Here you can find all the drawings of the frame that were created and incorporated into the Frame.
Assembly as a Whole: Appendix B Number 1
The assembly as a whole will be how the frame will be constructed and how the composites will enter the front of the frame and make its way through as the feed rate is adjusted.
Angle Iron Corner Wall: Appendix B Number 2
This piece will be the vertical support on the angle iron box frame structure.
Angle Iron Short Side: Appendix B Number 3
This piece will be to horizontal support on the angle iron structure.
Angle Iron Long Side: Appendix B Number 4
This piece will be the long side connecting the Angle Iron Corner Walls and the Angle Iron Short Side to put together the whole Angle Iron Structure.
Side Walls: Appendix B Number 5
The side walls will fit all the necessary parts to make the composites be able to be fed into the vice while safely covering all areas that could possibly let fragments out.
Top Plate: Appendix B Number 6
The top plate will be placed on the top of the whole vice to protect the user from getting hit by fragments. The plate will also have a slot in which the ram will be going through to break down the composites by delaminating it.
Shaft With Extended Bushing (Top): Appendix B Number 7
The shafts will help guide the composites in a straight fashion. Due to not enough space to add bushings, spacer-like ends were turned on the shaft itself to help from sliding to the sides out of place. There were also grooves added for more friction on the composites.
Shaft Wider (Bottom): Appendix B Number 8
The shafts will help guide the composites in a straight fashion. There were also grooves added for more friction on the composites. This shaft was made wider to extend to the bushing on the side and allow no movement once running.
Shaft Guide Box: Appendix B Number 9
This piece will be fixed on the Top Shafts to help guide them in a straight fashion. The Spring Pin will be fit on the top so that the shafts move straight.
Spring Pin: Appendix B Number 10
The spring pins will fit in the hole on the inner shafts and have a spring on the top in order to guide the shafts movement in a straight up and down fashion while being in place.
Frame Spacer: Appendix B Number 11
This piece was added to lift the frame as a whole to help bring centered with the cutter on the machine.
Top Bearing: Appendix B Number 12
This Bearing will be pressed on the Shaft Guide Box to fit the Shaft With Extended Bushing.
Bottom Bearing: Appendix B Number 13
This bearing will be pressed into the Side Walls to fit the Shaft Wider.
