‭A‬‭BSTRACT‬

‭The‬ ‭Robot‬ ‭is‬ ‭a‬ ‭mechanical‬ ‭device‬ ‭that‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭defined‬ ‭as‬ ‭an‬ ‭automatically‬ ‭controlled,‬
‭re-programmable,‬ ‭multipurpose‬ ‭manipulator‬ ‭in‬ ‭three‬ ‭or‬ ‭more‬ ‭axes‬ ‭(in‬ ‭three‬ ‭or‬ ‭more‬ ‭DOF),‬
‭which‬ ‭may‬ ‭be‬ ‭either‬ ‭fixed‬ ‭or‬ ‭portable.‬ ‭Robots‬ ‭are‬ ‭now‬ ‭more‬ ‭than‬ ‭an‬ ‭electro-mechanical‬
‭machine,‬‭as‬‭robots‬‭that‬‭are‬‭controlled‬‭by‬‭a‬‭program‬‭or‬‭circuit‬‭to‬‭become‬‭the‬‭solution‬‭of‬‭the‬‭future‬
‭as‬‭customer’s‬‭demand.‬‭Pick‬‭and‬‭Place‬‭robots‬‭are‬‭widely‬‭used‬‭in‬‭the‬‭manufacturing‬‭industry.‬‭It‬‭is‬
‭equipped‬‭with‬‭an‬‭arduino‬‭uno‬‭(microcontroller)‬‭and‬ ‭joystick‬‭controls‬‭to‬‭control‬‭the‬‭manipulator,‬
‭also‬ ‭it‬ ‭is‬ ‭more‬ ‭accurate‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬ ‭user‬ ‭is‬ ‭able‬ ‭to‬ ‭plan‬ ‭the‬ ‭trajectory‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭robot.‬ ‭The‬
‭implementation‬ ‭of‬ ‭articulated‬‭robots‬‭in‬‭the‬‭industry‬‭indeed‬‭enhances‬‭production,‬‭capability‬‭and‬
‭increases‬ ‭profitability.‬ ‭Robotics‬ ‭and‬ ‭automation‬ ‭is‬ ‭employed‬ ‭in‬ ‭order‬ ‭to‬ ‭replace‬ ‭humans‬ ‭to‬
‭perform‬ ‭those‬ ‭tasks‬ ‭that‬ ‭are‬ ‭routine,‬ ‭dangerous,‬ ‭dull‬ ‭and‬ ‭in‬ ‭a‬ ‭hazardous‬ ‭area.‬ ‭In‬ ‭a‬ ‭world‬ ‭of‬
‭advanced‬ ‭technology.‬ ‭Today‬ ‭automation‬ ‭greatly‬ ‭increases‬ ‭production‬ ‭capability,‬ ‭improves‬
‭product‬ ‭quality‬ ‭and‬‭lower‬‭production‬‭cost.‬‭It‬‭takes‬‭just‬‭a‬‭few‬‭people‬‭to‬‭program‬‭or‬‭monitor‬‭the‬
‭computer and carry out routine maintenance.‬

‭INTRODUCTION‬

1‭ .1‬ ‭INTRODUCTION‬
‭Since‬‭many‬‭years‬‭people‬‭try‬‭to‬‭replace‬‭humans‬‭with‬‭machines‬‭to‬‭perform‬‭those‬‭tasks‬‭which‬‭are‬
‭hazardous.‬‭Machines‬‭called‬‭robots‬‭are‬‭faster‬‭and‬‭more‬‭effective‬‭than‬‭people.‬‭The‬‭term‬‭robotics‬‭is‬
‭practically‬ ‭defined‬ ‭as‬ ‭the‬‭study,‬‭design‬‭and‬‭use‬‭of‬‭robot‬‭systems‬‭for‬‭manufacturing.‬‭Robots‬‭are‬
‭generally‬‭used‬‭to‬‭perform‬‭unsafe,‬‭hazardous,‬‭highly‬‭repetitive,‬‭and‬‭unpleasant‬‭tasks.‬‭They‬‭have‬
‭many‬ ‭different‬ ‭functions‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭material‬ ‭handling,‬ ‭assembly,‬ ‭arc‬ ‭welding,‬ ‭resistance‬ ‭welding‬
‭and‬ ‭machine‬ ‭tool‬ ‭load‬ ‭and‬ ‭unload‬ ‭functions,‬ ‭painting,‬ ‭spraying,‬ ‭etc.‬ ‭Construction‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬
‭manipulator‬ ‭as‬ ‭the‬ ‭arm‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭robot‬ ‭is‬ ‭based‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭human‬ ‭arm.‬ ‭The‬ ‭robot‬ ‭has‬ ‭the‬ ‭ability‬ ‭to‬
‭manipulate‬‭objects‬‭such‬‭as‬‭pick‬‭and‬‭place‬‭operations.‬‭As‬‭one‬‭such‬‭application,‬‭the‬‭service‬‭robot‬
‭with machine vision capability has been developed recently.‬

