Abstract

This project is a further study to improve the pick and place manipulator trainer to be more accurate on positioning through identifying the problems that had occur on the previous manipulator project. Through the literature review, some idea on the particular part which requires improving are studied. Then, the study on existing hardware is done by identifying problem using calculation and graphical review. The critical parts involved are gripper, rotary table, and dual rod cylinder. In order to overcome the limitation of positioning, the control system is improved by changing and adding the feed back component’s signal to the pneumatic actuator such as sensor, reed switch, and directional valve. On the other hand, the OMRON CPM 2A controller will be use to replace the Keyence KV- 16T. Through this project, theoretical knowledge and practical skill is applied into this manipulator. This project provides a further understanding on software coding and hardware usage.
