Assignment

in this week we are assigned to Make a machine as a group assignment. We agreed to make Kandoora Cutting Machine.Since this is a group assignment, Im assigned to make the head part

What to do

1. Collect information and data about the head size and components information

2. prepare the tools and additional components for assembling

3. Design the head using Autodesk fusion 360 software

4. Design the wire holder and the wire supports.

5. Laser cut the the head and the wire holder

6. Test the movement of the head on the profile

Procedure

We need information about the screws size, how to attach the timing built, profile slot and V wheel size to design the head based on the information collected. I used to visit GrabCad website to download profile t slot and V wheel 3D files

After downloading the required files we move to draw the head based on profile and the v wheel using Autodesk 360 fusion software Note that we need the screws size to make the holes for it. We also to design wire support and holder parts .

We need to move for laser cutting. I used 12mm Acrylic material for the head. To check the diamension of the wheels holes I used to laser cut 3mm acrylic as a test. for wire Holder I used to laser 3 mm MDF.

after testing the head diamensions and movement through profile v slot we can laser cut 12 mm acrylic for the head. the final test to be done to confirm every thing is clear

Now we can assemble all the parts and help teammates if possible
