Preparing for PID (Week 10)

Prototype inspection day is coming up and the team is busy adding updates to our device to be as close to the final product as possible for the big day. The mechanical team finalized one tube attachment out of the two that will be included in the final product. The electrical team have successfully integrated the Nextion display into the system. 

Finished Tube Attachment 

One out of the two final tube attachment designs is finished! This design allows the tube to fit onto a thin rod and cool down the rod whilst it is in use. The design also has fluid move to one end of the rod to release coolant onto a targeted space. The coolant is fed into the attachment through another tube connected at the y-port.

Nextion Display 

The electrical team has worked to integrate the new Nextion display into the system. The display is currently a one-way communication system with a regular operation limited to 400 rpm for the pump. The display can be controlled through the screen and a remote to allow the person operating a drilling tool to control the flow rate of coolant with the same hand.
