In this week, our team already found the acceptable
sheet metal. The gage of the sheet metal is 30 which was what we expected. We
decided to use this sheet metal for our corrugated metal strip. We cut a small
piece from the sheet metal for testing. The result was promised. Therefore, we
decided to use it for our project. Our next goal is cut the piece out from the
sheet metal. The width of the piece will be 5mm.
In addition, we refined the gear set platform. We
added a base for the platform in order to level it. We found the gears would be
pushed apart when bending the metal strip. Thus, we add a piece of wood to
connect the top of the two screws. The added wood piece would keep the gears
together. The refined gear set works perfectly with our new sheet metal. Our
team is ready for corrugated metal strip fabrication.
