Design and Optimization of Core Balancing Fixture in Vibration Sorting Rig (VSR)

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work studies the design of a fixture used in vibration sorting rig which is used for core balancing in turbo charger. The main objective of this paper is to design and optimize the fixture for holding the turbo chargers. To balance the core of turbo charger, turbine wheel and compressor wheel should balance which is turbine wheel is placed into the fixture. This paper analyzes the existing fixture and proposed new design. The fixture runs at higher speeds which is why we have to put the more concentration on the fixture design. The small issue in the fixture design results more problems due to high rotating speed of the turbine wheel of turbo charger. Many of the parts rejects due to poor fixture design. New fixture design is based on several aspects like design of work piece, rotating speed etc. The CFD analysis on the existing and proposed design is carried out. The results obtained were compared with existing fixture design.
