shocks to the jack's construction, and so it tended to crack. Therefore, our colleagues from the Central Technical Service – Internal Repairs completely designed, made and installed a new lifting device based on electric power units.
Our Škoda FabLab team helped our colleagues in this project to verify the correctness of the new jack design, and we were also able to utilise the already well-known Mobile Diagnostics Kit. By using it, we measured the original lifting device, which showed really huge shocks, and then we also measured the new jack concept. Mere 20-percent shocks were registered with the new concept as compared to the original jack, even though the new lifting device has a speed of movement 2.5 times higher.
Benefits
- Verified correctness of the construction and functionality of the new lifting equipment concept
- Quantified improvement in the equipment properties by more than 80%
- Broadened know-how on how to use accelerometry and the Mobile Diagnostics Kit
