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 The CEB CAD model visible above is known, for instance, to outdated with incorrect dimensions on some parts; it will likely be updated only after every component part is thoroughly reviewed and made current.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 machine's 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

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.

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

Machine Core

Frame 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

OPTION:

Manual

Hydraulic control valve-I will update with my manual version w/pictures and schematic. -Bunny 11/5

Automatic

Controller Box
Solenoid valve-This wiring is incorrect. -Bunny 12/21
Solenoid Driver
Sensor 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:
- Assembling Structural Components
Assembling the Soil Loading System- You'll need to have completed:
- Assembling Structural Components
Installing the secondary cylinder- You'll need to have completed:
- Adjusting the Drawer
Hard-lining the main cylinder- 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.
