Injection Molding Specifications Preliminary Specifications • Material: Polycarbonate • Injection Temp: 550 °F • Mold Temperature: 220 °F • Injection Pressure: 800 Bar • Shot Size: ~0.75 in3
Mold Creation Specifications Preliminary Mold Machining Specifications • Machined on HAAS 4x mill • 6061 aluminum stock • 20+ hours machining time per part • Using ¼” to 1/32” end mills • High quality finishing required • Integrated core and ejector pins
Through Pin • Metalworking Steps • Feed square bar stock into CNC lathe. • Turn stock down to desired diameter at appropriate locations. • Slit saw stock with CNC mill to obtain end slit on the pin for torsion spring. Cold Finished 1018 Steel Square Bar Stock
Hex Shaft • Metalworking steps -Load bar into CNC Lathe -Rotary Broach in CNC Lathe -Mount in mill fixture for Square broaching Cold Finished 1018 Steel Round Stock

Critical Tolerances and Quality Control • Critical Tolerances: • The 4 screw pins on the top and bottom casings • Broaching hole on hex shaft for through pin • Bit cap interface with casing halves • QC: • Go/no go gauges for top and bottom casings, broach for through pin will be applied to all manufactured parts. • Measuring 1st manufactured component on CMM and then every 3rd for the first 50 on calipers
Adjustability of Mechanism Since the system will most likely need tuning, parts are easily adjustable -Removable mold insert can be changed to adjust bearing tolerances -Adjustable rig to change cut length of compression springs -Slit saw cut angle can be adjusted to change torsion spring pretension
Battery Contacts Rapid Prototype Dies and Water Jet Pattern to get perfect contact shape Use Existing 1/4” copper material in AML
Battery Contacts Proposed Plan: Use hydraulic press to make contacts Modify female and male press parts on press
Assembly Operations • Electronics Subassembly • Spring Subassembly • Overall Construction
Electronics Subassembly Final Electronics Subassembly Soldering Jig
Electronics Subassembly continued Heat Staking Fixture
Torsion Spring Placement • The Torsion spring requires one arm to be pre-tensioned one-half turn. • It would be loaded onto a slotted static shaft, and then bent, and slid into position by a simple collar.
Final Assembly • Utilize Adept • 3 End Effectors Shaft Placement/Rotation Gripper/Flipper Screwdriver • Pallets/Feeders • Bottom, Button, Shaft Subassembly • Top, Bits, Bit Cap • Assembly Fixtures Top Fixture Clamping/Screwdriving

AML Budget • Broken down into Component, Manufacturing & Assembly • Component has 15% overhead for shipping costs. • Manufacturing & Assembly has 30% overhead for additional purchases. • Best Case • The best case AML budget was created taking into account the items that may already be in stock in the AML or available at no charge. • Worst Case • The worst case AML budget was created by using the suggested AML budget values as found in the course syllabus.
Manufacturing and Assembly Budget Part II 30% overhead added for purchase of some materials
Summary • Sum of Best Case AML Component, and Manufacturing & Assembly Budget • $4,346 • Sum of Worst Case AML Component, and Manufacturing & Assembly Budget • $10,759
