Week 5:- Rest Unit & Clamp Unit Design Challenge
CLAMP UNIT & REST UNIT
Project Named as P001_Z01_ST010_00_00
whereas,
P = Project no.
Z = Zone no.
ST = Station no.
It is necessary to have two pins to lock the car panel (component). And here one pin must arrest 4 ways (4 translations) and the other must arrest 2 ways (ie rotational ) of the car panel.
In this case component, 3 Clamp units and 2 Rest units are used.
Some standards dimensions
The pin should engage 3mm to 5mm from the component entry surface.
The distance Between the Pin flange and the bottom of the component must be 10mm to 15mm.
There must be keep space for spacers of 5mm
The spacers dimensions - 1 spacer of 2mm, 2 spacers of 1mm and 2 spacers of 0.5mm.
The procedure followed for CLAMP UNIT
- Parts of the Clamp unit are Clamp Myler, Rest mylar, Riser, Standard clamp, Clamp arm and Spacers(Shims)
- To create a clamp unit firstly set a specific position where the clamp unit a perfectly suited.
- Then Created a T shaped clamp mylar with dimensions length of 85mm and a width of 20mm.
- The height of the clamp Myler depends on the position of the clamp as pr the surface where we are going to mount that clamp mylar.
- As for Rest mylar an L shaped mylar is used with a chamfer of 8mm length and 45 degrees of angle.
- Dimensions of the rest of the mylar are length of 50 mm and width of 20mm as mentioned above rest of the mylar height also depends on the position and surface where the rest of mylar is mounted.
- Imported a standard clamp unit is used named V_V2_50_1_BR3_A00_T12_TUENKERS
- Similarly, for the clamp arm standard arm is used the name as Spannarm_kpl_50_A40_242838_Tuenkers.
- Then a Riser is made for base support to this clamp unit the dimensions of the riser are 60X50 Block of length 700mm and at the base 4 11mm dia and 2 10mm dia holes are created for mounting these holes are dowel holes and screw hole respectively.
-Similarly, counterbore holes are created with dia 13mm and a depth of 15mm on the riser for mounting of standard clamp unit.
- As per the holes on the clamp arm the holes are created on rest and clamp mylars with 8mm dia and 30 mm apart from each other.
- As per the general procedure there will be always a tolerance in every part of the unit to overcome this tolerance shims/spacers are used.
-The dimensions of spacers are standard and are mentioned above.
- A open position is shown of the clamp arm in yellow colour having some transparency.
The procedure followed for REST UNIT
- For the Rest unit same dimension rest mylars are used as used for the clamp unit.
- Here to support the rest of mylars to the riser a T shaped blade is used for mounting.
- The dimensions of the blade are the length of 266mm width of 30mm and height of 80mm.
- Also a riser is crated of dimensions 266mm length, 30mm width and 480mm height.
- The shape of the riser is also created of an upside-down T shape at the bottom.
