The fabrication of the Inter Conveyor Prototype Model Part 1

We did some mechanical job today, after the job had been postphoned for quite a while. Anyway we started the work by making the aluminum stand first. The size is 200mm X 200mm X 300mm. As to connect the aluminum bar, we use rivet to make it nicer with less time required for assembly. Once the stand is completed, we continued with the zinc slider. Our prototype size only took about 660mm X 480mm. So now we still have quite a lot of remaining 8foot zinc. The slider design was drawned onto the zinc first and latter we cut the zinc using metal scisosor. Next we bend the design based on the line we marked on the zinc. It tooks some time to completed it nicely. By end of the day we completed both the stand and the slider. Next what we gonna do is to install the pneumatic pusher and switches to complete the prototype.
