CMT MEASURES UP !

From Joel Cummuskey (the 2010 chassis engineer)


With so much of the car designed on 3D software it is integral that the team has accurate models of essential parts of the car. With the team moving to a brand new engine for 2010 it was essential that an accurate model of the engine could be generated so design on the intake, exhaust, oil systems and chassis could continue.

So, on Wednesday the 24th of March a number of team members went to EL ES DE Engineering in Welshpool to use their FARO arm. The arm allows points in 3D space to be measured to an accuracy of 0.02mm. With the use of the arm and the generous support offered from Dusko Mackoski the team was able to create an extremely accurate model of the engine in a very short space of time.

With the new engine model chassis arrangement, engine mounting and general packaging has now been able to be finalised and the design of the 2010 car can progress towards manufacture.

Thanks to EL ES DE Engineering and Dusko Mackoski for their time and support.

CMT takes a 3d model of the new CBR 600RR engines

Joel Cummuskey recently went to our good friends at EL ES DE Engineering to use their Faro-Arm.

This device takes points from a surface and inputs them into a 3d computer model.

Joel will be using this accurate model of the engine to help design the mounts for the engine in his chassis design for 2010.

See below for some interesting snap shots taken during the day.
