Progress:
- KBL controllers received and already given to the controls team.
- Motors are expected to arrive early December.
- Shaft design completed.
- Motor case design completed.
Machining progress:
- We talked to Dr. Furman about recommendations on machine shop:
- He suggested the Central Shop at SJSU's College of Engineering.
- We are in contact with Central Shop to start a service request, but we are also looking for any other potential machine shops for back-ups.
Material progress:
- We looked into what material our shaft and case would be. We discussed with Dr. Furman about this, and we came to an agreement of using aluminum as the material for shaft and case. I did some research on the price range of the material cost, it was around $500. With this budget, we will be getting Aluminum 2024-T351 and Aluminum 6061-T6511. Both types are good for machining and can withstand high load.
Next week's assignment:
- Start working on Presentation #3
- Start 3D printing prototype.
