3D Engineering of Quality Control Station
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need a 3D engineer for the design of a quality control station.
Assumptions for the implementation of the project: creation of a quality control station for 5 powder coating guns
Project goal
The goal is to create a quality control station for 5 powder coating guns.
I want to use this station to test buttons in a powder coating gun. We want to check if the buttons are not jamming and if they are working properly. We also want to test the durability of these buttons and their effectiveness.
We will do the programming ourselves, but it will depend on the mechanical design of this system.
Project assumptions:
The guns should be mounted to ensure that mechanical tests of the buttons are carried out.
The buttons located at the back of the gun (3 buttons) and the main gun button at the front of the gun (1 button). The buttons are marked in the photo below Figure 1.
Figure 1
It is necessary to design the possibility of starting tests by pressing individual buttons. So that, for example, each button can be programmed to be pressed any number of times. An electric or pneumatic solution can be used for this.
One possibility is to use a small pneumatic actuator. Such an actuator is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2.
The actuator rod will extend causing the button to be pressed.
The mounting of these elements causing the button to be pressed must be designed.
An easy and quick way of mounting and changing the test guns must be taken into account.
The control station is to be designed so that 5 guns can be tested simultaneously.
My proposal for this station:
Make a base plate (e.g. formwork plywood, polycarbonate plate, etc.) measuring 1000x500.
Devise a way to attach the guns to the plate so that the guns are easily attached to the holders and allow for testing.
The entire station must be portable.
The holders for the paint spray guns and other elements of the station can be made of plastic or metal.
The attached model of the gun needed to design the station.
An example of how to make such a station is shown in Figure 3. This is only the initial appearance of the station, of course there are many things missing here.

I am attaching a model of the powder gun that is to be used to test the buttons, Figure 4.

We expect:
The entire project is to be made in SolidWorks 2021 or older. Individual system elements are to be made in the SolidWorks Part format, and documentation is to be made in the SolidWorks Drawing Document format. Then, each document is also to be saved in pdf. Individual elements (parts) are to be assembled in the format into the entire project and saved in the SolidWorks Assembly document.
All details are to have a specific material from which they are to be made and the best planned method of execution, i.e. the detail is to be made by machining
The project is to be made in a technological way so that based on the documentation received, the entire designed system can be physically made in an easy and cheap way.
