  3. Team Roles • Leader- Nate Kunzer • Scribe- Keval Amin • Scribe- CharveeMakwana • Timekeeper- Grant Wetherton

  4. Team Constitution • Respect each other • Avoid blaming others for any failures • NO idea will be ridiculed • Work is divided equally • NO ONE member will dominate over others • Respect each others opinions

  5. Timeline

  6. Timeline

  7. Problem Statement • Work for Alpha Engineering Company • Received note that can disposition needs to be reduced by 70% • Failure to do so results in $.05 penalty per can

  8. Background/Justification • Companies dissatisfied when they have to pay extra money

  9. Customers • Roadrunner Tracking • Mr.Pritchard- ITC Teacher

  10. Scope • Materials… • Screws • Nails • Metal hinges • PVC • Wood • Metal brackets • Resources • Ms. Hernacki- dimensions • Mr. Hund- CAD • Mr. Pritchard- Building, dimensioning

  11. Scope (cont.) • Customer Constraints • The max space the design can occupy is 18”x24”x30”. • Materials that can be used are wood, pvc, metal brackets, metal hinges, screws and nails. • Use a minimum of one simple machine. • It is permissible to place the aluminum can in the crusher. A 5% bonus will be awarded if a self- loading system is developed. (Note: Self-loading means that the aluminum can goes into the crusher without any human intervention). • The aluminum can must fall into the aluminum can bin once it is crushed. No human intervention is to be involved. • The aluminum can bin must slide in and out of the crusher. • The aluminum can bin must be sized to hold 20 crushed cans. • All parts of the can crusher must be fabricated. • The design is to be one unit. • Must be manually operated.

  12. Deliverables • Tech Report • PowerPoint Presentation • Final Can Crusher Prototype

  13. Brainstorming • History of Can Crushers • Define Can Crusher • Purpose • Relation to real world • Amount crushed at once • Size of hole where cans fall

  14. Research & Generate Ideas • A can crusher is an instrument used for crushing aluminum soda cans. • This is done to make storage easier. • This provides more space in the bin. • The very first can crusher was the human foot. • These can crushers are used in the real world when people or companies that have aluminum cans want to save space in the recycling bin. We can create a self loading system by using a robot to aid the cans into the can crusher.

  15. Identify Criteria & Specify Constraints • The max space the design can occupy is 18”x24”x30”. • Materials that can be used are wood, pvc, metal brackets, metal hinges, screws and nails. • Use a minimum of one simple machine. • It is permissible to place the aluminum can in the crusher. A 5% bonus will be awarded if a self- loading system is developed. (Note: Self-loading means that the aluminum can goes into the crusher without any human intervention). • The aluminum can must fall into the aluminum can bin once it is crushed. No human intervention is to be involved. • The aluminum can bin must slide in and out of the crusher. • The aluminum can bin must be sized to hold 20 crushed cans. • All parts of the can crusher must be fabricated. • The design is to be one unit. • Must be manually operated.
