  2. Metric Target Value(s) Importance Justification Max Payload ≥ 1000 lbs 1 Project purpose Tank Rotation ≥ 360-degrees (one axis) 2 Project purpose Reliability ≥ 99.9% uptime 3 Increase revenue Cost ≤ 10000 USD 4 Increase revenue Dimensions ≤ 12 x 5 x 6 ft (l x w x h) 5 Lean manufacturing Adaptability ≥ 1 Tank Model 6 Lean manufacturing Weight ≤ 500 lbs 7 Easily operable Degrees of Freedom ≥ 1 DOF 8 Easily operable Required Personnel ≤ 2 workers 9 Easily operable

  3. Lifting System Clamping System Rotating System

  4. Steel frame • Bolted HDPE-lined steel clamps • Pulley lifting system

  5. Welded Steel • Interchangeable winch • 4 ft. stroke • Locking Casters

  6. Hand wheel to rotate • Bolts to hold top and bottom • clamps together • 360° Rotation • Polyethylene contact surfaces

  7. Not to be included in prototype • Steel frame • Locking casters • Non-slip surfaces • Sliding center section for • bottom access • Unnecessary to validate concept

  8. Prototype Total Cost Implementation Costs

  9. Tank in neutral position Lifting Mechanism

  10. Clamping System Polyethylene Contacts

  11. Steel Frame Subsystem • Validate Design • Minimize Deflection (Less that 1/2" on uprights) • Lifting Subsystem • Lift and lower BBJ tank 4 feet • Adequate winch ergonomics • Rotation Subsystem • Rotates tank manually 360° • Verify location of tank center of gravity • Overall Safety

  12. Prototype lifted and rotated tank successfully • Clamping system very reliable • Test for center of gravity showed prototype design was off significantly • Winch requires too many rotations (may cause fatigue in operator) • Hand wheel requires too much force to turn (result of center of gravity problem) • Average deflection in uprights was .5” CG

  13. Order parts • Machine components • Assemble final design • Train workers in use and safety • Train operators on safe usage and protocol changes • Implement design into manufacturing process

  14. Change center of gravity on rotation system • Higher quality winch • Taller uprights • Thicker frame tubing • More ergonomic hand wheels

  15. Pats Aircraft • Matt Porter • Calib Janssen • Joe Reinhardt • LT • Advisor • Dr. Hartman • Machine Shop • Steve Beard • Al Lance • Finances • Ann Connor
