Magnet Safety Fixture

This magnet safety fixture was a request made after a worker was injured assembling a high-strength magnet assembly. Their finger was caught in-between these strong magnets, resulting in a visit to the hospital. To prevent this from happening again, I was to design a fixture that would make it so that the assemblers fingers would be no where near the magnets as they were put together.

Using the model of the magnet in Creo, I designed a handle fixture that could be screwed directly onto the magnet using the same screws that are already included in the assembly. I made sure to take into account the different stresses and forces the handle would be experiencing while designing it. I also made sure there would be enough room for a hand to grab the handle comfortably.
