  1. INTELLIGENT TOOLING Team 99.08 Joseph Staley Jeffrey Roushey Glenn Gardner Andrew Graybill

  2. Design Concept Review • Background - Mission - Approach • Customers - Wants - Constraints • Benchmarking • Quality Metrics - Target Values • Concept Generation • Concept Selection • Schedule - Budget

  3. Background • What is Metal Foam? • How is it Produced? • Why Use Metal Foam?

  4. Project Summary Mission • To develop a sensor system that will signal the completion of the metal foaming process inside a mold. Approach • By working together as a team, making use of the customer’s resources, and performing extensive research we will provide the best possible sensor system design for our problem.

  5. Customers - Wants - Constraints

  6. Customers - Wants - Constraints

  7. System Benchmarking • Die Casting / Injection Molding • general process, sensors • High Temperature Monitoring • high temperature materials (Macor) • data acquisition • Materials Level Monitoring • sensors

  8. Functional Benchmarking • Electrical Properties Sensors • Piezo-electric Transducer • Thermocouple • Optical Fiber • Eddy Current Detector

  9. Target Values

  10. Critical Functions • Sense metal foaming process completion • Attenuate/Amplify the sensor output signal • Channel signal(s) into data acquisition card • Use LabVIEW software to interpret signals and alert user that the process is complete

  11. Concept Generation • Electrical Circuit Completion • Piezo-Electric Force Sensor • Thermocouple Array • Optical Fiber • Eddy Current Position Sensor

  12. Concept Selection Method

  13. Concept Selection

  14. Conductivity Testing at Room Temperature

  15. Conductivity Testing at 700 °C

  16. Schedule - Fall ‘98

  17. Schedule - Spring ‘99

  18. Estimated Budget

  19. Future Direction • Winter Break - Build Concept • February - Testing and Design Iterations • March - Cushion Period • April - Final Report Preparation
