Description

The team has been approached by Design Ready Controls (DRC) to design a feeding system for the Automated Cutting Expert (ACE) machine. The ACE will be capable of producing programmed cuts along the length for two specific materials (DIN rail and Wire Track). The team is building a belt-positioning system that will extrude material through manual cutting tools. The project will also include writing a software package for the ACE, consisting of a hardware control program and a user interface. The initial stage of this project involved researching existing machines with similar purposes and identifying applicable design aspects.
