The thesis focuses on the strength analysis of the Unipress press, which is used for widthwise glueing boards into single-layer panels. The main goal is to ensure sufficient rigidity and stability of the press's structural beam during operation, which is crucial for producing high-quality panels. The analysis includes identifying and assessing the loads acting on the structural beam and determining their impact on the stability and performance of the press. The methodology includes the use of numerical simulations with Autodesk Inventor Professional software to model stresses and displacements using the finite element method (FEM). Additionally, analytical calculations are performed to determine the stresses and deflection at critical points of the structural beam, which serve as a basis for validating the results of the numerical simulations. Experimental measurements of the actual deflection of the structural beam during operation provide additional data for comparison and validation of the results. By comparing numerical simulations, analytical calculations, and actual measurements, the accuracy and reliability of the analysis are ensured. Based on these findings, improvements are proposed to reduce stresses and deflection at critical parts of the structural beam.
