  2. Project Background:Electro-Spark Deposition

  3. Ultrasonic Impact Treatment

  4. Primary customer needs for this project: • Automate the use of the existing UIT gun • Perform UIT on a minimum 2 inch square flat surface • Provide oxidation/debris removal during UIT operation • Solution should be cost effective • Automation to be more consistent, accurate and safer than when done by hand

  5. Main Design Targets: • Automate existing handheld UIT application • Ability to treat minimum 2 inch square flat specimen area • Ability to provide an impact force to the work surface that is adjustable from 0 – 15 lbs • Adjustable feed rate in the X and Y directions • Ability to treat specimens of different thicknesses • Ability to treat various specimen shapes • Total cost less than $1000 • Combined weight less than 1500 lbs

  6. Alternative Solutions: Possible automation solutions: • Robotic Arm • Modular Servo Racks

  7. XY Table Pneumatically actuated UIT gun XY Table positions specimen Fully adjustable mounting capabilities Integrated with ESD coating process Gas shielding apparatus Adaptable for future optimization Design Solution:
