ROV Tether Winch

In the class “Sophomore Design” at LSU (ME2212), we were grouped into teams, and given certain design tasks. Out of the provided options, our team chose to develop a tether winch for a remotely operated underwater vehicle, an ROV. While my groupmates worked on the extensively long report, I took on the task of 3D modeling the entire thing, as I was the only one in our group with significant skill in that department. Real parts were replicated in 3D, including the T-slot extrusions, bracketing, the motor, and the gearbox. On top of the CAD model, I created all 18 drawings (4 are pictured). It was a very detailed project, with torque simulations on the drum, and more.

This was my first in-depth team project experience, and everything went great. We got a great grade on our report.
