Design and Fabrication of a Li-Ion Battery Electrode Coating Fixture

ME450 Capstone Design and Manufacturing Experience: Winter 2015The goal of this project is to design and fabricate a loading station for users to load very thin metal foils into a Lithium Ion Battery electrode coating machine without wrinkling or otherwise damaging the material. The final design has to be compatible with the existing fixtures on the coating machine while still preventing the foils from shifting during the loading process.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/111316/1/19_Report.pd

Manufacturing Processes Management with Usage of Simulation Tools

Simulace výrobních procesů pomáhá optimalizovat výrobu, logistiku a další systémy, díky čemuž dochází ke snižování nákladů a racionalizaci vnitropodnikových procesů. Využitím diskrétní simulace programu Witness Power with Ease se v diplomové práci optimalizuje logistický tok materiálu ve společnosti Hella Autotechnik, s.r.o. Práce přibližuje metody a jednotlivé fáze tvorby modelu včetně jeho validace a navrhuje vylepšení, díky kterému by mělo dojít ke snížení nákladů na dopravní služby o 24 400 Kč měsíčně.By optimizing the logistics, production and other systems the simulation can reduce costs and rationalise business processes. By use of discrete simulation in software Witness Power with Ease is in this diploma thesis optimised logistical flow of material in the company Hella Autotechnik, s.r.o. The thesis introduces methods and particular phases of creating the model including its validation. The proposal in the diploma work suggests the improvement to lower the costs for the transportation services by 24,400 CZK per month.

Optimize Stress in Roll Forming

In an effort to supply tooling designers with more accurate data the effects of tooling design on final product variation were investigated. Redundant Deformations were citied as the main source of variation in tooling design. Experiments were carried out to investigate and add to the body of knowledge of this claim

The guarding of the principal metalworking machines : the techniques, need, and responsibility

This thesis examines the guarding of the principal metalworking machines employed in the economy. The machines selected for consideration comprise the bulk of metal processing equipment utilized in the basic fabrication and manufacturing processes. It has been intuitively recognized that this equipment has been involved in a significant quantity of industrial accidents by the very nature of the hazards created by their normal use. Consequently, a need to develop some form of guarding or means of operator protection is called for. In order to examine this question the principal metalworking machines are enumerated, their basic operating characteristics set forth,, and the hazards associated with their use are identified. The principal methods and techniques of guarding against the created hazards are set forth. An examination of the injury record, both frequency and severity, is conducted and the codes and standards governing the construction, care and use of the equipment are presented. Potential sources of aid and assistance in effecting guarding methods are developed and catalogued. The conditions found and examined are analyzed in a practical light and a specific philosophy adaptable to all aspects of the industry is derived. A program to accomplish the principles and intents of the philosophy is developed and set forth
