Last week we completed the construction of circuit boards.So in week 10, we have started the process of making body wheelchair. In wheelchair body building process, we have had difficulty making because we do not have the equipment and we had to book it from the cutting steel shop. We have sent the diagrams and measurements for body wheelchair. We have chose to use aluminum metal because it is cheap, easy to cut, and lighter than other metals.
This diagram is a measurement of our electronic wheelchair.Since it is only a protoype we used a small scale to save time and reduce costs.The height is 15cm , the width is 15cm , and the length is 18cm
Picture above is an example of aluminum.Why we use aluminum because :
It’s lightweight—Aluminum weighs less by volume than most other metals. In fact, it is about one-third the weight of iron, steel, copper, or brass. This makes it easier to handle and less expensive to ship.
It’s strong—Aluminum profiles can be made as strong as needed for most applications. Cold-weather applications are particularly well-served by aluminum because, as temperatures fall, aluminum actually becomes stronger.
It’s non-combustible—Aluminum does not burn and, even at extremely high temperatures, it does not produce toxic fumes.
It’s seamless—With aluminum, complex shapes can be realized in one-piece extruded sections without having to use mechanical joining methods. This makes the parts stronger and less likely to leak or loosen over time.
Below are some pictures of the wheelchair body making .
The Result
