2022-2023: In collaboration with Collins Aerospace, this student team explored design improvements for the tab removal process within heat exchanger (HX) assembly. To improve corrosion resistance, heat exchangers are coated with a silver-aluminum paint coat during assembly, which must be…
Design of a Universal End Effector for Robotic Assembly of Heat Exchanger Cores
2021-2022: In collaboration with Collins Aerospace, this student team designed a universal end effector to assist with robotic assembly of heat exchanger (HX) cores. The current manual assembly process is economically inefficient and time consuming so Collins is transitioning to…
