1 INTRODUCTION
In this paper is presented the work done until
now by UPT team regarding the redesign of a
jigsaw in VRL-KCiP program, foreseen as task
JRA-WP4-T300 managed by professor Lionel
Roucuoles from Université de Technologie de
Troyes, France. The task’s idea is “to run a design
case based on VRL partners’ competencies with
respect to “Virtual Prototyping”. This task’s aim is
to emphasis the possible ways to redesign this
product and obtain an improved solution via a
collaborative work developed by a number of teams
from different universities Greece, Italy, France,
Romania, and Poland. The aim of the “design case”
proposed is to “set and/or improve the design
process of that product, provide a maximum of
information with respect to its development (i.e.
Virtual Prototyping) and “virtually” assess the
whole life cycle of the product”. The collaboration
between teams has to lead to an improved
constructive solution for the jigsaw. Our team is
working to conceptual design phase for the jigsaw.
Using the axiomatic and systematic approaches
(design method, functional analysis tools, Pahl &
Beitz approach), we tried to find and propose a new
solution for the jigsaw. Starting from its main
functionality and using the functional analysis we
analyzed the possible constructive solutions to
improve the actual model of the jigsaw. Next we
built the design matrix for the jigsaw, module-
junction diagram and flow chart diagrams. In a
future work we will take into account for the
conceptual design phase the constraints and
discussions we had with other teams and refine the
conceptual design phase. 1 Universitatea Politehnica din Timi�oara, Centrul de

2 ICOM BOX FOR UPT TEAM
This design case is governed by the hypothesis
that “virtual prototyping represents all activity and
information that concerns the development of a
product in a “Virtual World”. The rules established
for this design case are to apply our own research
even it is not 100% formalized, to be proactive,
namely to provide aspects that has not been set at
the beginning and to make our thoughts about this
matter known and use the inputs like an existing
CAD model and a preliminary design process.
Each team had to present what kind of activity
can provide and which are the inputs and outputs
for the activity. To formalize the provided activities
and to obtain finally an aggregation all the activities
provided it was used the ICOM box model, derived
from IDEF0 Modeling Language (*). These ICOM
boxes are rectangular boxes that contain a unique
text description or label which describes the activity
expressed as a verb phrase. A line entering the
process on the left shows INPUT. Each input has a
label that describes information used by the activity.
A line leaving the process to the right shows
OUTPUT. Each output has a label that describes
information delivered by the process. Completion of
the process may be subject to one or more controls
that constrain the way in which the process may be
undertaken. A line entering the top of the process
shows a CONTROL. Each control has a label that
describes the constraint on the process. Completion
of the process may use one or more mechanisms
that assist or have an involvement with its
undertaking. A line entering the underside of the
process shows a mechanism. A mechanism is an
actor in the process and may be a person, a database
or software that is used. Each mechanism has a
label that describes what it is. The activities
engaged from the participant teams are: component
selection, manufacturing processes selection and

DFM, advanced reverse engineering modeling-,
ergonomic modeling, manufacturing strategies,
recycling modeling, FE analyses, manufacturing
strategies, conceptual design, and virtual
prototyping. Regarding the possible activities that
can be developed by teams (figure 1) our team
started to develop “Conceptual design phase” and
the corresponding ICOM BOX for this activity is
presented in figure 2.
Figure 2. ICOM box for UPT Team
The activity that we have to provide is
presented in figure 2. The inputs are product
specifications, team’s knowledge, existent jig saw’s
studies and the control elements are the constraints.
The outputs will be the identification of the
essential problems, the working principles,
conceptual variants and a functional structure. All
these will be managed by our team.
3 DESIGN APPROACHES
The most representative approaches of design
used now are algorithmic (systematic) design
elaborated by Pahl and Beitz (Pahl, 1996) and
axiomatic design elaborated by Nam P. Suh (Suh,
1990).
3.1 Systematic (algorithmic) Approach
Generally, the systematic approach is founded
on the notion that the best way to advancing in
design field is to understand the process by
following the best design practice. Approaches
founded on phase notion are considered algorithmic
(Lonchampt, 2004). In algorithmic approach
(systematic) is tried to identify or prescribe the
design process.
Among design models the most representative
is the model of Pahl and Beitz (1996). This model is
based on a sequential decomposition of design
process, using phase concept. It is based on a design
seen as a hierarchical, sequenced phases, the
predominant logic being the convergence. The
phases are: planning and clarifying the task,
conceptual design phase, embodiment design, and
detail design.
3.2 Axiomatic Approach
The researches about axiomatic design begun
in 1977 initiated by professor Nam P. Suh from
MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and in
the next years he analyzed the axiomatic approach
application into manufacturing systems. Axiomatic
design is characterized through its generality, it can
be applied in all design fields, its rules are the same
and the guidelines on how to make axiomatic design
are given by the design axioms and have four core
concepts: domain, zigzagging and hierarchies,
mapping, axioms.
In initial stages two domains are involved, the
functional domain and the physical domain.
Associated with each domain there are design
elements, the functional requirements (FRs) and
design parameters (DPs) respectively. In addition to
these elements that are specifically associated with
each particular domain, constraints on the design
task can also exist. Constraints are specification of
the characteristics that the design solution must
posses to be acceptable to its customers and to the
company designing it. The design process basically
involves interrelating FRs to DPs. Functional
requirements are defined as the minimum set of
independent requirements that completely
characterize the design objective for a specific need.
As the number of functional requirements increases,
the complexity of the design problem also increases.
The choice of FR depends on the way in which the
designer hopes to satisfy a set of market needs. The
determination of a good set of FR needs expertise,
extensive market study and several iterations. FRs,
basically are the designer’s characterization of the
perceived needs for a product. The design
parameters (DPs) are key variables that characterize
the physical entity created by the design process to

