Project Title: Date Stamper
Sponsor: Benteler Automotive
Major Accomplishments Since Last Report:
-
The control box has been mounted to the demonstration table.
-
Our solenoid valves were cycled and are functioning properly.
Major Problems to Date:
-
We need to do some more testing with various air cylinder bore diameters
in order be sure of the correct size to use. We believe that we'll
need a bore diameter of 3.5" because of some crude testing done in the
past.
-
The stamping head and cylinder may not fit in the space allowed between
the top of the base plate and the bottom of the bracket. In order
to gain extra height, the cylinder may have to be mounted on the underside
of the base plate.
Objectives:
-
Acquire air cylinder samples and do some testing.
-
Once we receive the new tooling, we need to determine where we will have
to mount the cylinder.
