Project Background Project Descriptions Vertellus Specialties Inc. Makers of Mouthwash and Gum Favor Improve Employee Safety Manual to Automatic Lifting of Barrels Less Strenuous More Efficient Design a Machine to Lift and Pour Fiber Drums Pour Powdered Chemicals into Reactors
5
Revised Scope The Reactors 36” - 46” High 15” - 26” Deep 2 Buildings Financial Stewardship Increased focus on stewardship
6
Power System Power Options Manual Electric/gearbox Pneumatic Air over Oil Hydraulics
7
Manual Pros: simple, inexpensive Cons: slow, strenuous to worker Pros: lift and compact, precise control Cons: explosion proof Electric/Gears
8
Pneumatic Pros: relatively inexpensive, high speed Cons: poor control, not enough power Pros: large lift capacity, explosion proof, fast Cons: relatively expensive, possibility of fluid leaks Hydraulic
9
Hydraulics Uses the simple principle of leverage
10
Hydraulic Components Power Options Electric Motor Air Motor Reciprocating Rotating Motion Options Rotary Actuator Linear Actuator
