PROBLEM STATEMENT: Youworkfor Edison

Engineering and Consulting, Inc. A customer of your

company, Acm e Automo tive Manufacturing C o., has just

received anotice fromthecompany

that

disposes oftheir

aluminum soft drink cans indicating that thetotal volumeo f

their

cans must

be

reduced

by

70%.

Ifthisis not

done, your

comp any will have to pay an increased fee of 0.05 U.S.

dollars per can . As a result, they have contacted you r firm

aboutthepossibilityofreducingthevolume of the cans.

CHALLENGE:

Wo rk in a team and use the

seven steps of the design process to

design

and

build

an

automated

can

crusher

that reduces the volume of cans by at least

70%. Yourdesignmust meetall of the

following design constraints:

DESIGN

RESE RCH

Yourtask is to gather all of the inform ation needed for you to develop some ideas about a can

crusher

design. Research

to

find ideas abo ut

the can

crusher p ortion

of the

challenge facing you.

Your given text,the Internet, Usenet News, Integrated Learning Units,and thelibrary may be the

best sou rces. Your instructor will also have a list of resou rces that may help

you.

You may start by

studying the

cans themselves.

For

example,

you can use the

graph below

to

determine

the

amoun

of

force your

can

crusher needs

to

generate

to

crush

a

can.

Some information you maywanttodetermineinorderto accomplish your project:

-What are the initial dimensions of the can?

How big must the can crusher be in order to accept a new can?

Howmuch mustthe can becrushed toachieve a 70%reductioninvolume?

-How much force must be applied to the can to crush it by70%?

What power sou rces are available that can deliver this force?

-Would

dentingthe can

help

in

crushing

it?

Muchof the research collected inthis step relatestogeneral design.All team members

should participate in this research.Thedesign details of the components, suchas a

control system,

should

only

be

researched

to a

point where

the

team

can

conceive

of

possiblesolutions in step 3 and select a design idea to ca rry forward in step 4. However,

additional solutions may be conceived by team mem bers as they spend time in their

subject matter expert (SME) cluster.

Step3:Create Possible Solutions- Use the

knowledge gained from Step

2 to

develop

twelveormore possible design solutions. Each team member should supplyat least

two so lution. Make a rough sketch of each along with a brief description of how it wo rks.

Save eac h of the sketches and include them in the team portfolio.

The

design

ideas shouldbe detailed only enough tocompare

them.

The

detailed design

will take place in Step 5.

Step

4:

Choose

the

Best Solutions

-

Choose

the

solution that best meets

the

design

specifications. Document your reasonsforchoosingthis particular solution inyour team

portfolio.

Step5:An alysis/Developmental Work Inthis step,youwillperformthe

developmental work needed tocreate

will

need knowledgeandskillsfromthe labstationsintheirSMEclusters.

This developmental work should include the following:

Calculations

-

Perform

all

calculations

on

separate sheets

of

paper.

At the top of

eachsheet, describe what calculationis being performedand why it is needed.

Make su re all of the steps a re neat and organized .

Schematics-

Create schem atics

for the

electric

and

pneumatic systems. A lthough

it

may

help

to

first sketch them

by

hand, electrical schematics

are to be

created using

CAD. Pneumatic schematics

are to be

created using

the

pneumatic simulation

software.

Programs- Atleastone of thepartsinyour d esign w illbemanufactured usinga

CMC machine. Makeaprintoutof thepart program created inthis ope ration.Y ouwill

alsoneedtomakeaprintoutof the program usedtocontroltherobotin itsoperation.

Bill

of

Materials

-

Make

a

bill

of

materials

for the

construction

of the

prototype.

If

equipment is needed in addition to the equipment provided in the 96-PK-MF1,

calculate additional costs of the equipment. For additionalequipment,make a

statementon how the increased costof theaddedequipment

will benefit

the

outcome of the project. Submit the statement and the BOM to your instructor so that

additional material, if needed, can be ordered.

Drawings

- Use CAD to

make detailed individual part drawings

and an

assembly

drawing of the prototype. Make sure that you include part drawings of the pa rts to be

made

byCMC

machines

and

manualmachines.

Include dimensionsand

assembly

notes where applicable. Create Portfolio with reports specified.

Step

6:

Construct

a

Prototype

-

Construct

a

prototype using your design d rawings.

Make notes when or where the prototype varies from the design drawings. Create digital

photographsof the prototype and the team members as they create the prototype. Include

them in your team portfolio.

Step

7;

Testing

and

Evaluation

-

Once assembled

and the

applicable power supplies

are applied, test the o peration of the can crusher.

Make surethe cancrusherisself-loadingand

self-unloading.

Feedthe design fresh,

uncrushed cans. Measure the dimensions of a crushed can and calculate its volume.

Com pare the volume of a crushed can to that of an uncrushed can to determine the degree

to

whichthe can has been crushed. Testthe crusherseveral

times

andmake

adjustments

as

necessary

to

increase

the

amount that each

can is

crushed.

Continuous Improvement Analysis- Basedonyourtestingandevaluation, identify

areasin which your design met and excee ded the d esign specifications. Next, identify

areas in which yo ur design fell short of the design specifications. Finally, describe how you

might improve your design in the future.
