Abstract

Assembly robots are controlled by computers, automated, programmable machines used in manufacturing and other industrial settings. These types of robots carry out desired tasks based on movement routes programmed in the computer. Usually, these robots appeared as a robotic arm mechanism or a set of arms mechanism that perform functions such as welding, cutting, picking, or materials placement along an assembly line. The manufacturing environments involve repetitive tasks, hazardous materials, or unsafe conditions, which are the ideal environments for the assembly robots. In addition, to create the mechanism for a robot, the primary criteria that must be followed for the assembly or other manufacturing robots is using three or more axes on which the robot articulates. Using this three axes, the industrial robots have the ability to manipulate any number of materials and perform any number of movements required to assemble products. These criteria also allow the assembly robots to articulate, not only along a straight line, but through space anywhere within the reach of the end-effector of the robotic arm. The main concept is about designing and developing the robotic arm mechanism with two degrees of freedom for picking and assembling process of small components using pneumatic system that act as an automated assembly trainer with the conveyor process. This project is a basic development and modification of that type of mechanism where the development project will involve a Programmable Logic Control (PLC), a Human Machine Interface (HMI), hardware and software integration as well as system troubleshooting. The robot arm mechanism will rotate 180 degrees (clockwise) and -180 degrees (counter clockwise) to pick the component on the conveyor then, assemble the component to its base on the other conveyor before returning to its initial position.
