Project Objectives
High Priority Objectives
Achieve horizontal 2-axial automated motion
Apply variable forces (1-10 N)
Fit products of different sizes and shapes
Test buttons for twenty millions of times within a period of six months
Second Priority Objectives
A presser that simulates the finger touch
Demo python script that can demonstrate the horizontal 2-axis motion
Other Constraints and Issues
NO INJURY. One user can easily operate the device without getting hurt
Total costs should not exceed the budget
Capability of running a million cycle before maintenance
Reduction of electrical noise
The button presser should stop working when tested button fails
WOW Design Solution
Ask what would their dream design solution would be like. You may not achieve this, but it is good to know what it would be like.
Risk Reduction Strategy
List areas of risk and strategy that will be used to eliminate risk really in the design process.
Intermediate Milestones
Final design on the motion stage
Final design on the product holder
Final design on the button presser that can achieve millions of duty cycles and variable force outputs
