Thermocouple Wire ProjectProject: Develop a self contained system to distribute thermocouple wire to the tunnel kiln for recording temperature data.
Step 1: Discuss initial design ideas with supervisor and other engineers involved
Step 2: Develop a CAD print to confirm the initial design and make changes if needed
Thermocouple Wire ProjectStep 3: Order required parts and outsource pieces that cannot be made in house. This requires getting a quote from a vendor.
Step 4: Fabricate components of the unit. Shown is a wheel made by an outside vendor.
Thermocouple Wire ProjectStep 5: Final assembly and installation!
From the CAD print, the unit consists of the wheel, rotary power supply, roller bearing, and an adjustable base post mounted to a movable pallet.
The design is functional and self contained for storage when not in use.
