Automatic Kerbstone Lifting Clamp – Mechanical Design & Manufacturing Implementation

Automatic Kerbstone Lifting Clamp — Mechanical Design & Product Development Complete mechanical development of an automatic kerbstone lifting clamp, from initial concept to manufacturing implementation. I was responsible for designing the mechanical solution and preparing the product for production. My responsibilities included: - Development of the mechanical concept and product design. - Design of an automatic mechanical gripping and release mechanism. - Preparation of manufacturing technology and production documentation. - Design and preparation of the required production fixtures. - Product testing and preparation of CE conformity documentation. - Preparation of operating instructions. - Implementation of the product into manufacturing. Technical solution: The device uses a mechanical system that automatically switches between gripping and releasing positions during the kerbstone handling cycle, reducing the need for manual intervention. Project outcome: The product was successfully implemented into production, with an estimated manufacturing cost of approximately PLN 700 and no identified manufacturing defects after production launch. Project background: Professional experience at MIMAL, Poland. Product demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alM0-k9esRw
