Design Task • Problem Recognition • Paper release with offset no more than 5mm either direction. • Mission Statement • Our mission is to provide the most convenient and cost productive way to measure and monitor the offset of paper stacks, that they never exceed more than a 5 mm offset in the x-axis direction. • Customer Need • Ease of handling paper stacks. • Ease of separation of stacks.
Design Task (cont.) • Design Specifications • A series of lasers are shot from the bottom of the design to the top of the design. • If there are laser's which do not go completely from the bottom to the top the stacks must be off in the y direction to some amount or the x direction by more than 5mm(0.196850394 inches). • If this is the case the designed machine will alert the employee operating it for correction of the stacks.
Design Approach • Gantt Chart Below:
Design ApproachBrainstorming • Lasers • Bristles • Blocking walls • Slanted Walls • Gel Walls
Lasers • A laser that will shoot from the bottom of the stack to the top where there will be a simple detection device that will register the lack of laser for an imperfection of the stack along the y axis and/or x axis. • A laser that will shoot from the top of the stack to the bottom where there will be a simple detection device that will register the lack of laser for an imperfection of the stack along the y axis and/or x axis.
Laser (cont.) • A gel wall that can be applied to the stack which will clearly show if there is an imperfection in the stack by observation of any “bulges.” • A simple metal straight edge that can be set along the stack edge to detect if there is an offset. • Two set walls along the y axis with “drop walls” along the x axis that will be composed of a light weight material which will not set perfectly straight if there are any imperfections.
Cost Analysis • Low Cost • Laser Cost +$6 • With the price of the Xerox being so high the small price increase should be relatively uncontested by customers.
Summary • We found lasers would be the most efficient and cost effective way to measure stacks. • Should not raise price by a significant price. • A portable design allows for movement between machines which decreases the number of necessary designs.
