Simple electromechanical solution for custom furntiture
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
Spec and Source the required parts to make a custom platform bed slide open and closed as shown in the attached files.
Most Important: Spec and Source = Determine the appropriate devices in terms of design, size and power AND provide actual sources with product available to deliver to the EU (or possibly US). The deliverable for this project is a rough sketch and links to the actual parts necessary to implement the solution. Technical drawings are NOT required.
This is a relatively simple project from a technical perspective, but I am looking for you to solve the "whole" problem of finding compatible, fitting parts that are available for purchase immediately.
Details:
A. The furniture is a platform bed with a retractable stair section as shown in the attached video
B. The moveable piece is approximately 1900mm (width) x 1600mm (height) x 1000mm (depth)
C. Empty Weight is approximately 40kg, but design should allow for max laden weight of 200kg.
D. The run - the distance the piece needs to move - is approximately 800mm
I will provide specifics more spacing and exact measurements once we start talking.
Notes:
1. The piece currently moves smoothly and well (the video has a person behind it pushing)
2. The challenge is the tight fitting design of the moving and immobile structure.
3. The piece was originally designed and built to be manually moved, but the challenge is that it must be pushed and pulled in a perfectly straight line or it becomes impossible to fully retract.
4. The primary difficulty is the small spaces for the mechanical working parts.
5. The workings must be invisible from the outside, although there is space inside the structure.
6. The system must support dual controls. One at Bed level and one at floor lever.
I am very interactive and communicative on my projects. I will judge initial bids by experience, understanding of the task and ability to communicate in English.
