FOR ROD

One end of the ROD connects to an

existing customer GUIDE CYLINDER Customer Concept

assembly.

The other end of the ROD connects to the

customer's tool. The ROD contains a 3mm

hole and a key-way to attach the tool.

The ROD requires a support GUIDE. The ROD travels through the support GUIDE. The

GUIDE-ROD assembly is the finished customer product.

The GUIDE-ROD assembly is a component used in a low volume manufacturing

environment. Investigate a few key design issues:

• How will the customer use the GUIDE-ROD assembly?

• How are the parts PLATE, ROD and GUIDE used in the GUIDE-ROD assembly?

• Does the GUIDE-ROD assembly affect other components?

• Identify design requirements for load, structural integrity or other engineering

properties.

• Identify cost effective materials.

• How are parts manufactured?

• What are their critical design features?

• How will each part behave when modified?

You may not have access to all of the required design information. Placed in a concurrent

engineering situation, you are dependent on others and are ultimately responsible for the

final design.

Dimensions for this project are in millimeters. Design information is provided from

various sources. Ask questions. Part of the learning experience is to know which

questions to ask and who to ask.

The ROD part requires support. During the manufacturing operations, the ROD exhibits

unwanted deflection.
