Summer Projects

•  Sectioning Fixture Design Project •  High Purity High Flow Verification and Validation Support •  ABT Remake Testing

2


Sectioning Fixture Design Project: Background

•  110/85 Hours Completed (100% Complete) •  Tech Sponsors: Greg Arcangelini and Jordon Welle •  There is a sectioning fixture at the OFC but it is not

compatible to the saw at Highland •  Objective: Design and test a sectioning fixture

compatible to the saw at the Highland facility

3


Sectioning Fixture Design Project: Initial Designs

4


Sectioning Fixture Design Project: Non-Scalable Design

•  Iterations to Centering •  Added length and supports •  Produced properly sectioned fittings

5


Sectioning Fixture Design Project: TPR

•  Led a TPR with five associates present to discuss the current design, manufacturability and possible designs that would accommodate multiple fittings on one fixture

•  Received comment sheets from all associates present •  TPR was a great chance to practice presentation skills

and public speaking •  Also emphasized the importance of input from several parties during the design process

6


Sectioning Fixture Design Project: Current Status

7

•  Met with machining services to go over manufacturing fixture in stainless steel

•  Currently awaiting completion of a ½” fixture •  Hoping to submit drawing for ¼” and 3/8” fixtures if the ½” fixture comes out well


HPHF Verification and Validation : Project Background

•  132/100 Hours Completed (100% Complete) •  Tech Sponsor: Tim Gray •  The ALD20 Valve is set to wrap up prototype testing for a

customer in August •  It is currently in the verification stage •  Objective: Keep testing of valve on track by supporting

the process in a variety of roles

8


HPHF Verification and Validation : Responsibilities

•  Monitor the high speed cycle rig •  Perform flow tests for the actuators on the high speed

cycle rig and replace failed actuators •  Prepare components to be used on the high speed cycle

rig and in the heated test •  Perform helium leak tests

9


HPHF Verification and Validation : Design Projects

•  Designed and 3-D printed a fixture to fit the valve to the mount during laser printing

•  Also redesigned a fixture used in testing the bellows to make the welding process easier

10


ABT Remake Testing: Project Background

•  70/200 Hours Completed •  Tech Sponsor: Scott Nutter •  The ABT team is currently testing several sizes to

investigate gas seals and flaring •  Objective: Provide the necessary support to help

complete this test according to the very tight timeline dictated by the customer

11


ABT Remake Testing: Flaring Investigation

•  Remake fittings •  Measure the length of the fitting and the radius of the

flaring •  The flaring test was very urgent so that the issue of

flaring could be addressed in a timely manner

12


Technical Takeaways

•  Increased fluency with Solidworks •  Better understanding of the machines/ tools in the lab •  Better understanding of the testing process required of

new products

13


Professional Takeaways

•  Be proactive •  Don’t be afraid to ask questions •  Communication/ Presentation Skills •  Consult as many knowledgeable people as possible •  It is important to set and maintain a timeline
