TEAM 4 Assembly of a Simple Clamping System Under a Virtual Environment

MEMBERS Victor Basumallick Christina Burek Steven Deutch Peter J. Orlik

PURPOSE Demonstrate the Integration of CAD/CAM Systems Define Process/Operation Procedure for Manufacturing Parts Develop Operation Sequence for Product Assembly

OBJECTIVES Understand Assembly Process Under Pro/Engineer 2000 Environment Create Parts List & 3-D Models for Required Components Use Pro/E to Develop Cost Effective & Time Reducing Assembly Techniques

COURSE OF ACTION Research Assembly Analysis Status of Assembly Process

RESEARCH Basic Components Needed Basic Layout Functional Requirements Creation of 3-D Models Assembly Process

ASSEMBLY ANALYSIS Screw four nuts onto the four dowels Insert four dowels into three base plates, one at a time Screw four remaining nuts onto the dowels

TEAM 4 STATUS Tasks Completed –Created 3-D models –Created an animation showing the assembly process –Created movie file Tasks Remaining –Create all 3-D models –Create final complete movie

SUMMARY Preliminary animation complete –More work needs to be completed for final animation design Team learned vital aspects of assembly and animation requirements