‭ utomation‬ ‭is‬ ‭playing‬ ‭an‬ ‭important‬ ‭role‬ ‭to‬ ‭save‬ ‭human‬ ‭efforts‬ ‭in‬ ‭most‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭regular‬ ‭and‬
A
‭frequently‬‭carried‬‭works.‬‭One‬‭of‬‭the‬‭major‬‭and‬‭most‬‭commonly‬‭performed‬‭works‬‭is‬‭picking‬‭and‬
‭placing‬ ‭of‬ ‭jobs‬ ‭from‬ ‭source‬ ‭to‬ ‭destination.‬ ‭The‬ ‭pick‬ ‭and‬ ‭place‬ ‭mechanical‬ ‭arm‬ ‭is‬ ‭a‬ ‭human‬
‭controlled‬‭based‬‭system‬‭that‬‭detects‬‭the‬‭object,‬‭picks‬‭that‬‭object‬‭from‬‭source‬‭location‬‭and‬‭places‬
‭it‬ ‭at‬ ‭desired‬ ‭location.‬ ‭For‬ ‭detection‬ ‭of‬ ‭an‬ ‭object,‬ ‭User‬ ‭detects‬ ‭the‬ ‭presence‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭object‬ ‭and‬
‭positions the robot accordingly.‬

‭1.2‬ ‭BACKGROUND OF INDUSTRY‬

‭ oday‬ ‭in‬ ‭this‬ ‭world‬ ‭every‬ ‭task‬ ‭has‬ ‭been‬ ‭made‬ ‭quicker‬ ‭and‬ ‭faster‬ ‭due‬ ‭to‬ ‭technological‬
T
‭advancement‬ ‭but‬ ‭this‬ ‭advancement‬ ‭also‬ ‭demands‬ ‭huge‬ ‭investments‬ ‭and‬ ‭expenditure,‬ ‭every‬
‭industry‬ ‭desires‬ ‭to‬ ‭make‬ ‭high‬ ‭productivity‬ ‭rate‬ ‭maintaining‬ ‭the‬ ‭quality‬ ‭and‬ ‭standard‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬

‭2.3‬ ‭HISTORY OF ROBOTS‬

‭ obots have a rich history that spans ancient mythology to the modern age of advanced‬
R
‭technology. The concept of artificial beings, or automatons, dates back to ancient civilizations‬
‭with tales of mechanical creations by skilled artisans. In the 20th century, the term “robot” was‬
‭popularized by the play “R.U.R.” by Karel Čapek in 1920. This Czech word “robota,” meaning‬
‭forced labor, gave birth to the modern understanding of robots as automated machines. The first‬
‭industrial robot, the Unimate, was developed in the 1950s by George Devol and Joseph‬
‭Engelberger for General Motors. Since then, robotics has evolved rapidly. In the 1960s and‬
‭1970s, robots began to perceive their environment and make decisions, leading to more‬
‭autonomous systems. Advancements in AI and machine learning in the 21st century have made‬
‭robots smarter and more adaptive. Today, robots are integral to industries like manufacturing,‬
‭healthcare, and space exploration. They range from large industrial arms to small drones and‬
‭even humanoid robots capable of human-like interactions. The history of robots reflects‬
‭humanity’s fascination with automation, innovation, and the desire to create machines that can‬
‭assist us in various tasks, from the mundane to the extraordinary.‬

