Outline • What is box cutter, area of usage • Importance of ergonomic design of box cutter • Ergonomic principles and ergonomic principles of boxcutters • Anthropometry • Examples-pictures • Our ideas and it’s solidworks drawing • References
What is box cutter • Cutting Tool • Use to open boxes and to cut thin, lightweight materials. • Commonly used in factories • Generally, 22 mm wide and 75 to 100 mm long • Adjustable blade extention from the handle
Importance of ergonomic design of box cutter • Decrease injuries • Increase productivity • Less time consuming • Should be lightweight • Easy to use and carry • Sharp areas should be covered with appropriate material
Major ergonomics concern of hand-tool design • Weight of the tool • Power • Handles • Handle Shape • Diameter • Length • Seperation betweenhandles • Power tool triggers • Materials and texture of handles • Vibration
Anthropometry • Study of dimensions and physical characteristics of human body(weights,volumes, centres of gravity, inertial properties of body segments and strengths of various muscle groups) . • Application areas
Anthropometric Data • Measurement Types Static Anthropometry Dynamic Anthropometry Skeletal Dimension Body in Motion
Methodology for Determining the survey population According tovaried aged groups Divide people according to; • Gender • Usage of the right-handed/left-handed sides
Determining the dimensions of the box cutter • For 95th percentile: + * z • For 5th percentile: – * z • Z value = 1,645 for 95th and 5th percentile
Comparison of the basic version of the product with the one we created
Bent • Decrease the motion and stress on wrist • Decrease fatique • Position of the clips • No need to change between two fingers
