Major accomplishments since last report:

Parts have been ordered and are starting to arrive.  I have finished building the table that our machine will operate on and have aquired a light curtain (used) as well as a PLC should we choose to program it.  Youngblood is assisting us with the pneumatics for the air logic and we have specified and purchased the air cylinders we need for the project.

Major problems since last report:

How we are going to stretch the fabric. Getting prototypes built that work with our new clip.  Getting the new clip re-activated from Rehau.
 

Objectives for next week:

Get the new clip re-activated and a few hundred yards of sample into Herman Miller.  Work on a new prototype design for the doors.
