HYGE: Pulse Development System for 6 quote mark Vertical HYGe

A Pulse Development System is required for the Vertical Acceleration Tower. This system consists of two primary components, a Modular Metering Pin Kit, and the Metering Pin Design Software. These items are designed for use with the HYGE 6 inch diameter vertical acceleration system or equal. Minimum specifications are below.

1. One (1) Modular Metering Pin Kit, consisting of:
a. Eight (8) or more Start bases.
b. One (1) Primary shaft, 14 inches long or longer (used to build the modular pins)
c. Spacer tube sections (used on shaft sections not used)
d. 132 Spacer segments (6 of each diameter in 0.050 quote mark steps, from 0.545 quote mark to 1.945 quote mark diameter, constant thickness) or better.
e. Miscellaneous items and hardware to lock segments onto shaft.


2. Metering Pin Design Software; this software calculates the required metering pin design to achieve desire acceleration pulse profiles. It must output data suitable for custom fabrication of a specific metering pin, or provide assembly order to fabricate a suitable pin from the components of the Modular Metering Pin Kit (above). Software has the following requirements:
a. Operates on a Windows based operating system.
b. Design a metering pin from a given acceleration pulse.
c. Enables the engineer to enter the characteristics of the desired acceleration waveform and automatically generate the metering pin profile.
d. Allow the engineer to model the parameters and see the changes instantaneously.
e. View the projected pin shape, pulse acceleration, and velocity on screen
f. Computation of standard half-sine, triangular, square, and hybrid wave forms, as well as a quote mark piecewise quote mark design mode which allows the designer to enter non typical pulse shapes.
g. Provides order/spacing of Modular Pin parts to assemble pin for test.
h. Saves data in text files.
i. Provides Comma Separated Value (CSV) files for use in Tables of CNC fabrication of designed pins.
