Development of a Production System: Process Optimization and Component Development

Abstract

This project focuses on the development of a bearing used in agricultural harvesters, based on a real model from the manufacturer. The component, located at the front of the machine, is responsible for coupling the feeder and conveying the harvested material to the threshing system. With predefined dimensions and functions, the study aims to select the most suitable material, define the manufacturing process, and ensure the technical and economic feasibility of the product. Tools such as 3D modeling, technical review, and functional analysis were used to propose an efficient, durable solution suitable for the demanding conditions of the field
