Mechanical design

Bas Tip:

Fix the misaligned hole

  • Add wood
  • Drill with a small hole
  • Drill with an end bit.

When lasercutting:

Cut smaller holes - then drill for pressfit

group assignment

  • design a machine that includes mechanism+actuation+automation

  • build the passive parts and operate it manually

  • document the group project and your individual contribution

Architechtural Principles

  • Stress (rimes on press)-strain (pain)
  • Moduli
  • Elastic, plastic flow
  • Friction (statisk indtil bevægelse går i gang, derefter dynamisk der bør minimeres)
  • Spalling - stykker af samme materialer, der bevæger sig op ad hinanden.
  • Hysteresis
  • Backlash
  • Flexure (Flexbot)
  • Force Loops (eksempel: Tool, to a collet to a spindle to a holder etc. - and the material is attached to ) The entire relationship from the force to the forced
  • Elastic averaging
  • Kinematic coupling - A structure used to precision removable parts of a machine

Materials

  • Plastic
  • Metal - can machine aluminum on Shopbot using Trocoidal toolpath
  • Ceramic
  • Rubber - As dampeners - to take energy out of a machine
  • Foam

Adhesive - tend to avoind

Fasteners

  • nuts
    • for precision positioning
    • T-slot
    • Threaded rods (for positioning or as cross diagonal
  • bolts
  • washers (spændeskiver)
    • Flexible layer that prevents bolts from loosening
  • flexural bits
    • d
  • pins

Self-aligning

Drive

  • Gears
    • Involute gears (continious contact with a pressure angle - in a uniform direction to apply the force = low friction. Interesting math.
  • Rack and pinion
  • Sprockets (tandhjul)
  • Belts - flexible in one direction, but don't strech. Can send force over distance.
  • Chains - not for high resolution but can handle high forces.
  • Shafts (D-profile or keyed)
  • Rods (works with specific nuts)
  • Nuts

guide

Defining the axis

  • Shafts -
  • Rails with a little car
  • Slides -

Couplers

Need to build in some degree of flexibility.

shafts

joints

Bearings

  • Ball
  • Thrust
  • Linear
  • Rotary
  • Sleeve (i Ultimaker)

mechanisms

  • flexures
  • linkages
  • whippletree
  • pantograph
  • Sarrus
    • 3 bending membranes mounted at 90 degrees creates an axix
  • CoreXY
    • Belt attachment
  • SkyCam
    • Can be used to make plotting machines etc. But flexible so requires either multiple tendents or tight
  • Hoberman (The Hoberman Sphere)
