Chassis (cad001b)




The second concept using the same design as the first but with major refinement.

Now inclludes sensor slots, Threaded body adaptor ring for joining body sections to the base with threaded rod, Increased ribbing on the floor to reinforce the side cover screw holes and with the adaptor ring moulded seperately from the body, the main chassis section could be extrusion moulded on a smaller scale ( 1:2) in nylon for corrosive enviroments or mass productionfor childrens toys.
Crystal clear acrylic extrusions could also be cast for internal viewing of the robots components for school and hobbie applications.
EXTRUSION EXAMPLE

Body Ring prototype (cad-01a)


First design for the main stay of the body ring system.
Pin locator's and matched wiring ducts running though the ring allow interlocking of the rings to allow a stronger design and make it easier to line up the internal ports, this will minimize cable damage during assembly of the chassis.

Features

  • Modular design
  • rounded edges for comfort and improved appearance
  • Multi direction sensor ports
  • Reconfigurable design that allows easy breakdown and reassembly
  • Ability to resized and fabricated to suit many applications using a range of techniques and materials, including nylon, aluminium and acrylic plastic
  • Durable and cost effective design
Further development of these section's will allow for increased usage with more sensors and other options like servo mount rings for arms and side pods.
