Meet the mechanical team, responsible for designing, building, and maintain the various parts of the submarine. These parts include:
- The enclosure;
- The main hub
- The mounts and rack systems;
- Actuators.
The hull of AUV8 is our most recent submarine. It was designed using SolidWorks and machined in a CNCs. In total, more than 250 hours were spent machining AUV8’s hull.
S.O.N.I.A. utilise SolidWorks, fourni par l'un de ses sponsors fidèles, pour la conception 3D. Le CNC et la fabrication additive sont ensuite utilisés pour fabriquer les pièces.
Additionally, the team is continually generating new ideas and supporting other departments to enhance the AUV’s efficiency. Moreover, the mechanical team collaborates closely with the electrical team to integrate various electrical systems into the submarine. Such as, a clip-based, toolless rack system for AUV8, developed by the mechanical team that has allowed the electrical team to remove components without using tools. This custom system was entirely created using additive manufacturing.
Enfin, l'équipe est chargée d'effectuer un entretien régulier pour maintenir l'intégrité du sous-marin.
