Project no.2
Automated Work Cell
Project Role:
-
Project Manager: Led the fabrication of mechanical components and contributed to the electrical circuit design.
Project Summary:
The Automated Work Cell project involved developing a robotic system designed to pick, place, and process parts with precision. The robot, with three degrees of freedom, utilized two pneumatic cylinders for linear motion and a brushless motor for rotational movement. The system included essential features like proximity sensors for position detection, a gravity-fed hopper for part storage, and a simulated pressing process.
Key components of the project included:
-
Mechanical Design: Created a hopper, magazine, and robotic arm with necessary degrees of freedom while ensuring obstacle avoidance within the space constraints.
-
Electrical & Control Systems: Developed and wired the control panel, sensors, actuators, and PLC. The system was programmed to operate in both manual and automatic modes, with integrated safety features such as an emergency stop and light curtain.
Outcome:
Successfully delivered a functional Automated Work Cell, demonstrating expertise in mechanical design, electrical wiring, and system integration. The project emphasized hands-on experience in automation and control systems, aligning with industry standards for safety and efficiency.
