Important results from the project
The project´s purpose & goal is to develop a construction that meets the safety requirements for work in environments where the machine cab is tiltable up to 30 °. Examples of work areas are demolition work and tunnel construction. Today´s glass solutions for these tasks require external protection in the form of grilles or equivalent, and this has a major negative impact on the driver´s visibility, work efficiency and the safety of personnel outside the working machine. The finished solution will be tested in the field in collaboration with machine manufacturers and end customer.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The result of the project will be that machine operators can perform their work in a significantly more efficient and safer way. Today´s protection solutions in the form of grilles or equivalent become superfluous. This will have a positive impact on the speed of work, efficiency and the safety of ground personnel outside and around the machine. With maintaining safety for the operator. Today´s solutions only concern the safety of the operator, and do not take into account the other aspects we have identified. There our solution will make a big difference.
Approach and implementation
The project is carried out together with glass suppliers, machine manufacturer and suppliers of laminating materials. Great emphasis has been placed on testing of various glass constructions in combination with frame constructions. A number of test cycles have been carried out internally, and will continue to be carried out until we are satisfied with the outcome of several continuous tests. All manufacturing in addition to laminating glass is carried out in-house, from CAD to manufacturing, to ensure our control over the entire process. unfortunately affected in terms of time
