Agenda Review of Problem Statement Proposed Solution Subsystems Engineering Analysis Prototype Review and Demonstration Conclusion
3
Problem Statement Problem statement: Restaurants spend a great deal of time and money to have workers complete the tedious process of manually rolling silverware into a napkin No product available to automate process Proposed solution: Develop a device that automatically groups one napkin, fork, and knife without use of an employee.
4
Proposed Solution: “Wrap N’ Roll” Folding Arm Subsystem Napkin Box Subsystem Roller & Track Subsystem Napkin Grabber Subsystem Utensil Container Subsystem
5
Napkin Platform Subsystem Key features Elevated corner supported by spring Friction on back surface Integrated turn-around switch
6
Roller & Track Subsystem Key features 5’ steel track Sushi roller Controlled by brushless DC motor Stainless steel rods to support sushi roller when extended
7
Roller & Track (cont’d)
8
Napkin Grabber Subsystem Key features Pivoting arms Rubber grippers Spring-activated locking mechanism Mounted to sushi roller platform No additional track or activation device needed
9
Napkin Grabber (cont’d) Napkin grabber reset by acrylic piece at opposite end
10
Utensil Container Subsystem Key features Hinged in front to add utensils Can tilt forward when loading Ejection mechanism: Prototype Contoured to fit shape of silverware Knives must have relatively flat handle
11
Utensil Container Subsystem (cont’d)
12
Utensil Release
13
Napkin Folder Subsystem Key features Metal bars pivot on an angle Triggered by trolley

Engineering Analysis T = 1.68 N-m = 14.9 lb-in T = F (66.2 N) * r (0.0254 m) 15 rad/s = 143.3 RPM v (0.38 m/s) / r (.0254 m) P = 25.2 W P = T (1.68 N-m) * (15 rad/s) Selected motor: Brushless DC Motor