fulfill the FRs. A good designer must have the
ability to choose a minimum number of FR at each
hierarchical level of FR tree. (**)
The designed product or process is described in
design domain, physic domain and process domain
like a design tree with more levels. So, to the
functional requirements belonging to a certain level
from the functional domain there are the
correspondent conception parameters that are on the
same level on the physical domain and further on to
the process parameters from the process domain.
The four domains are interconnected through the
questions: how can the customers be satisfied
(result FR), how to obtain functional requirements
(result DP), how to obtain the design parameters
(result PV). The lower levels from a domain are
constrained by higher levels from next domain thus
it is necessary to go permanently from one domain
to another to detail the design process and obtain it.
FR can be dependent or independent depending on
the chosen parameters (DP). The design can be
uncoupled, coupled, or decoupled in its functional
behavior depending on choice of DP. The degree of
design coupling can be seen in Design matrix which
expresses connection between Dp and FR. There are
basically two axioms that aid in this process:
Independence Axiom and Information Axiom.
The former aims at maintaining the
independence of Functional requirements and the
later aims at minimizing the information content in
the design. Once a set of FRs has been formulated
and possible sets of DPs have been generated, the
two design axioms are used to evaluate the
proposed designs (the design axioms can also be
applied to analyze relationships between DPs and
PVs). (**)
4 CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PHASE FOR THE JIGSAW
For our work in T300_VP, to achieve the
necessary outputs for the conceptual design phase,
we will try to use both approaches mentioned above
aiming to get a good structured and exhaustive
conceptual design phase. In figure 3 is a picture of
the studied object, the jigsaw.
Conceptual design phase’s aim is to get a set of
wide solutions to a design problem, principal
solution that satisfies product’s fundamental
requirements. As a result of this phase we will can
identify essential problems, establish function
structure, search for working principles, combine
and firm up into concept variants, evaluate against
technical and economic criteria.
Figure 3. The Jigsaw
4.1 Functional Analysis
4.1.1 Pieuvre (APTE)
To emphasize the studied object’s functions
(jigsaw’s functions) and their interrelations it can be
used the pieuvre diagram. The connections created
between the product and the elements of its external
environment can be seen graphically. This diagram
is an association diagram; the associations between
the environment elements and studied object are
expressed through functions, as a verb phrase
followed by complements. There are two kinds of
functions: working functions and technical
functions. The working functions are divided into
main and constraint functions. The main functions
justify the system’s existence, and they connect two
elements of the environment through the studied
object. The relations between the environment’s
elements and the study object are constraint
functions.
Working functions has to be achieved through
technical functions. These connect possible
technical solutions and reflect the organization
between more possibilities to obtain the main
functions. Technical functions are intern to product,
they are chosen by the team to provide a working
function. The relations between studied object and
the environment elements are represented in the
diagram drafted in figure 4. The identified functions
are:
A) Main Functions (FP):
FP1: Cutting of metallic materials
B) Constraint functions (C):
C1: Be secure when is used
C2 Easy maneuverability
C3: To be reliable
C4: To assure imposed functioning parameters
C5: To assure chipping removal
C6: Easy recycling

