The project specification here was to design a solenoid operated piston pump with reference to the Gotec EMX 08 pump. The designed piston pump was required to deliver the following requirements and specifications:
Be insensitive to variations in manufacturing processes and robust against variations in operational environment.
Required Specifications:
Optimum Flow Rate: 0.50 litres/min
Flow Rate Tolerance: +/-0.05 litres/min
Flow Rate Tolerance: +/-0.05 litres/min
Also optimising product life cycle (maintain a failure rate of 0.1 ppm) by integrating various design methods (e.g. Taguchi method, MVRA/FMEA, Probilistic design and Accelerated life tesing)
