CREATION OF 3D MODEL OF STUFFING BOX ,

ASSEMBLY AND DRAWING

Aim:
To create, assemble and draft a 3D Solid model of Stuffing Box using the solid modeling
software.
Tools Required:
1. Personal computer with Pentium 4 processor with Win XP
2. Solid Edge Software
Procedure:
1. Select new normal part (.prt) file.
2. Draw the profile using SKETCH command and modify it using TRIM and
EXTEND commands.
3. The body of the Stuffing Box is drawn by using the PROTRUSION and CUTOUT
commands, and ROUND command is used to make the filleted edges.
4. The Gland, bush, studs and nuts are drawn by using the simple commands
mentioned in the below table.
5. All the created parts are saved as separate part file.
6. Open new assembly window (.asm).
7. The parts of Stuffing Box are dragged to work space.
8. The relationship toolbar is activated.
9. Then, the parts are assembled using PLANAR MATE and AXIAL ALIGN
Commands in the solid edge assembly.
10. New drafting window (.dft) is opened for 2D drafting of the object.
11. The parts of stuffing Box are dragged to work space and orthographic views are
drafted using PRINCIPAL VIEW command.
12. Finally, the assembled view and orthographic views of all the parts are plotted in an
A4 size window.
