CEB Press/Manufacturing Instructions/Make

Same as other manufacturing page, only this will have all the links attached to make pages.

This page is the starting point for making a CEB Press:
 * The Fabrication section details the process of making the parts from raw materials
 * The Assembly section identifies the process of putting the parts together to form the machine
 * The Programming section deals with automating the process by using a microcontroller called an Arduino to control the hydraulic system
 * The Testing section describes processes to perform to test the functionality of a CEB Press

Simple plates
Good to start with, all you need to do is punch/drill holes.
 * Brick Holder Plate
 * Controller Mount
 * Dirt-Keeper Plate
 * Valve Mount

Structural Supports

 * Leg Holders
 * Legs
 * Feet
 * Needs 4 Leg Holders
 * Arms - primary-
 * Arms - secondary
 * Needs 8 Leg Holders
 * Grate mounts
 * Hopper supports
 * Needs Soil Shaker (this should be dis-assembled, although you can do it assembled, its just heavier and more difficult to maneuver.)

Soil Loading System

 * Hopper sheet metal-
 * Hopper mounting plate
 * Soil grate-
 * Soil Shaker motor unit
 * Shaker Mount-needs CAD hole diagrams
 * Soil Shaker - needs fab drawings

Machine Core

 * Soil loading drawer
 * Roller guides

Frame Preparation

 * Wide Cylinder Supports
 * Main Cylinder Preparation

Assembling the frame
You'll need to have finished all other components in Machine Core and Frame Preparation and 2 Leg Holders

Hydraulics

 * Hoses - Secondary cylinder hose unit

OPTION:

Manual


 * Hydraulic control valve-I will update with my manual version w/pictures and schematic. -Bunny 11/5

Automatic


 * Controller Box-The information here needs to be updated with correct circuitry, diagrams and pictures. Dorkmo has a board design that removes the breakout board putting the Detroit and breakout all in one. Will see if he can update with that info. -Bunny 11/5
 * Solenoid valve-This wiring needs to be verified. -Bunny 11/5
 * Solenoid Driver -Code needs to be verified. -Bunny 11/5
 * Sensor Unit

Assembly
Before beginning assembly, insure you have finished all of the components listed above.
 * Assembling Structural Components
 * Adjusting the Drawer- You'll need to have completed:
 * Assembling Structural Components
 * Assembling the Soil Loading System- You'll need to have completed:
 * Assembling Structural Components
 * Installing the secondary cylinder- You'll need to have completed:
 * Adjusting the Drawer
 * Hard-lining the main cylinder- You'll need to have completed:

Final Assembly and Job Site Setup

Programming
An Arduino is the microprocessor that controls the CEB Press's actions. It must be programmed with the CEB Press's unique program for making bricks.
