M2.02 - Tubular Frame & Large Enclosure Workholding Tooling
A Specialized Tooling System
Sponsor: Bill Johnson, Athena Manufacturing
Student Team: Brandon Noria, Samuel Alvarez, Tracy Hall, Benicia Cooper
Faculty Advisor: Dr. James Davidson
We have established a lean systems methodology for designing and developing an efficient, modular work holding tooling system. This system is aimed at ensuring the secure and ergonomic dynamic positioning of medium to large tubular and sheet metal frames, as well as sheet metal enclosures, during mechanical assembly operations. The integrated and adaptable tooling system will incorporate various holding stands, platforms, and positioning mechanisms, allowing assembly technicians to swiftly and safely translate and rotate frames. This enables efficient assembly processes in a one-piece-flow manner, optimizing product quality and workflow within a constantly improving lean manufacturing environment.
