Executive Summary • Background • Current System • Client’s new production needs • Design Challenge • History • Rules
Project Description • Create a jig to increase production of cardboard bumpers, while also allowing for a wider range of employees to use the device • Features: • Low cost to build and maintain • Provides mechanical advantage to operator • Simple notification system
Subsystems • Mechanical • Racking System • Clamping System • Electrical • Sensors • Indicators • Sensor control logic • Power Supply • Ventilation
Clamping System • Two Part System • U-Bolt Lock • Connective Pin
Mechanical Analysis Force Analysis Speed Analysis Max: 25, Min: 11, Avg: 17.22 Max: 63, Min: 44, Avg: 53.1
Sensors Single unit with LED and phototransistor
Containment and Ventilation • Clear acrylic box cut to size • Cheap • Effective • Running temperature nearly indistinguishable from room temperature while outside the box • Positioned small vent holes on sides and top to allow for moderate airflow
Indicator LEDs • Indicators are RGB LEDs • Low cost and long life • Indicators use a well-known pattern
Power Need the jig to be able to use standard 120 volt alternating current Components require a 5 volt direct current
Responsibilities Ben – Construct and integrate clamping system Jordan – Construct and integrate racking system John – Construct sensor controller, calibrate sensors, mount components in the case, attach the case to the jig Linden – Solder the power supply, attach power supply to the control logic circuit
Cost (Mechanical Subsystems) Mechanical Subsystems Costs
Potential Improvements • Mechanical Improvements • Adjustable Base • Machined Parts • Width Adjustment for Feed Slot • Electrical Improvements • Adjustable sensor mounting • Better Case
Summary Electronic jig Clamping system User friendly Cheap to build and maintain Small improvements can be made
