Crosshead & Crosshead Shoe – Dimensional Analysis and Prototype Validation

This project involved detailed dimensional verification of crosshead and shoe models to assess assembly feasibility. Analysis revealed a ~0.49 mm rail-to-guide interference, along with asymmetric rail depths and fillet mismatches affecting alignment and motion. A 1:5 scale prototype confirmed the interference, supporting design revisions that helped prevent manufacturing issues, added costs, and production delays.
