November 23, 2012 Collaborative Production Run
see CEB Press. See License. Follows rules of .
Preparation
- Dalton Hydraulics - ordered Hydraulic Solenoid Valve for CEB Press.
- Ordered Annular Cutters
- Ordered 1" Bandsaw Blades - fine tooth
- Ordered 2 more Mag Drills Magnetic Drills
- Ordered CEB Cam Followers - 4 from IBT in Kansas City
- Ordered CEB Hydraulic Cylinder
- Ordered CEB IV Surplus Center Order - Surplus Center + Cylinder order took 1 hour including part replacement for missing items (secondary cylinder out of stock, selected new one)
- Sweiger Metal Order - File:Sweigernovceb.ods - note puncher dies are 1-1/16" for 1" holes, and 1-3/32 for the bottom half - needs clearance.
- Note: 3x6 u-channel is special order. Will use 4x6 angle and weld on another 1/2x3 flange. Accelerates cutting, but requires welding.
- Mokan fastener order - File:Mokannovcdb.ods
Change Notes
Design Modifications
- Based on modular rear hopper supports, add quick attach to front hopper supports as well
- Shorten horizontal frame u-channels from 22" by 1.5" - to allow for the front hopper support to be mounted on the primary arms
- Simplify shaker shield to a single flat plate
- Add a more robust, modular holding mechanism for sensors
- Add safety disconnect for machine turn-off
- Can we get a better packing fraction on Part 24 of CEB IV Master Index?
- Shorten rail by 2" at the front of the machine, leave hanging 8" beyond drawer chamber at the rear.
- Use 1"x3" bar instead of 1/2"x3 (or 1/2"x5/8") and 1/2"x2"
- Lengthen hinges to 34" for the hopper and 24" for the grate supports
- Reduce bottom pin bushings from 1.8" to 1.5"
- Make bushing for bottom cylinder mount to frame the same as the end tube - 1.5"x2.5" DOM tubing - to reduce material list
- Remove bolt holes for back of hopper supports (shaker side) and clamp instead on top with 1/2"x6" flat.
Fabrication Drawing Corrections
- Fab Drawing (Part) #151: Correct spelling of Brake
- Part #153 & #154: change wall thickness from 1/2" to 1/4"
- Part #90: update to heavier hinge. Punching holes is preferred to drilling. Update length to not drill.

Fabrication Abstract
Build all parts from raw material. Team 1: hopper sheet metal cutting with 2 plasma cutters, hinge cutting to size with ironworker, punching of holes with hinge put in place on front and back hopper sheets. Team 2: does all cover plate sheet metal. Team 3: Ironworker team does pieces and holepunches them. grate fab after 1/4x2s and angle pieces are sheared on ironworker. Team 4: Cold cut team. Team 5: Bandsaw Team for 2.5"x3/16" tubing. Cuts metal for drawer at same time.
Optimization Abstract
Hole puncher needs to have operability by 1 person with a well-positioned valve. 2 plasma cutters need to be in place. 4 welders need to be available. 2 acetylene torches should be available. CNC torch table will get hopper fab down to 1/2 hour for cutting. CNC torch table will optimize metal cutting for drawer and frame. Ironworker needs to be upgraded to handle 1/2"x4"x6" angle.
Hopper + Grate
Steps
- Mark and plasma cut sheet metal
- Cut hinge
- Mark and tack hinge to side plates
- Match holepunch with 3/4" bit
- Weld nuts on the back of rear and front hopper sheets
- Assemble and clamp bolted on sheets - permanent weld to side sheets
- Grind off tacks and bolt through
