Automated Tube Layout Fixture

EA Patten is a manufacturing company that fabricates tubes for various industries. A layout fixture is created for each tube geometry before being sent to production. Layout blocks are used to set the height and angle of each tube, and currently each of these set-ups is done manually. The goal of this project is to design, fabricate and demonstrate a layout gauge that can be used to grip a layout block and automatically set the height and angle of it using manual coordinates. This automatic gauge has to decrease current set-up time, decrease human error and maintain the tolerances required by EA Patten.
