5. Project Background & Objectives
Airplane engine nozzles have a preservation oil pumped through them in an effort to defend against rust and degradation while in storage.
Current System
Previous MSD Solution
P16680 Objectives
Large, Heavy, immobile
Poor ergonomics, twisting in nozzle at uncomfortable angle
Operator can be sprayed with oil
Manually set parameters
Small, light, mobile
Eliminated Twisting motion
Ergonomically designed enclosure height
pre-set parameters
Only processed the most common nozzle type
Lacking strong controls system
Achieve same level or better ergonomics and mobility as previous MSD Solution
Ability to process a set of 12 provided nozzle types
Intuitive controls system
Production ready
We are doing this project for AATech in order to automate part of the oil and bagging process.
Airplane engine nozzles have a preservation oil pumped through them in an effort to defend
against rust and degradation while in storage.
The current system has poor ergonomics and is virtually immobile due to its size. The
operator has to bend over into the enclosure and twist on each new nozzle as well as
manually set the pressure and spray duration. There is also a risk of getting sprayed
with oil while removing each nozzle. This happens around 144 times each day.
Last years MSD team came up with a solution that solved a lot of these issues. Although
the solution could only process one type of nozzle, it was fully mobile and it had largely
solved the ergonomic issues. What it was lacking was the controls system. This was
understandable as the team only had Mechanical Engineers.
Their solution ended up not being used in production mainly due to that controls systems.
With our project, we plan on:
Mostly reusing the ergonomic design established by last years team
Adding processing capability for 12 different nozzles
Having an intuitive control system that automatically sets the pressure and spray duration based on the part number
and Ultimately have a production ready solution!

8. Engineering Requirements
These are the preliminary engineering requirements that the team determined, not including the constraints given by AATech,
the constraints are as follows: Portable, acrylic enclosure with a par-frame. Use of Allen-Bradley PLC and a budget of $10,000.
The ideal noise level value is 50dB, but after looking at OSHA standards:
The criterion level is the permissible exposure limit (PEL).
For OSHA purposes, the value for the criterion level is 90 dB, averaged over an 8-hour period on the A scale of a standard sound level meter set on slow response. Noise measurements taken with an instrument set on the A weighting scale are expressed as dBA.
The changeover times are based on the previous teams, the system will ideally stay at the same operating time or less if possible.
The doors will have an automatic lock, to not allow hands in during energized system. 1 cm is all that will be allowed for the door to open ideally.
The system should change pressure and duration according the part number of the nozzle to be tested.
The height will remain at a comfortable level for a variety of users. The pressures have a goal and are technically a constraint.