4.1.2 Function Analysis System Technique
A FAST Diagram (Functional Analysis System
Technique) (***) represents a translation of each
working function into technical functions and next
materializes these in constructive solutions. This
kind of diagram is built from left to right governed
by the logic why? How? First, we started to analyze
the existent product, the jigsaw. We know that the
main functionality for our product is to be able to
cut materials. The effective cutting of materials is
materialized through a blade movement. This
movement requires an energy source. We
considered in a first step two main physical
principles that have to be respected and so they can
lead to a set of possible solutions for the product.
The first physical principle is the transformation of
the electrical energy into mechanical energy and the
second physical principle is to transform the
circular uniform motion into alternative
reciprocating motion. Analyzing the possibilities to
realize these principles it will be identified the
solutions that can provide these functions and will
be choused one of them. Next, based on the logic to
make a FAST diagram we imagined a possible
product decomposition taking into account more
possibilities to achieve the functions, presented in
figure 5 at page 22.
4.2 Advantages and disadvantages of the existent or proposed solutions
A) Mechanism for blade clamping
In actual solution the blade is clamped between
two plates using two screws. The advantage is the
constructive simplicity but the
clamping/unclamping action is time consuming
because the area for blade clamping is protected by
a plastic cover that has to be removed, the key
needed for clamping/unclamping can be easy lost
because it is kept on a place on the housing.
B) Reduction gear box unit with one step
The advantage is that is a constructive
simplicity, the space occupied by this mechanism is
reduced but in actual solution a great rotation ratio
on gear stage (i =z2 /z1 = 10), quickly gearing wear.
C) Reduction gear box unit with two steps
It reduces the disadvantages presented at B but
the space occupied is greater.
D) Housing
In actual build it has a lot of ribs and should be
redesigned so that the costs for the injection mould
to be reduced.
E) Angled cutting
The angled cutting is realized using a very
simple constructive solution, inclinable saw base
but the provided angles are only 0, 15, 30 and 45
degrees. For the mechanism needed to transform the
circular uniform motion into alternative
reciprocating motion it were proposed several
variants that will be drafted below.
4.3 Solutions for the mechanism needed to transform the circular uniform motion into alternative reciprocating motion
1. For the actual solution the advantage is that
the mechanism is very easy, stroke length = 2r
(assembling diameter of the driving bolt) at small
size of the crank. The disadvantage is that we have

variable translation speed v=�rsin�(t), a great
rotation ratio on gear stage (i =z2 /z1 = 10), quickly
gearing wear, figure 6.

2. The second’s solution advantage is an easy
guide; the translation speed is more uniform for
eccentric, uniform for Archimedes spiral (cam
curve). The disadvantage is that we have a small
stroke length = rmax - rmin small size of the crank and
if we want a bigger stroke this suppose a big size of
the crank. This is drafted in figure 7.
Figure 7.
3. Advantages of the solution drafted in figure
8 are that is easy guide, more uniform translation
speed for eccentric, uniform for Archimedes spiral
(cam curve). The disadvantage is that it is a more
complex mechanism and the size of the mechanism
is bigger.
Figure 8.
4. Worm gearing and cam
The advantages of this solution, drafted in
figure 9, are: the blade stroke is amplified by
oscillating crank lever, oscillation speed more
uniform for eccentric, uniform for Archimedes
spiral (cam curve), the possibility to take the
alternative movement of the blade actuating roll
from the oscillating crank lever, the time for active
stroke more then time for idle stroke, feed stroke
variable (0,…,m).The disadvantage is that the
mechanism is more complex.

5. The solution using a blade stroke amplified
by oscillating crank lever drafted in figure 10 has as
advantage a greater reducing rotation ratio in the
case of worm-gearing, the possibility to take the
alternative movement of the blade actuating roll
from the oscillating crank lever, time for active
stroke greater then time for idle stroke, feed stroke
variable (0, ..., max)�.The disadvantages are that one
guide more (oscillating crank lever)�, low yield for
worm-gearing, imposition of the rotation direction
for creation of the idle stroke time smaller.

4.4 Searching for new solutions using TRIZ
All the solutions presented above use the
transformation of electrical energy into a linear
reciprocating motion of the blade. We tried to see if
there exists any other ways to obtain the blade
movement, and regarding this problem we used the
“substance field analysis” from TRIZ. (More details
about TRIZ technique can be found in (Choulier
2000, Salamatov). This technique transposed in our
problem can be seen in figure 13. Using the Su-field
analysis and interaction matrix (figure 14) we can
see possible solutions for a periodic action. One of
these solutions could be the using of a linear
permanent magnet oscillatory machines (Tutelea
2008). This kind of machines have grained
momentum in the last decade and could pay an
important role in the direct driving of piston pumps,
compressors etc. A flat surface mover allows for
permanent magnet flux concentration and the
machine core is easy to manufacture from
laminations. The main dimension of the
experimental prototypes are: stroke length: 10 mm,
teeth with: 5 mm, air-gap: 1 mm, permanent magnet
thickness 2 mm, permanent magnet material
NdFEB, numbers of turns/coil 285, Wire diameter
0.45 mm, mover mass 2 kg. The sketch of the
permanent oscillatory machine with buried
permanent magnet flux concentration is shown in
figure 15. The mover is sliding on linear bearings,

the kinetic energy is recovered by two mechanical
springs and the blade will be joint with mover.
The disadvantage of the solution is that the
frequency of mover has to be equal with resonance
frequency of the mechanical spring, the cutting
speed has to be constant and the maximum stroke is
30-40 mm. The main advantages of this solution are
that the chain of converting energy is reduced and
also the size of the motor. Using a pneumatic spring
can be built an oscillatory machine with variable
speed, but the solutions are not experimented yet.

