Gantt Chart thru Detailed Design
10/29 Trip to AATech
- The team visited the AATech plant on 10/29 to meet with Dave Dewispelaere and Cory Hollenbeck. The purpose was to update Cory, who will be responsible for the system in production, on our project status, and to get his feedback. Some design changes resulted from the meeting.
Trip Report
I. Controls
- A Micro820 will still be used as stated in our original design, as it has the capabilities and number of inputs/outputs that we need. We can also purchase an expansion pack if needed.
- A PanelView C400 will be used instead of the 300, because it has a larger display. This was recommended by Cory.
- The bar code scanner was recommended as a last priority by Cory. However, to stay consistent with our original design, the team will use bar code scanning as the primary method for part number entry as long as we stay on schedule and unless issues arise during testing. Push buttons on the PanelView are a back up option.
II. Chamber design
- A stainless steel reservoir with glass panel will be used and will be placed outside of the chamber, a change from our original design of an internal oil compartment. The container will be approximately 3 ft³.
- A tray should be located underneath the chamber in order to catch excess oil.
- 1/2 in. x 1/2 in gussets will be added along the sides of the chamber and will be included in our CAD model.
- A door sliding track will be added as part of our CAD model.
- Polycarbonate will be used instead of acrylic for the chamber material.
III. Other
- An oil filter is required. The oil filter part number has already been provided. The team needs to research the filter housing on our own, as Cory was unsure of the part number.
- The door interlock will be the same as the current system. The part number was already provided.
- An ergonomic scoring video for the current system will be provided along with the calculations used.

Ergonomics
Fixture Weight
Assumptions- One operator will process all nozzle types
- Operator will process all nozzles for a program at once and will do each program once per day
- Operator will lift the fixtures at most 8x per hour (30 second cycle time x 30 nozzles each fixture)
- Fixture can be at most 25 lbs (AAT safety requirement)
Weights
- CAD used to predict fixture weights
Fixture Height
- Based on anthropometry
Assumptions
- 5'6 operator places nozzle at a 45 degree angle from vertical
Enclosure Prototype
Changeover Analysis
Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA)
- Quick observational tool
- Measures a snapshot in time
Assumptions
- Tasks with the most ergonomic risk: Connecting/Disconnecting oil and pneumatic lines, placing/removing nozzle from yoke plate
- Connecting/disconnecting lines: done at most 8x per hour
- Placing/removing nozzle from yoke plate: done at most 4x per minute
- Nozzles are between 4 and 22 lbs
