12. Mechanical Design, Machine Design

Mechanical Design

Our assignment this week is to:

Group assignment:

Design a machine that includes mechanism + actuation + automation Build the mechanical parts and operate it manually. Document the group project Actuate and automate your machine. Document the group project

Individual assignment:

Document your individual contribution.

Learning outcomes

Work and communicate effectively in a team and independently Design, plan and build a system Analyse and solve technical problems Recognise opportunities for improvements in the design

Have you answered these questions?

Documented the machine building process to the group page Documented your individual contribution to this project on your own website Linked to the group page from your individual page as well as from group page to your individual pages Shown how your team planned and executed the project (Group page) Described problems and how the team solved them (Group page) Listed future development opportunities for this project (Group page) Included your design files (Group page) Optionally included an aprox. 1 min video (1920x1080 HTML5 MP4) + slide (1920x1080 PNG) (Group page)

Research

From LCCC, I

Today I worked on designing one component fourth machine. This component houses you need to screw and need to stabilizing aluminum poles and D Spring not that allows the lead screw on the motor to move the component up and down the shaft of the motor. I am planning to try to 3-D printing this part. I measured with a ruler and micrometer because my caliper battery had died. Hopefully the measurements are correct and I hope to print the subject soon. I still need to please send holes on the top floor affecting different components.

Code Example

Use the three backticks to separate code.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}