4.5 Axiomatic approach
Taking into account those presented in
previous chapters we drafted based on axiomatic
approach a structure of functional requirements and
design parameters that can provide these
requirements. We considered that each design
parameter satisfies a functional requirement in this
case the design is uncoupled but further we will
analyze in more detail each requirement and design
parameter and we will try to solve the eventual
couplings. Using the ACCLARO DFSS software
we made the decomposition FR-DP, tree diagram
and module-junction diagram. In the future work we
will develop these further. Next we present the FR
and their corresponding DP.
Functional requirements:
F – Cutting of materials
F1– Rising and falling motion (Alternating
movement of the saw blade)
F2 – Feed motion
F3 – Angled cutting
F4 – Chipping removal
F5 – Assure a straight line cutting
F6 – Clamping/unclamping of the blade
F7 – Operator’s security
F11 – Transform circular motion into linear
motion
F12 – Assure the neeed cutting speed
F21- Variable feed on active stroke
F22 – Apply a feed force on the blade
F31 – Slanting to prescribed angles
F32 – Slanting to any desired angle
The corresponding design parameters are:
PC -Jigsaw
PC1 – Electrical motor and reciprocating rod-
crank guideway mechanism
PC2 – Feed lever and shove off roll
PC3 – Swinging base plate
PC4 – Vacuum device
PC5 – Light projected on material for guidance
PC6 – Mechanism for clamping/unclamping the
blade
PC7 – Protection screen
P11 Slide crank mechanism
P12 – Electronically rotative speed variation
P21 – Levers with variable amplification
P22 – Roll in contact with blade

Figure 20. The module-junction diagram for jigsaw
The flow chart and module junction diagram is
a better way of representing system architecture.
The relationship between modules (Ms) are
represented using circled symbols. A module
represents a row in design matrix. The following
circled symbols have been used:
S = simple summation of FRs (uncoupled
design)
C = control junction (DPs and Ms must be
controlled in a sequence (decoupled design)
F = requires feedback and violates the
Independence Axiom (coupled design)
5 COLLABORATIVE WORK
The collaborative work was supported inside
the VRL network through formal presentations done
using Polycom VC material (discussions,
presentations). In our last session it was proposed to
use AREL, software that can be useful to create
interactive design sessions.
During the discussions and presentations it was
presented the assessment of users’ perception of the
jigsaw with respect to their level of use
(professional, occasional user). Regarding the
assessment of users’ perception of the jigsaw the
idea that we have to take into account is the origin
of the vibration (functional analysis) captured by
the users of the jigsaw. That could lead to new
solutions (i.e. new design). Another problem that
has to be solved is how to integrate “user
perception” in order to lead design choices.
In another presentation it were discussed
problems regarding the recycling assessment of the
jigsaw and problems raised by the materials used
for the jigsaw’s components and their possibilities
of recycling. Also it was presented the fact that it is
hard to automatically extract motor after shredding
and in this case we have to think to an easy
accessibility of motor, the PVC of cable not
recyclable, PC is not sortable after shredding and in
this case is preferred the use of ABS or HIPS for
protection hood. Also in actual build, the hood is
mounted with eight screws and it is too costly (long
time) to dismantle the 8 screws. In this case the
suggestions are to decrease number of screws,
prefer snap-fit or to use Shape-Memory Materials
for screws.
It was also discussions on LCA (Lifecycle
Assessment) and the results (SimaPro solution)
provides some indicators to identify which
component has the higher environmental impact
(e.g.: copper).
In other presentation were presented the first
results based on functional and physical modeling
to support CAD using energetic flows interface.
6 CONCLUSIONS
In this paper we presented the work done until
now by our team regarding the functional analysis
of the jigsaw and we provided some design
alternatives regarding the mechanical transmission,
work that is not definitive because this task (project)
is undergoing. In the future work we will develop
further this work and we will try to take into
account all the presentations and discussions that
had or will have place with other participants
regarding this task and use them like guidance for
the conceptual design phase.