‭Servo Motors‬
‭ ervo motors are electromechanical devices used for precise control of angular or linear position,‬
S
‭velocity, and acceleration. They operate on the principle of feedback control, where an input signal is‬
‭compared to the actual position or velocity of the motor, and adjustments are made to minimize the error.‬
‭Construction and Operation:‬
‭ tator and Rotor: Servo motors consist of a stationary stator and a rotating rotor. The stator‬
S
‭contains coils of wire that generate a magnetic field when current flows through them, while the‬
‭rotor is connected to the output shaft.‬
‭Feedback Device: Servo motors are equipped with a feedback device, such as an encoder or‬
‭resolver, which provides information about the motor's actual position or velocity.‬
‭Control System: Servo motors are controlled by a feedback loop system comprising a controller,‬
‭amplifier, and feedback sensor. The controller compares the desired position or velocity with the‬
‭actual position or velocity and generates an error signal. This error signal is amplified and‬
‭converted into a control signal that adjusts the motor's output to minimize the error.‬

‭A‬‭servo‬‭horn‬‭is‬‭a‬‭mechanical‬‭component‬‭attached‬‭to‬‭the‬‭output‬‭shaft‬‭of‬‭a‬‭servo‬‭motor.‬‭Its‬
‭primary‬ ‭function‬ ‭is‬ ‭to‬‭transmit‬‭motion‬‭and‬‭torque‬‭from‬‭the‬‭servo‬‭motor‬‭to‬‭the‬‭connected‬
‭mechanism or load.‬

‭ onstruction:‬
C
‭Material:‬‭Servo‬‭horns‬‭are‬‭commonly‬‭made‬‭from‬‭lightweight‬‭and‬‭durable‬‭materials‬‭such‬‭as‬
‭plastic‬ ‭or‬ ‭metal.‬ ‭The‬ ‭choice‬‭of‬‭material‬‭depends‬‭on‬‭factors‬‭such‬‭as‬‭the‬‭application's‬‭load‬
‭requirements and environmental conditions.‬
‭Shape‬ ‭and‬ ‭Size:‬ ‭Servo‬‭horns‬‭come‬‭in‬‭various‬‭shapes‬‭and‬‭sizes‬‭to‬‭accommodate‬‭different‬
‭mounting‬ ‭configurations‬ ‭and‬ ‭attachment‬ ‭methods.‬ ‭They‬ ‭may‬ ‭have‬ ‭multiple‬ ‭arms‬ ‭or‬
‭extensions to provide versatility in connecting to different linkages or mechanisms.‬

‭ peration:‬
O
‭Attachment:‬ ‭The‬ ‭servo‬ ‭horn‬ ‭is‬ ‭securely‬ ‭fastened‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭output‬ ‭shaft‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭servo‬ ‭motor‬
‭using‬‭screws‬‭or‬‭other‬‭fastening‬‭mechanisms.‬‭This‬‭ensures‬‭a‬‭rigid‬‭connection‬‭between‬‭the‬
‭servo motor and the attached load.‬

‭As‬‭the‬‭servo‬‭motor‬‭rotates‬‭its‬‭output‬‭shaft,‬‭the‬‭servo‬‭horn‬‭rotates‬‭accordingly,‬‭transmitting‬
‭motion‬‭and‬‭torque‬‭to‬‭the‬‭connected‬‭mechanism‬‭or‬‭linkage.‬‭The‬‭shape‬‭and‬‭configuration‬‭of‬
‭the‬ ‭servo‬ ‭horn‬ ‭determine‬ ‭the‬ ‭range‬ ‭of‬ ‭motion‬‭and‬‭mechanical‬‭advantage‬‭provided‬‭to‬‭the‬
‭attached load.‬

‭ ariations:‬
V
‭Standard‬‭vs.‬‭Custom:‬‭While‬‭standard‬‭servo‬‭horns‬‭are‬‭commonly‬‭provided‬‭by‬‭servo‬‭motor‬
‭manufacturers,‬ ‭custom‬ ‭servo‬ ‭horns‬ ‭can‬ ‭also‬ ‭be‬ ‭designed‬ ‭and‬ ‭manufactured‬ ‭to‬ ‭meet‬
‭specific application requirements, such as unique mounting arrangements or load profiles.‬
‭Material‬ ‭and‬ ‭Strength:‬ ‭The‬ ‭choice‬ ‭of‬ ‭material‬ ‭and‬ ‭design‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭servo‬ ‭horn‬ ‭may‬ ‭vary‬
‭depending‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭application's‬ ‭demands,‬ ‭with‬ ‭some‬ ‭applications‬ ‭requiring‬ ‭high-strength‬
‭metal horns for heavy loads or high-speed operation.‬

