Week 7 Summary

5/20/12


Today the entire assembly of our manual transmission has been pieced together in Pro ENGINEER. What is left to do is to set up the mechanics and animations for it.

Finished assembly


Exploded assembly


5/16/12


Today every gear and axle has been made on Pro ENGINEER. We are now creating an assembly which will show the mechanics of our manual transmission. The one thing we need to figure out is the spacing between each and every gear on each axle. It is important that the spacing is perfect because gears could mesh poorly and strip the gears. Here is a picture of our general assembly:

Input Shaft (Green), Output Shaft (Blue), Shifter (Gray)

After spacing has been determined, we will send Deepak the STL files for printing.

Deepak has showed us how to make a Mechanism on Pro E. By next week, he wants the entire transmission as a Mechanism on Pro E.
