Peel Motor Assembly

This section will guide the reader on how to properly glue the worm-gear onto the shaft of a peel-motor to create peel-motor-asm.

Setup

Material needed

  • LOCTITE 435
  • worm-gear
  • peel-motor

QC Worm Gears

Not all worm-gears are printed consistently.

  • worm-gears should have a consistent even spiral throughout. It is to make sure that the peel-gear teeth can move within the worm-gear grooves.

A beautiful worm-gear!

Nasty boy worm-gear!

  • run a peel-gear manually through the grooves of the worm-gear to confirm that in can run through without resistance.

  • This gear is ready to be glued!

Assembly

  • Dispense a 1-2 drops of LOCTITE 435 to the end of shaft on peel-motor.

Start light with the glue because it can get messy

  • Bring peel-motor shaft to hole of worm-gear and firmly bring pieces together.

  • Place the peel-motor-asm on side or on head of peel-motor to dry.

  • Manually rotate the installed peel-gear to check if any glue fell into the motor's gearbox once it's dried for at least 3 minutes.

If you cannot rotate the installed peel-gear by hand, scrap the subassembly and record the material waste

Move the completed peel-motor-asm to the corresponding storage bin at the feeder assembly workstation
