Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
We've decided on using a single bolt and adjustable shaft for the gross positioning of the probe
analysis shows that it could cover the surface area needed to get a good signal of the pulse
Currently developing the fine-positioning mechanism and are exploring purchasing and design options
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Further researched purchase and design options for tip-tilt
Submitted product inquiries
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finish full CAD overview- all
Purchase tip-tilt mechanism and communicate with company/explore manufacturing options- Claire
Modify full head frame and CAD- Jessica and Kaj
Modify gross positioning CAD- Carter and Percy
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Not yet met with sponsor since last week- our week 3 meeting is scheduled for Friday 1/24
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Instructor requested clarification on gross positioning mechanism and we hope to clear up that drawing by our meeting this week.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
During presentations last week students requested full CAD model rather than just parts, which we are working on.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Considering purchasing tip-tilt mechanism, but shipping times might be an issue. We have submitted a product inquiry and haven't heard back. If they are unable to ship in time then we will manufacture one ourselves and hope to decide this week.
Tip-tilt purchase options are limited because of size and prices from US manufacturers. Inquiring with a European company, and if lead time is too long then we will have to manufacture.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
More information from tip-tilt manufacturer, Strada.
Need shipping and lead time to decide whether to purchase or manufacture
