Abstract

This project report presents the work done on the design of an automatic fixture for SCANTOOL drilling machine. This is a bench type drilling machine that is used in Fabricating Workshop at Block B of Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). The machine is still using conventional power screw workpiece clamp vise that is required a lot of force applied by the operator to clamp the workpiece. If the clamping force applied toward the workpiece is not enough, the work piece could come out from the vise and could cause an injury to the operator or anybody nearby the machine. The objectives of this design project are to design and developed soft prototype of an automatic fixture for SCANTOOL drilling machine. To achieve the objectives, a flow chart was developed as a guide line to be followed. This project focusing on fully-automatic fixture that needs to customize to suite with the SCANTOOL drilling machine. Several designed ideas are generated and presented in this report. The listing of all parts need to be designed and fabricated, and the standard parts are also presented. SolidWorks software is used as designing tool and Automation Studio as a stimulation platform to animate the design. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) that available in SolidWorks has been used to analyse the design to make sure that the good design is produced. As a result, it was discovered that the design is strong enough to withstand the maximum drilling thrust force given to the surface of workpiece and factor of safety (FOS) of this design is greater than value of two as the minimum value. Suggestion for further work is also included in this report.
