Design and manufacture of a machine for the production of styrofoam packaging

Diplomsko delo opisuje postopek izdelave namenske embalaže iz stiropora. V podjetju, kjer izdelujejo stekleničke za vodo, so potrebovali namensko embalažo za zaščito svojih izdelkov med transportom. Zahteva stranke je bila ustrezna embalaža za maloserijsko proizvodnjo, kjer izdelava orodja za stiroporno embalažo ne pride v poštev. V našem podjetju smo izdelali stroj za rezkanje in namensko orodje za izdelavo cilindričnih odprtin v kvadre iz stiropora. Stroj se lahko z menjavo orodja uporabi za izdelavo embalaže za druge izdelke. S tem diplomskim delom je podjetje pridobilo nov postopek izdelave maloserijskih izdelkov in razširilo ponudbo na področju izdelave embalaže iz stiropora.Dissertation is describing procedure of making dedicated packaging from Styrofoam.
