ICTS-2nd Analysis of the trial run
Before Mr Yu TT going to China we did a brainstorming to analyze the possible problems that could happen with the existed design and oprational standard. Here are the issues discussed and feedbacks and as well as the suggestions for project improvement.
1- The layout change of the ICTS for smoother operation.
Indeed before changing to straight layout from 90 degree layout, we did a few mechanical sliders but all of them we cannot control the friction that causing the gap on CvB to out of specs. Of course we can use the same pusher concept, or even robotic arm or pick n place procedures. Notwithstanding, these alternatives are costly and time consuming. The best way is simply to change the layout of the process. Since we have ample space and the new layout doesnt affect the standard operating procedures, thus it is chosen among other ideas. Here are the new layout of the prototype conveyors from 2 angles. This is from one angle. Here is from another angle.
2- The positioning of the sensors for more efficient control of the gap between mooncakes.
To get the best result for speed and distance we decide to place the sensors S3 and S4 as close as possible to the edge of the conveyors CvB and CvC which is about 50mm.
3- The replacement of the 50mm actuator to 75mm actuator.
