Abstract

The introduction, literature review, methodology, results and conclusions for the development of a Material Detecting and Handling Robotics Arm is discussed in this report. Since industries nowadays are facing with a rising cost in labor and workforce, automation plays a big part to increase productivity and still maintain its quality. The machine that will be used as transfer medium in this project is a robot arm where, the main objective is to build, test and run the robot arm as a working machine. From the literature review done, the types of robot arms that are available in the market now have been studied. The types are such as Cartesian, Cylindrical, Spherical, SCARA and Revolute can be used for multiple applications based on the industry‟s needs. A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) will be used in this project that acts as the controller which determines the movements of the robot arm. The movements are gained from the DC motors that will provide motion for the robot arm based on the Degrees of Freedom (D.O.F) required. As for the sensing systems, a limit switch, inductive sensor and capacitive sensor will be placed strategically at the conveyor where it will then trigger the PLC to perform the next process which is, pick and place. Next, the gripper will built according to the size of the material to pick and place it efficiently to complete this project. To ensure the completion of this project, the methodologies have also been discussed here with a relevant flow chart and a ganntt chart. Lastly, as for the preliminary results of this project, the major components have been identified and the literature review has been completed.
