CEB Press Complete machine fabrication

CEB instructionals to be transfered to Make Projects CEB instructionals CAD Requests

Unless otherwise noted, all steps are independent and can be done in any order.

Simple plates

Good to start with, all you need to do is punch/drill holes.

• Brick Holder Plate
• Controller Mount
• Dirt-Keeper Plate
• Valve Mount

Structural Supports

• Leg Holders
• Legs
• Feet
  • Needs 4 Leg Holders
• Arms - primary-
• Arms - secondary
  • Needs 8 Leg Holders
• Grate mounts-
• Hopper supports-
  • Needs Soil Shaker (this should be dis-assembled, although you can do it assembled, its just heavier and more difficult to maneuver.)

Soil Loading System

• Hopper sheet metal-
• Hopper mounting plate
• Soil grate-
• Soil Shaker motor unit-
• Soil Shaker - needs fab drawings

Machine Core

• Soil loading drawer
• Roller guides

Frame Preparation

• Wide Cylinder Supports
• Main Cylinder Preparation

Assembling the frame

You'll need to have finished all other components in Machine Core and Frame Preparation and 2 Leg Holders

Hydraulics

• Hoses - Secondary cylinder hose unit

Assembly

Before beginning assembly, insure you have finished all of the components listed above.

• Assembling Structural Components
• Adjusting the Drawer- You'll need to have completed:

Final Assembly and Job Site Setup

Programming

An Arduino is the microprocessor that controls the CEB Press's actions. It must be programmed with the CEB Press's unique program for making bricks.
