The title of the thesis, Launch of a actuator in the production process, includes the individual steps in upgrading a production line and the introduction of a new type of actuator in the manufacturing process.
In the first part of the thesis we introduce a family of actuators AMV/E 110 NL. Technical characteristics of actuators are presented and usage in applications together with the valve AB-QM is shown. Then follows a short description of Underwriters Laboratories, with the requirements, that have to be met, to achieve UL certification. This chapter describes the technical differences of the actuator AMI 110 NL from the actuators, which are being produced on the production line. What follows is the definition of the analysis FMEA and a part of the analysis PFMEA, which was made before the introduction of the actuator AMI 110 NL UL in the manufacturing process.
The second part describes the production line and the assembly process and testing of actuators before the change. Then all the changes to the production line are depicted. These include changes in lubrication procedures, introduction of new test palettes, introduction of automatic device for sub-assembly, hardware and software upgrades on testing device. Test procedure for the adequate quality of the product was introduced on the basis of the requirements of the product specifications.
In the last part, the new status on the line with the requirements of standard TS, is presented. It includes control plan, setting instructions, working instructions and working regime for this type of actuator.
