TESTING & COLLECTING DATA
First Test:
Loading Mechanism
Test Procedure:
The test procedure for the paper airplane machine: loading mechanism will take about 7 mints.
1- Inspect the loading rollers and make sure that the rubbers are touching each other to make sure that the rollers will drag the paper in.
2- Inspect and remove if there are any particles on the rubber of the roller or on the roller itself. This will make the paper go through the rollers smoothly.
3- Make sure that the paper loading motor is connected to 12-volt battery.
4- You should have 11” x 8.5” paper to complete this test.
5- Now run the motor by turning on switch No. 1 showen in the picture. You will find the switches at the beginning of the paper path.
6- Wait 3 seconds so that the motor gets to its highest speed.
7- Put the paper on the paper path and push it towards the roller gently.
8- Start counting time as soon as the paper gets to the roller.
9- Turn the switch off along with the timer after about 40 seconds so that the folding process takes place while the paper still in the first roller.
10- After the folding process is completely done, turn the loading switch on again along with the timer.
11- Wait until the paper is completely out for the roller.
12- Stop the time counter and record the time.
Switches are labled. Switch No.1 at the left is for the loading process.
Paper Loading Test was done in Fluke Lab
Engineering Technologies, Safety and Counstruction Department.
Central Washington University
The Video Speed is (2x)
Second Test:
Battery Testing
Test Procedure: This test will take about 15 minutes. The batteries used are 12V Panasonic led acid batteries small size.
1- Charge the battries.
3- Connect the batteries to the motors properly using wires.
4- Measure the volts by using a multimeter while the motor switch is off. Then turn the switch on and after 60 seconds measure the volt. Recored the values.
Measuring the volt without load. Measuring the volt with the load.
5- Measure the current by using a multimeter while the motor switch is off. Then turn the switch on and after 60 seconds measure the current. Recored the values.
Measuring the current without load. Measuring the current without load.
