M2.03 - Improve the Lighthouse Bend EZ Punch Machine Operation
Improve the Lighthouse Bend EZ Punch Machine Operation.
Sponsor: Ingram School of Engineering
Student Team: Holly Magee (Team Leader), Caleb Johnson, Obinna Maduagwuna
Faculty Advisor: Dr. James Davidson
Our team will be assisting the West Texas Lighthouse for the Blind, a company that provides manufacturing careers for people who are visually impaired. The employees use the current Bend EZ Cap Punching Machine, which allows them to puncture a hole in the cap of the Bend EZ pen. The current workstation raises safety concerns due to vibrations and load noises. The previous MFGE Senior Design team constructed a replica of an improved workstation for the Lighthouse. However, this workstation has a couple of concerns and does not have a Digital Twin. A digital twin is a real-time simulation of an individual product that allows for testing different solutions without financial risk and replication of the product.
