Concepts Overview

The following information offers only a high level overview of the concept selection process, for detailed information please download the System Design Review Powerpoint.

Material Selection

The current system uses 80/20 Inc. Fractional T-slotted Aluminum for the structure.

For the P12007 upgrade; alternative materials were investigated, most notably Creform and McMaster, but ultimately 80/20 was re-selected for the proposed redesign for the following reasons.

• Design must be competitively priced with batches of 10-15 units per order.
• Current BalancEngineering facility in Rochester, NY is equipped to assemble 80/20. (little milling, machining required)
• Meets strength to weight requirement.
• Short lead time on orders.

If you represent or have a suggestion for a material source that meets the above requirements please contact David Lahn by email at DJL7399@rit.edu.
