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.
