  1. Duct Insulation Attachment Team ME 493 Portland State University Michael Thilavanh, Osten Palmrose, Chase Doyel, Clint Everett, Haoyuan Xu, Sheng Chen

  2. Overview • Project Sponsor • Project Overview and Targets • Initial Concepts • Research and Experimentation • Final Design • Recommendations and Next Steps • Questions

  3. Project Sponsor • Streimer Sheet Metal Works Inc. • Air Duct Assembly Manufacturing • Started in 1946 after WWII • Family owned business • Company Advisor: • Mark Van Sickle (Manufacturing Manager) • Faculty Advisor: • Robert Paxton

  4. Project Overview • Duct Insulation Attaching Mechanism

  5. Project Overview and Targets • Goals: • 20% speed improvement • 95% fastening success rate • Accommodates 1 and 2 inch Gripnails or Weld Pins • Accommodates various shape, size sheet metal • Manufacture machine

  6. Initial Concepts External and internal research done by team • Designed three possible machines • Number of heads • Gripnail vs. Weld Pin • Safety features • Flat surface or Grid surface • Could also redesign and improve existing machine

  7. Initial Concepts (Cont.)

  8. Research and Experimentation • Fastening Strength • Gripnail impact test • Gripnail and Weld Pin extraction test • Finite Element Analysis • Frame Design • Modal Analysis

  9. Final Design

  10. Linear Motion and Hopper • Hopper placed top of each actuator • 3 moveable heads, 1 stationary head • Move along single ACME screw • Supported by upper and lower rail

  11. Frame and Impact Surface • I-beam for the center column • Square tubing for frame structure • FEA analysis showed greater frame strength with gusset • Raised harden impact surface

  12. Actuators • Secondary actuator loads Gripnail • Magnet holds Gripnail • Lasers

  13. Control Panel • 8 electronic air solenoids • 4 for impact actuator • 4 for loading actuator • PLC unit for machine control • Moisture separator

  14. Recommendations and Next Steps • Proof of Concept Phase • Order Components • Refine Bill of Materials • Development • Impact Mechanics and Feeding System • Actuator Movement • Frame Structure
