Flip LabelUpdate Presentation 2-5-10 Rev 1
Presentation Goals • Slides guide discussion • Inform about recent progress • Summarize make vs. buy options • Aligning • Labeling • Discuss next steps • Prepare for next week’s detailed design review Rev 1
ROI Calculations • Based on a given number of minutes per day, 5 days a week, for two years • Does not include benefits and other costs associated with employees • 10% IRR • Flipper and aligner estimate based on repurposing two employees • Flipper, aligner and labeler estimate based on repurposing four employees • Total cost for 2 lines Rev 1
Budget Estimates Rev 1
Aligner Proposed Design Rev 1
Variable Speed Twin-Belt Conveyor System • Outside vendor to supply conveyor system • Possible Vendors: • Kleenline Corporation • Lipe Automation • Lead Time: Unknown • Capabilities: Full/Half-width product • Cost: Unknown Rev 1
Pusher System • Electric Linear Actuators are triggered by object detection beam. • Sliding pusher-plate contacts product and gently pushes to center of conveyor. • Logic controller allows for use on all product lines. • Products end up in single file line, to safely continue through x-ray detection. • Very compact system Rev 1
System Integration and Occupancy • Pusher System has marginal impact on space constraints • Variable speed twin belt conveyor system Rev 1
Flipper Proposed Design Rev 1
Air Actuated Flipper with Gate • 304SS flipper tray • .090”-.105” Thick, Material Cost approx $60-$150 • SS wash down type cylinder, 1 1/16” diameter, 3.5” travel • McMaster 6239K155, approx $135 Rev 1
Flipper Gate • Prevents jams • Gate opens to allow single piece to advance • Gate closes while piece is flipped • Rotational actuator controls motion Rev 1
Flipper Continued • Design considerations • Guides to keep product centered • Mounting solution for system • Utilizing smaller diameter conveyer system to save vertical space • 6.5” vertical change, 14” Length • Flip tray construction out of aluminum for prototype? Rev 1
Labeler Progress Implementation Options Rev 1
Labeling System Progress • Algorithms for camera processing written, not yet coded • Tentative price structure for camera system devised, available upon request • In contact with Cal-Pak to create an all-in-one locator and labeler system Rev 1
Labeling Implementation Options • Automatic labeler • Outsource • Recommend MSD follow-up project • Complete as much as possible • Label assist • In-house Rev 1
Automated Labeler • Cost: TBD • Benefits • Current labor required to hand label product can be reallocated • Increased speed • Potential Problems • Does not rotate to align labels as required by this application, this feature would still need to be developed • Air pressure would need adjusting • Enclosure? Rev 1
Label Assist • Cost: ~$660 • Benefits • Improves speed of labeling • Fast implementation • Ergonomic improvement? • Shortfalls • Does not allow for complete reallocation of required labor Rev 1
Next Actions • Conduct stress analyses • Integrate system and model • Dimension most important components • Get more information on vendor collaboration • Compile BOM • Detailed Design Review • Next Friday, 2-12 • Time 1:30 pm? Rev 1
