Project goal
An annular construction is used in an automatic coffee machine covered with a silicon ring. For maintenance reasons the silicon ring is taken out of the machine for cleaning. Dismantling the annular structure could only be done by the maintenance technician by using large forces with the chance of spoiling liquids or damaging delicate parts.. Ideally the forces should be between 10 to 14 N.
