Week 4:- Pin Unit Design Challenge

These are the following steps, which I followed to make this fixture design:-

  1. I created a part tree which parts I want to design this fixture. Like for fixed pin design we want a pin , pin retainer , shims, riser, block, and so on
  2. Second, I created a circular pin for fix pin unit and created a pin retainer. Then I created a block for the two way direction shims and then riser for fixed pin unit.
  3. The shims required two direction so the pin can move accordingly. To adjust the pin at the hole on the panel.
  4. The holes on the block, riser and retainer are required as two for fixed bolt and one is dowel hole.
  5. All the parts perfectly matching with each other so that I used snap tool to fix the par.
  6. For making the parts there are so many features used like pad, pocket, snap, manipulate, holes, circle, erase, line, and so on.
  7. Now for retractable pin unit there are different types of cylinder used to make pins.
  8. For one retractable pin I used diamond shaped pin and single rod cylinder. For this pin, we need risers and shims.
  9. For second one I used diamond shaped pin and double rod pin so if the next hole is next to one hole then we cannot use two-pin unit at same position. For this pin unit we need a pin retainer, block, riser and cylinder.
  10. So, following these steps I completed the week 4 challenge.
