Warning: The documentation for the CEB Press is undergoing a thorough overhaul. CAD models and written directions are presently obsolete. For more information, see Talk:CEB_Press#Documentation_overhaul_in_progress. When the models, specifications and text on this article have been thoroughly reviewed, updated when necessary, and confirmed as whole and accurate, this warning may be removed. The CEB CAD model visible above is known, for instance, to outdated with incorrect dimensions on some parts; it will likely be updated only after every component part is thoroughly reviewed and made current.
This page is the starting point for making a CEB Press:
- The Fabrication section details the process of making the parts from raw materials
- The Assembly section identifies the process of putting the parts together to form the machine
- The Programming section deals with automating the process by using a microcontroller called an Arduino to control the hydraulic system
- The Testing section describes processes to perform to test the functionality of a CEB Press
Fabrication
Simple plates
Good to start with, all you need to do is punch/drill holes.
- Brick Holder Plate
- Controller Mount-Needs model. 10/4
- Dirt-Keeper Plate
- Valve Mount- Needs model. 10/9
Structural Supports
- Arms - primary-The models are correct except that the left arm also needs the slot for the roller guides.-Bri
- Arms - secondary
- Feet
- Grate mounts-
- Hopper supports-needs accurate diagram
- Leg Holders-needs model 10/9
Soil Loading System
- Hopper sheet metal-
- Hopper mounting plate-
- Soil grate- needs model. 10/7
- Soil Shaker motor unit-
- Soil Shaker-This build is good, however we're adding in a guard for the hammer soon.
Machine Core
- Frame with main cylinder-Page is finally done! the model can be completed now. 10/18
- Main Cylinder Preparation- Needs model 10/18
- Main Frame Preparation-Needs models 10/18
- Roller guides
- Soil loading drawer-I updated the rail placement. Now we need a model and diagrams for the "normal" CEB. Also, could somebody go back and change all of the a.) b.) c) ... things into numbers? -Brianna 10/7
Hydraulics
OPTION:
Manual
- Hydraulic control valve-I will update with my manual version w/pictures and schematic. -Bunny 11/5
Automatic
- Controller Box-The information here needs to be updated with correct circuitry, diagrams and pictures. Dorkmo has a board design that removes the breakout board putting the Detroit and breakout all in one. Will see if he can update with that info. -Bunny 11/5
- Solenoid valve-This wiring needs to be verified. -Bunny 11/5
- Solenoid Driver -Code needs to be verified. -Bunny 11/5
- Sensor Unit
Assembly
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.
