Week 7 Challenge

SLIDERS
1.
For the present model, an estimation of four sliders is required in all four corners.
2.
Select the top face of the core block. Sketch the slider such that not thin steel should present either in the slider or theregion of the slider in the core block.
3.
Create a reference plane up to which the slider should present.
4.
Use the SPLIT command with a plane and sketch it in the tooling section. Click on cut bodies. Select the slider region.
5.
On the side face of the slider, CUT EXTRUDE the extra region. For the slider to move while removing the cavity block,sketch the wedge shape on the side of the slider with 30º and heigh as 2/3
from the top surface.
6.
7.
Sketch the bottom portion of the slider to create the slider pathway, sketch a rectangle with 5 mm and extrude to thewedge surface.
8.
9.
Save the slider in the external file in the same assembly path file.
10.
11.
Subtract the slider form the core region using the COMBINE command and subtract option.
12.
Using the MOVE FACE command clear the pathway for the slider in the core region.
13.
Sketch the core region where the pathway is created to accommodate washers for the slider to move.
14.
Create washers in separate part files and in the same region where washers are present, create holes in the core block usingthe HOLE WIZARD tool.
15.
Sketch the locking mechanism in the core region and slider path region. Make sure the move sufficient distance (extra 5mm) for the smooth removal of the part from the mold.
16.
Edit the cavity region. Extrude the region where the slider part is present. Create holes for the washers and nuts.
17.
There is a 90º contact between the cavity and core block. So a relief of 2 mm is provided in the core block at all thecontacts
