 Outside vendor to supply conveyor system  Possible Vendors: ◦ Kleenline Corporation ◦ Lipe Automation  Lead Time: Unknown  Capabilities: Full/Half-width product  Cost: Unknown Rev 17

 Electric Linear Actuators are triggered by object detection beam.  Sliding pusher-plate contacts product and gently pushes to center of conveyor.  Logic controller allows for use on all product lines.  Products end up in single file line, to safely continue through x-ray detection.  Very compact system Rev 18

 Pusher System has marginal impact on space constraints  Variable speed twin belt conveyor system Rev 19

Proposed Design Rev 112

Rev 113  304SS flipper tray ◦.090”-.105” Thick, Material Cost approx $60-$150  SS wash down type cylinder, 1 1/16” diameter, 3.5” travel ◦ McMaster 6239K155, approx $135

 Prevents jams  Gate opens to allow single piece to advance  Gate closes while piece is flipped  Rotational actuator controls motion Rev 114

 Design considerations ◦ Guides to keep product centered ◦ Mounting solution for system ◦ Utilizing smaller diameter conveyer system to save vertical space ◦ 6.5” vertical change, 14” Length  Flip tray construction out of aluminum for prototype? Rev 115

Progress Implementation Options Rev 116

 Algorithms for camera processing written, not yet coded  Tentative price structure for camera system devised, available upon request  In contact with Cal-Pak to create an all-in- one locator and labeler system Rev 117

1. Automatic labeler 1.Outsource 2.Recommend MSD follow-up project 3.Complete as much as possible 2. Label assist 1.In-house Rev 118

 Cost: TBD  Benefits ◦ Current labor required to hand label product can be reallocated ◦ Increased speed  Potential Problems ◦ Does not rotate to align labels as required by this application, this feature would still need to be developed ◦ Air pressure would need adjusting ◦ Enclosure? Rev 119

 Cost: ~$660  Benefits ◦ Improves speed of labeling ◦ Fast implementation ◦ Ergonomic improvement?  Shortfalls ◦ Does not allow for complete reallocation of required labor Rev 120

 Conduct stress analyses  Integrate system and model  Dimension most important components  Get more information on vendor collaboration  Compile BOM  Detailed Design Review ◦ Next Friday, 2-12 ◦ Time 1:30 pm? Rev 121
