- 6. Updated CAD Model Update the CAD model as per last meet discussion(SATYAM), Do the labelling of the updated CAD as described (Vaidik) (take idea from satyam) IMPORTANT : use font for labelling as in previous labelled CAD for better visuals Make the CAD more accurate to dimensions, slightly tilted view(isometric) with measures notified as : dimension, weight of the body, weight with all the components, weight with all the components and with all bottles fill with water (Satyam)
- 7. 7 Improvement in Design by Incorporating Mentor’s Suggestions 1st Proposed CAD design 2nd Proposed CAD design 3rd Proposed CAD design 4th Proposed CAD design (Add the MOM Date (reference from Deepak sir) (SATYAM)) (MOM – 13-04-2022) Funnel can be directly connected to shutter Bottle size modification More no. of sensors and good quality of sensors should be installed (Suggestions; MOM – 10-02-22) Enhance stability of device Design modification Storage container should be removed DAQ will not be required Change in shutter mechanism (MOM – 29-08-2022) Reduce weight to 20 kgs from 45 kg Limit the capacity of bottles to 40-50 in place of 100 Location of the motor can be shifted from M4 to M2 Reduce total dimension Weight is around 14.5 kgs • No. of bottles – 49 LCD is attached for local display Module 4 parts are shifted to module 2 to reduce size Total dimension – 50*50*50(in cm)
