The master's thesis presents the design and construction of a column cantilever crane for loading and unloading metal sheets onto the worktable of a CNC-plasma cutter. This includes defining and evaluating the steel structure and the moving parts of the crane in accordance with relevant European standards and the client's requirements. In addition to the standards, a computer analysis using finite element method was employed for evaluating the load-bearing elements. Based on the evaluation results, we determined that the crane was appropriately designed and subsequently modeled in 3D-modeling software.
