Abstract

The topic of this thesis is the modification and modernization of a vulcanizing press. First, the necessity of modifying the vulcanizing press is thoroughly justified, followed by a presentation of the modernization process steps, analyzing the requirements, expected outcomes, and benefits. During the modification, a fre quency-controlled three-phase electric motor replaced the pneumatic cylinder in the new design. This motor transmits power to the input shaft via a worm gear, which is connected to the rotating shaft through a rubber plug coupling. The rotating shaft was fitted with new bearings, which were installed in a custom-made bear ing housing. The thesis provides a detailed explanation of how the pneumatic rotary actuators of two press travel beams were converted to electric operation. After designing the necessary components for moderniza tion, the manufacturing technology was also developed. A schedule was created for constructing the new de sign, based on which the vulcanizing press was successfully modified. The article also reports on operational experiences following the modification.
