These tensioner brackets were designed to improve the tension in the drive belts on a steering mechanism for a scissor lift that was being modified for a project here at the university. I was paid to build these brackets, using solid model files from Solid Works. I then imported these into Mastercam were I generated toolpath operations and then using the appropriate post processor, generated the G code for the part program (I'm still working on getting more pictures of the milling simulation in Mastercam). After that, I down loaded the programs to the mill and made the brackets. I made two of each of the parts shown in the pictures below. |
