Fabrication Plan

The fabrication plan mostly stayed on schedule with only minor delays. The aluminum casing took longer than planned but did not greatly impact the overall schedule. The biggest challenge was manufacturing the iron magnet fixture, which was delayed due to incorrect machine setup and issues during tapping and assembly that required replacing parts. Overall assembly was completed in the middle of week 7, later than the scheduled end of week 6 due to problems encountered during assembly.

As shown above, the fabrication plan stayed relatively on schedule. The aluminum casing did
take longer than anticipated, however because of the scheduling, did not greatly delay the overall
fabrication of the prototype.

The biggest struggle with keeping with the fabrication target deadlines was seen through
manufacturing the iron magnet fixture. The start time was delayed from incorrect machine setup. Also,
during the taping of the #6-32 holes in the fixtures, two drill taps were lodged into the holes. Two more
iron pieces needed to be fabricated. During assembly, one of the screw heads was sheared off causing a
screw to be lodged into one of the #6-32 holes of the iron fixtures. Another iron fixture needed to be
fabricated.

Partial assembly was completed at the end of week 6, however was delayed until the middle of
week 7 due to problems during assembly.

Full assembly and completed fabrication of the prototype was done on Wednesday, February
26th, of week 7. Completed fabrication and assembly gave the following observations:

 Overdamped eddy current damper


 No rubbing
 Prototype weighs over the specified maximum
 Utilized epoxy for copper fixturing
 All other materials used were space-friendly
