Programme: Mechanical engineering / Industrial economy

Course: MT2554 Value Innovation

Corporate partner: Lyckegård

Challenge: The objective of the project was to analyze the agriculture weed control machine CombCut made by Lyckegård Group AB and find an innovative refinement of the CombCut.

Solution: The solution improves the coupling function of the rotating axises that controls the brushes which removes the cut of weeds from the knives.

Impact: The user friendliness for the farmers improves. It makes transportation between the fields easier.

Prototypes: yes, the coupling uses a female and male connection in the shape of a cone.
