Manufacturing Operation Sheet
New U-Bracket
1. Start with ~3/8” steel plate
2. If possible, have Klein Steel shear the plate into the 3 pieces with the correct perimeter
a. Alternate option is to get the plate sized to twice the length and saw the angle and
end up with the two side pieces
3. Drill 4 holes in base piece
4. Weld side pieces to base piece
5. Drill the 3 holes in the two sides
Static RA Arm
1. Start with steel L bar
2. Saw to length
3. Mill off half the L on each side
4. Drill hole in each of the ears sticking out (This could be step 3. It would give us the
option to re-drill if we messed up the first one
Pipe Flange
1. Start with 4 individual pieces
a. 1 pipe of approx. 3.52” OD and 0.25” wall thickness
b. 1 circular plate approx. 3/8” thick
c. 2 smaller rectangular plates approx. 0.25” thick
2. Mill notch in pipe
3. Weld pipe to circular plate
4. Mill slot in pipe
5. Mill 2 small rectangular plates so they are to size and have the chamfer
6. Drill hole though each rectangular plate
7. Weld the small plates to the pipe
8. Drill 6 holes in the circular plate
LA Mounting Arm
1. Start with 0.5” steel bar
Manufacturing Operation Sheet
2. Ideally Klein Steel will be able to shear this to the correct length and width
3. Drill 3 holes
LA to Dec Bracket
1. Start with approx. 1.5” x 3.5” x 2 ¾” steel
2. Mill center clot and chamfer
3. Drill small hole
4. Drill 2 larger holes
Shear Pin Sleeve
1. Start with steel rod
2. Turn down to correct diameter
3. Saw / mill / part off at correct length
4. Drill through hole (Does this need to go all the way through? Can the small of a hole be
drilled?)
RotMount-BottomPlate
1. Start with 3/4” thick circular plate with 5.5” diameter
2. Bore / Turn / Mill / Drill large center hole
3. Mill flats on both places
4. Drill 8 through holes
5. Counter bore the 8 through holes
6. Drill 6 through holes
7. Drill and tap 2 holes on one flat
8. Drill and tap 4 holes on other flat
Rotary Limit Switch Activator
1. Start with 0.1” x 2” x 1.25” steel piece
2. Mill profile
3. Drill hole
4. (Should we weld this to the adapter plate? If it’s just screwed in, it could potentially
rotate over time)
