This article shows how to use the benefit analysis in the design process for decision making in design. The Excel document used here can be downloaded at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following example is chosen for illustration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A partial function is required for a machine. A stop pin is to be moved between two different positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Moving
Moving the pin is the required function<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Solution variants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the course of the construction, several possible solutions for fulfilling this partial function were created. These are<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variant 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Top
Top view, the rotating lever moves the slider<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pin stands on a guide carriage<\/a>. The guide carriage has a central recess into which a lever controlled by an electric motor engages. By turning the motor, the slide is moved between the two end positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variant 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The slider with a spindle drive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pin is placed on a guide carriage that is moved between the two end positions with a spindle drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Variant 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The slider is moved by a pneumatic cylinder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pin stands on a guide carriage and is moved between the two end positions by a pneumatic cylinder attached to the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establishing the evaluation criteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to carry out the benefit analysis, criteria must be found that are to be evaluated. Here you can find a collection of typical evaluation criteria in mechanical engineering.<\/a> In the present case this should be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
