Upon returning to Earth, astronauts have balance disturbances, disorientation, and impaired coordination and locomotion. It also causes space motion sickness and decreased coordination. This produces visual disorientation, thinking things are upside down when they are not. But in space, this is a problem for astronauts as they do not know up from down since gravity is negligible. The neurovestibular system consists of visual (eyes and perception), vestibular (inner ear and balance) and proprioception (muscles and position) signals and helps human beings maintain their balance and stability while walking and moving on Earth. The treadmill was developed to address issues related to deconditioning of the neurovestibular system in weightless environments. Whatever happens on screen is reflected in the speed and pitch of the treadmill. Developed as a proof of concept, the device will let astronauts simulate a walk, for example, on the Appalachian Trail, walking up and down hills, around curves and occasionally stepping over rocks and logs. It also has a virtual reality screen that immerses the user into an environment ranging from walking down a path, stair climbing or hiking along a curved trail. The treadmill has two independently operated treads with actuators at each end that can raise and lower vertically, incline and decline, and change speeds. The Mechanical Core designed and constructed an innovative treadmill that may help astronauts keep their motor skills sharp after long weightless journeys. Services Provided: Designed & Constructed Treadmill / Electrical / Machining / CAD / CAM Welding of Aluminum & Steel / Pneumatics. Old, dull and/or damaged instruments can be returned to like-new condition. Instrument Manufacturing and Refurbishing The shop also handles wood in order to make fixtures or low devices for various research projects. Our plastic shop is where most of the fabrication of acrylic, polycarbonate, ultem, polysulfone and other plastics is performed. Standard metalworking equipment is available for shearing, bending and forming sheet metal and bar stock. We also work closely with local heat treaters to fill voids where our capabilities leave off. With our high precision temperature-controlled programmable electrical furnace, we can provide a range of heat treatments for steel items up to 4" x 6" x 12". Polishing and buffing to mirror finish is our signature. To add text or designs to any metallic face we have an electrical etcher that burns the desired display into the surface of the device. We have aluminum oxide beads that give a slightly dimpled finish, or silicon carbide chips that give a deeper etched finish. The look of the final product is what matters giving devices a good looking outer finish we use either one of our two bead blasting methods. Three types of grinders allow us to achieve lustrous surface finishes on hardened materials such as chromium cobalt, hardened tool steels, carbides and heat-treated stainless steels while holding extremely close tolerances. We are well versed in Brazing, silver soldering and tin soldering. Our TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), MIG, Plasma welding and cutting, Oxy-Acetylene and Arc welders allow us to weld a variety of materials including stainless steel, steel, aluminum and titanium. Capabilities range from turning large diameters (21") to holding extremely high tolerances. As a result, we can generate geometries as complex as conventional milling allows.įour engine lathes of various sizes are specially suited for high precision custom work. Five vertical milling machines combined with machine fixtures and tooling increase the versatility of our milling machines.
