Scope
of Project
|
 |
A
mechanical manipulator
arm, utilizing electric power, was
designed by UC Davis engineering students for a pick and place
operation. The
manipulator picked up the
drum brake from a gravity roller conveyor, oriented, aligned and placed
it on
the axle for a worker to bolt in place. The design was intended to be
used
by a
single operator with the total time of assembly to be approximately one
and a
half minutes. Ultimately,
the aim of
this manipulator arm was to improve ergonomics
of the process, and increase productivity and safety in the assembly of
the brake
drums to the axle. |
