Slide 4

Problem Statement RIT students need rapid prototyping for creation of unique circuit boards Requires multiple revisions to perfect each circuit board Currently each iteration must be created off campus Long lead times Expensive Limits circuit refinement Students not involved in process

Slide 5

Problem Statement (Continued) Isolation Routing System Rapid prototyping Inexpensive In-house fabrication Students control production process Proposed System Create boards to accommodate through hole components Ex. Improved Radiation Meter (Elektor PN 110538-71) Debris management system

Slide 6

Benchmarking- Scott Systems Isolation Router Able to produce double-sided Board Smallest bits used -.016 Minimum width between traces - 5mm Stepper control for Z-axis Stepper control for X-Y movement Alignment pins and double sided tape used to secure board Sacrificial plastic layer Uses an air gun to blow dust out during the drilling PVC with shop-vac sucks up debris Data Flow Eagle design file G-code Flashcut CNC Motors

Slide 7

Benchmarking- Scott Systems Isolation Router

Slide 8

Pros, Cons, Potential Improvements Pros: Can etch double-sided boards Easy to switch bits 5mm minimum trace width Cons: System lacks real time feedback sensors X,Y, and Z, axis alignment is done manually. Improvements Improve debris management Replace or repair Z-axis motor Enclose system

Slide 9

Benchmarking- RIT Robotics Lab Milling set-up is not used regularly because its a pain Zeroing the plane is highly mechanical Smallest tolerance is 10 mil Floor of the mill is warped Difficult to change drill bits Interface software include expensive Isopro Manual debris management Utilizes two alignment pins Board is secured down with tape

Slide 10

Pros, Cons, Potential Improvements Pros: Relatively Inexpensive Cons: Difficult to swap bits Poor board alignment process Z-axis solenoid Improvements Debris management system Z-axis zeroing

Concept #1 X-Y axis Control of Spindle Assembly Spindle Assembly Vacuum Nest with Alignment Pins Upper and Lower Acrylic Guards Z axis Control of Base Cyclone Separator Electronic Waste Collection + Combination nozzle/vacuum with cyclone separator effectively manages debris + Straight forward design easy to understand + Vacuum nest and alignment pins ensure accuracy and repeatability Pressurized Air Nozzle - Minimal guards allow access to moving parts during operation - Difficult to relocate, much larger than Ryans and Robs systems - Large weight of gantry limits maximum accuracy - Redundant systems increase complexity

Slide 27

Concept #2 + Collet for holding tooling + Suction debris removal + Alignment Template system - DC motors with encoders for X,Y,Z - Horizontal Vice for mounting

Concept #5

Slide 31

Concept #6 + X- and Y-axis control using steppers and lead screws, which offers great resolution + Fully enclosed unit provides a much safer operating environment + Interlock would safely disconnect power in case of emergency/unit malfunction + Unit is overall very easy to use (assuming board is aligned) - Incineration not a feasible method of debris management - Rack and pinion Z-axis movement control would cause unnecessary backlash - Board alignment not very easily performed with electromagnets

Engineering Analysis Spindle vs Router Commercial Routers High Speed (~25,000+ RPM) but with manual control Large run out, not published as they are typically hobbyist and woodworking Run directly from 120 VAC line power Heat problem, not designed to be run continuously Low average cost (Free - $200) Brand specific collets Loud

Slide 41

Low to Medium Speeds (usually 400 to 24,000 RPM) Extremely low run out (typically less than 0.005mm/0.0002) Need an inverter (capable of producing 0-400Hz @240VAC) Air or Water cooled options available Higher average cost ($100 - $700) Standardized collet sizes (ER11, ER20, R8, 3MT, etc.) Quiet Spindle Motors Engineering Analysis Spindle vs Router

Slide 42

Higher cost of spindle motor justified by advantages Inverter vs. speed control, ~ equal complexity (VFD) More professional look and results from spindle Justifies laser centering upgrade in the future Engineering Analysis Spindle vs Router

Slide 43

Engineering Analysis- Direct Material Cost Estimate

Slide 44

Slide 45

Future Engineering Analysis Weight analysis Can the Z motor handle the weight of spindle? Vacuum Analysis- Can one shop vacuum both collect debris and secure board? Does the vacuum have enough suction to keep the board secure while milling the outline?
