Project Title: Date Stamper
Sponsor: Benteler Automotive
Major Accomplishments Since Last Report:
-
Provision are being made in the tooling to allow for the stamping head
to clear them.
-
Drawings of our demonstration table are nearly completed.
-
Hard plumbing has been run from the sealed box out to the clamps.
-
A pin connection has been made to run between our palm switch and the control
box.
-
Brackets have been made to hold two end clamps on the stamping end of the
module.
-
Our air cylinder has come in and will be connected to our table ASAP.
-
The control box with the new PLC has been put back on the table.
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.
Objectives:
-
Get the remaining clamps and tooling mounted to the base plate.
-
Finish the machining on the tooling to allow for the stamping head to pass
through.
