CondorCam© Slider 

First is a series of different CAD models starting from the initial idea through to the final design.

I outsourced the water jet cutting and the brake forming. Once I got these back I machined all the v-wheel reference faces vertical and drilled and tapped all holes on both the slider body and the tube clamps that hold the rails. 

Next step is Anodizing and engraving, I just have to be patient because once I drop parts off to outsource an operation, its literally and figuratively "out of my hands"

... Three weeks later...

All 100 parts are back from anodizing and the 60 that were laser engraved have been processed, not the quickest turn around time but we're still on track. The "exploded view" is all the parts designed in-house that make up the slider and a heavy box from McMaster Carr showed up so its time to assemble a couple demo models. 

8 processes and the assembly of 104 parts per slider and 10 units are out the door, ready to have the electronics installed by Jesse at CondorCam.
