Automation of a lamination press tool - Design Automation is a very important part of any manufacturing company. In Lucas-TVS, the problem was the design team was a small group and this small design team was catering to the needs of a huge factory. When a new design was required, it was put on hold until one of the designers was free. To avoid this, I was asked to use Pro/Engineer to program a generic design into Pro/E such that all the user had to do was open the Pro/E file and key in the driving parameters and run the program to obtain the final CAD drawings. This was achieved using the “family table” option in Pro/E 2000i2.
Design of switch activated ball tosser - The Rosedale School, a school for children with multiple disabilities, is located at Austin, Texas and is part of the Austin Independent School District. There are quite a number of students in this school, who are not able to lead the life that other students of their age do. An activity such as playing basketball or bowling is extremely difficult for these kids. To facilitate this, we decided to do a switch-activated ball tosser that could be used by these students. All the students had to do was push a switch and the device would fire the ball fed into it towards the basket.