‭ pplication:‬
A

‭robotic‬ ‭arms,‬ ‭and‬ ‭controlling‬‭various‬‭mechanical‬‭movements.‬‭They‬‭play‬‭a‬‭crucial‬‭role‬‭in‬
‭translating‬ ‭the‬ ‭rotational‬ ‭motion‬ ‭of‬‭servo‬‭motors‬‭into‬‭specific‬‭actions‬‭or‬‭tasks‬‭performed‬
‭by robotic systems.‬
‭RC‬‭Vehicles:‬‭In‬‭remote-controlled‬‭vehicles‬‭such‬‭as‬‭cars,‬‭airplanes,‬‭and‬‭boats,‬‭servo‬‭horns‬
‭are‬ ‭used‬ ‭to‬ ‭control‬ ‭steering‬ ‭mechanisms,‬ ‭throttle‬ ‭settings,‬ ‭and‬ ‭other‬ ‭functions.‬ ‭They‬
‭provide‬ ‭precise‬ ‭control‬ ‭over‬ ‭vehicle‬‭movement‬‭and‬‭operation,‬‭contributing‬‭to‬‭the‬‭overall‬
‭performance and maneuverability of the vehicle.‬

‭DESIGN AND CALCULATIONS‬

‭4.1‬ ‭INTRODUCTION‬

‭ hen‬‭it‬‭comes‬‭to‬‭designing‬‭any‬‭model,‬‭first‬‭we‬‭need‬‭to‬‭visualize‬‭how‬‭the‬‭model‬‭will‬‭look.‬‭After‬
W
‭visualizing,‬‭We‬‭need‬‭to‬‭think‬‭of‬‭which‬‭manufacturing‬‭process‬‭to‬‭use‬‭and‬‭lastly‬‭need‬‭to‬‭think‬‭of‬
‭how to make assembly of components easier.‬
‭Therefore,‬ ‭Design‬ ‭for‬ ‭Manufacturing‬ ‭(DFM)‬ ‭and‬ ‭Design‬ ‭for‬ ‭Assembly‬ ‭(DFA)‬ ‭terms‬ ‭come‬
‭into place. The designer should know how to use these terms to design a Prototype.‬
‭To‬‭design‬‭an‬‭Articulated‬‭Robot,‬‭We‬‭need‬‭to‬‭first‬‭decide‬‭the‬‭Work‬‭Envelope‬‭/‬‭Work‬‭Volume‬‭of‬
‭the‬ ‭robot.‬ ‭So‬ ‭the‬ ‭working‬‭area‬‭of‬‭the‬‭robot‬‭is‬‭in‬‭the‬‭shape‬‭of‬‭spherical.‬‭As‬‭it‬‭is‬‭a‬‭prototype‬‭the‬
‭maximum reach we have considered is 450mm.‬

‭ he purpose of this research is to design a small industrial robot arm for learning needs. The‬
T
‭main contribution of this project is to learn and develop a simple design for a robot arm that can‬
‭be used to study the behavior and tasks of a robot on a small scale. The robot arm was designed‬
‭using Solidworks software and then realized using 3D printing and Sheet Metal process. The‬
‭robot is designed using low-cost parts, such as SG servo motors, Arduino microcontrollers and‬
‭joysticks controllers.‬
‭Before coming to the final design, we performed‬‭FEA‬‭(Finite Element analysis)‬‭on each and‬
‭every component.‬

‭4.41‬ ‭GRIPPER - FORCE CALCULATION‬

‭Gripping force should be 5 to 10 times of the mass of an object.‬


‭F = 10 x(0.02kg x 9.81)‬

T
‭At the extreme state, the object it can grasp is around 50 grams‬
‭F = 10 x (0.05kg x 9.81)‬
‭F = 4.905 N‬

