Abstract
Current methods for producing flowrators at
Goodman Manufacturing are inefficient. The
overall objective of this capstone project
was to design, manufacture, and test a
universal fixture that could be used to
manually produce flowrators for Goodman
Manufacturing. Throughout this capstone
project, the project team has completed the
conceptual design, finalized design,
manufacturing, and testing phases of this
project.
Introduction
Goodman Manufacturing requested that
the project team develop a universal fixture
to improve the current flowrator bending
process. The copper flowrators that are
installed in AC units are bent into the
appropriate shape manually by workers.
Approach
The project team took the following
approach to achieve the objective:
Consultation to develop functional
requirements
Initial concept design and review for
customer approval
Machine finalized design
Results
Functional Requirements
Goodman Manufacturing gave the project
team the following customer inputs, which
were developed into functional
requirements:
Concept
Conclusion
