Onewheel, 2020
The size and shape of Onewheel tires required a manual and fatigue-inducing installation process. Because of the tire’s tendency to collapse on itself, traditional tire machines were ineffective or inefficient.
Actions:
A design analysis of existing tire installation technology was performed to determine if any off-the-shelf solutions may exist. Nothing was found that could meet the stated requirements.
I studied the manual labor motions required to install the tire, simplified them to a minimum number of motion axes, and designed a microcontroller-controlled, pneumatically-operated, multi-stage installation machine built into a light-curtain-protected 80/20 work cell.
Results:
As a result, assembly time for tires was cut to only five seconds, and worker fatigue was reduced significantly.
