(2/20/12-2/24/12)
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Test, etc
Finalized design
CADed up in SolidWorks for fabrication
Studied motor control system
For more information, we will be speaking to the expert in Delta Design about the control system
Put the order in for the materials
Estimated how much material we will be using
Submitted our order after speaking to a representative in Industrial Metal Supply
Goals for next week
Pick up the materials required
Meet with sponsor and an engineer for control system
Wednesday at 10AM
Finish up SolidWorks and AutoCAD model
Run Finite Element Analysis on assemblies
Instructor comments from last meeting and actions taken
Simulation
Came up with simulation for Proof of Concept model
Matched with our final design to prove the our model works
Risks and areas of concern
Wiring method
Motor that we have acquired has very short cables
Must figure out how to extend the wire to connect it to the controller/driver
Fitting of the bearings
Control system
Will work with engineers at Delta
