DETERMINING THE OPTIMAL DIMENSIONS FOR A MECHANISM FROM A WHEELCHAIR USING LABVIEW

The optimum selection of process parameters plays a very important role to ensure quality of product, to reduce the machining cost and to increase the productivity. Customizing a product to improve performance requires a reliable method to measure performance, in order to evaluate the effects that design changes have on them. A product development process can be thought as a sequence of activities to be completed. This paper has the purpope to analyse the influence of the parameters for equipment from a wheelchair that will overcome obstacles. The fuzzy logic is used through specialized software to optimize several parameters of the proposed mechanism with the purpose to ensure the stability through maintaining horizontality of the equipment. Comparing experimental values with those obtained through the software model, is determined whether the model used is consistent.
