Week 4:- Pin Unit Design Challenge


These are the following steps, which I followed to make this fixture design:-
- 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
- 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.
- The shims required two direction so the pin can move accordingly. To adjust the pin at the hole on the panel.
- The holes on the block, riser and retainer are required as two for fixed bolt and one is dowel hole.
- All the parts perfectly matching with each other so that I used snap tool to fix the par.
- For making the parts there are so many features used like pad, pocket, snap, manipulate, holes, circle, erase, line, and so on.
- Now for retractable pin unit there are different types of cylinder used to make pins.
- For one retractable pin I used diamond shaped pin and single rod cylinder. For this pin, we need risers and shims.
- 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.
- So, following these steps I completed the week 4 challenge.
