Project scope
Height-adjustable desks are increasingly popular in modern workspaces, placing high demands on the mechanical performance of their components. One key element is the glide system within the leg structure, which must ensure low friction and high stability. Today’s production process requires manual adjustment of each glide system, adding complexity and cost.
This thesis explores the development of a self-adjusting glide system that removes the need for measurement or machining during assembly. The work focuses on mechanical design, plastic part development, CAD modeling, prototyping, and test & verification. Multiple design concepts will be generated and evaluated, with selected solutions further developed and validated. The goal is to enable a more streamlined and flexible production process while maintaining high product quality.
