  1. Maval Visit Summary (October 5, 2012) Power Steering Test Stand Team Manager - Travis Blais Project Manager - Jordan Shields Manufacturing Leader - Evan Lumby Software Leader - Samuel Slezak

  2. Rack and Pinion Test Stand This test rack includes many of the features that are fundamental to the Maval way of testing: -Adaptability -Clear Failure Indicators -Ease of Use

  3. Major Features Torque Application System Torque transducer Slip-Shaft Connection

  4. Other Important Features Display Monitor that is at a safe distance from test Additional Operator Information Safe/Clean Computer Storage

  5. Barcode Scanner, Printer, Storage Scanner Serial # and Maker-> <- Barcode Printer Scanner Storage

  6. Documentation • Step By Step Test Instructions: • Includes Pictures and directions • Dated • Approved by Management

  7. Notes From the Visit • Overall: • Change Tolerance on measurements from 10% to 3-5% • Three motors will need to be tested: 170W, 220W, 360W • All have the same housing • Need to check every unit for errors • Consider techniques for a locking mechanism to lock the unit in place if it fails. • Need to check that the unit is in place. • Using torque in/out relationship is good, instead of a device like a proximity sensor • Need to be able to track what operator is using the machine • Each employee has ID with barcode that they use to clock in and out • Maval can handle any manufacturing of components needed • Labels: • Only create label for good units • Same serial number should be used for motor and control module • No need to keep data from failed units • Process to run test: Scan elites S/N  Scan test specs (170W,220W,360W)  Run • To Re-run good parts: • Have option for re-run • Store re-run and original run data in the same folder

  8. Continued Notes • Concepts/Operation: • The monitor mounted in the background or on a swing-arm would be good • Scan to run instead of button • No need for external red/green light, on screen is fine • They preferred the first of the two concepts • No need to have a complete table if its not necessary for functioning, no extra room for miscellaneous items to be left on table! • They do not want to use computer mouse and buttons often • Need to be able to run one stand and put the other in queue • Need to have option for the case that the barcode does not read • Action Items: • Send Maval summary of labview (Functions vs Cost) • Send Maval required computer specifications • Dale Lumby to send contact information for purchasing and Rob, Dave, Jim, and Mark • Dale to send what label printer and scanner they want to use • Additional Visit Notes: • 360W Motor using up to 52 Amps • Input side of motor has all the potential mounting locations • Motor may have to be underneath the unit
