Initial Assembly DrawingAfter the screw pitch and diameter is determined, the next step is to design a drive assemblysystem which is basically used for mounting the timing screw with the feed through conveyorsystem. Also the drive assembly system will determine the direction of rotation or the directionof travel of the containers. Sometime a proper calculation and sizing drive to have a gear reducerfor the servo motor to rotate and operate the timing screw. Although in this research, gearreducer was not used but suggested rear ratio is 7:1 (Calculation was done from MotionAnalyzer, Rockwell Software, and Rockwell Automation). The other advantage of having a gearreducer is to avoid the inertia mismatch between the servo motor and the load; also it

Unfortunately, due to the high cost of dynamic soil testing equipment, fewstudents are able to have hands-on experience with this type of soil testing. Dynamic soil testingequipment such as cyclic triaxial and cyclic simple shear machines typically ranges from$60,000 to $200,000. As a result, typically only students at large research universities have anyexposure to this type of testing and only those performing research have anything more than anobservational experience.The apparatus discussed in this paper reflects the author’s attempt to develop an affordabledynamic soil testing system (less than $10,000).

After significant technical literature reviewand several trial and errors to thoroughly understand SSI implementation, the team successfullyincorporated them into the system.During sensor integration, another problem the team was encountered. Initially, it was decided thata loop would be used in the code to scan all sensors sequentially. However, it was later found thatdata collected in this way were always incorrectly parsed. Some sensors returned multiple resultsall at once, while others remained silent for extended periods. After additional research, the teamlearned that the serial data were treated differently as compared to a regular digital signal
