Week 6:- Clamp Unit & Pin-Clamp 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. Now, for the clamp unit first create a rest and clamp myler as required to the geometry.
11. After that insert a clamp part from the design library and position it with clamp myler.
12. Now create a riser to fit the clamp with the base plate.
13. Design a clamp unit with following same steps on different position.
14. Now we want to design a rest unit for same panel. For that, first create a rest myler and block to fix with riser.
15. Now, create a riser, which is fix with a block.
16. Again following with same steps, I created a rest unit for different position.
17. For the swivel clamp unit we have to design two rest mylers and two clamp mylers for one clamp.
18. After that, we have to design a clamp arm for the mylers to stand by.
19. In next step insert a cylinder from design library and position it as required. In addition, snap it with clamp arm.
20. On the clamp arm we have to draw a through hole to move the cylinder and the hole size will be as bush size (18mm).
21. Now create a blade to hold the rest mylers, cylinder and fix with riser.
22. On blade draw a pivot point to hold the clamp arm and one point for the cylinder.
23. Now create a riser with required length and I created L type riser.
24. As mentioned in challenge I created a 3-swivel clamp unit on different different positions.
25. Now for pin clamp unit first design a pin, pin retainer, and block for it.
26. And also design a rest myler, clamp myler, clamp arm, and insert a cylinder.
27. And all the parts are rested on one rise. That is called as pin clamp unit.

So, following these steps I completed the week 5 challenge.
