Constrution Tool Protyping for Tymatic
Challenge
The goal of this project was to create a battery-operated construction tool to replace the manual task of tying rebars together using steel wire, within the environment of a construction site.
Solution
TECHNIA design engineers evaluated several concepts in order to generate an initial design proposal. The design, manufacture, and control system was developed within just 4 weeks.
Results
The development of a working prototype was a major step in providing investors with the confidence to continue funding the project, and was later developed into a production solution.
The initial step was to evaluate the requirements of the product and generate a design specification. For example:
- Size of the bars to be considered
- Orientation of the ties
- Weight distribution
- Environmental conditions
The tying process was broken down into steps, e.g., feeding the wire around the bar, twisting the wire together, etc. Each step was investigated, and a solution was developed to address each challenge.
