1. Ray Schroeder ET 493 Senior Design I Advisor: Dr. Cris Koutsougeras Spring Semester 2014 5/5/2014

2. System retrofits to existing machine Gear motor test stand use in quality control Currently hydraulic coupling is manual System automates manual process to reduce downtime between tests

4. Assembly mounted on carriage bearing rails Stepper motor and ball screw extends assembly outwards Alignment to motor ports Set number of pulses sent to stepper motor Rotary encoder sends position feedback to computer Ball screw motion

5. Actuates upon completion of port alignment Extends downward to engage gear motor ports After test is complete – horizontal and vertical assemblies retract

6. Fall semester 2014 9/30/14 - Finalized design 10/31/14 - FEA of machined components 12/5/14 - 3D Solidworks simulation of real world operation and application