‭So for Torque - T0 = F x Radius‬


‭= 4.905 x 0.04‬
‭T0 = 0.196 Nm‬

‭MANUFACTURING PROCESSES‬

5‭ .1‬ ‭INTRODUCTION‬
‭Manufacturing‬ ‭processes‬ ‭encompass‬ ‭a‬ ‭diverse‬ ‭range‬ ‭of‬ ‭methods‬ ‭and‬ ‭techniques‬ ‭used‬ ‭to‬
‭transform‬ ‭raw‬ ‭materials‬ ‭into‬ ‭finished‬ ‭products.‬ ‭From‬ ‭ancient‬ ‭artisanal‬ ‭crafts‬ ‭to‬ ‭modern‬
‭industrial‬ ‭technologies,‬ ‭manufacturing‬ ‭processes‬ ‭have‬ ‭played‬‭a‬‭central‬‭role‬‭in‬‭shaping‬‭human‬
‭civilization‬ ‭and‬ ‭driving‬ ‭economic‬ ‭development.‬ ‭In‬ ‭this‬ ‭introduction,‬ ‭we‬ ‭will‬ ‭explore‬ ‭the‬
‭fundamental‬ ‭concepts,‬ ‭key‬ ‭principles,‬ ‭and‬ ‭significance‬ ‭of‬ ‭manufacturing‬ ‭processes‬ ‭in‬‭today's‬
‭world.‬
‭At‬‭its‬‭core,‬‭manufacturing‬‭involves‬‭the‬‭conversion‬‭of‬‭raw‬‭materials‬‭or‬‭components‬‭into‬‭tangible‬
‭goods‬ ‭through‬ ‭a‬ ‭series‬ ‭of‬ ‭systematic‬ ‭steps.‬ ‭These‬ ‭steps‬ ‭may‬ ‭include‬ ‭material‬ ‭preparation,‬
‭shaping,‬‭joining,‬‭finishing,‬‭and‬‭quality‬‭control,‬‭each‬‭performed‬‭with‬‭precision‬‭and‬‭efficiency‬‭to‬
‭meet‬ ‭specific‬ ‭design‬ ‭requirements‬ ‭and‬ ‭standards.‬ ‭Whether‬ ‭producing‬ ‭consumer‬ ‭goods,‬
‭industrial‬ ‭machinery,‬ ‭or‬ ‭advanced‬ ‭electronic‬ ‭devices,‬ ‭manufacturers‬ ‭rely‬‭on‬‭a‬‭combination‬‭of‬
‭traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technologies to achieve their production goals.‬

‭The Manufacturing Processes used may be categorized in 2 types :-‬

5‭ .2‬ ‭LASER CUTTING MACHINE‬


‭Laser‬ ‭cutting‬ ‭machines‬ ‭are‬ ‭precision‬ ‭tools‬ ‭used‬ ‭to‬ ‭cut,‬ ‭engrave,‬ ‭or‬ ‭mark‬ ‭materials‬ ‭with‬ ‭a‬
‭high-powered‬ ‭laser‬ ‭beam.‬ ‭They‬ ‭offer‬ ‭versatility,‬ ‭speed,‬ ‭and‬ ‭accuracy‬ ‭in‬ ‭fabricating‬ ‭a‬ ‭wide‬
‭range of materials, including metals, plastics, wood, glass, and composites.‬
‭These‬ ‭machines‬‭typically‬‭consist‬‭of‬‭a‬‭laser‬‭source,‬‭focusing‬‭optics,‬‭and‬‭a‬‭computer-controlled‬
‭gantry‬ ‭system.‬ ‭The‬‭laser‬‭source‬‭emits‬‭a‬‭concentrated‬‭beam‬‭of‬‭light,‬‭which‬‭is‬‭directed‬‭through‬
‭the‬ ‭focusing‬ ‭optics‬ ‭to‬ ‭achieve‬ ‭a‬ ‭small‬ ‭spot‬ ‭size‬ ‭and‬ ‭high‬ ‭energy‬ ‭density‬ ‭at‬ ‭the‬ ‭material's‬
‭surface.‬ ‭The‬ ‭computer-controlled‬ ‭gantry‬ ‭system‬ ‭precisely‬ ‭moves‬ ‭the‬ ‭laser‬ ‭beam‬ ‭across‬ ‭the‬
‭material, following the desired cutting path defined by a digital design file.‬

‭ aser‬‭cutting‬‭machines‬‭can‬‭produce‬‭intricate‬‭shapes,‬‭sharp‬‭edges,‬‭and‬‭fine‬‭details‬‭with‬‭minimal‬
L
‭material‬ ‭wastage.‬ ‭They‬ ‭are‬ ‭widely‬ ‭used‬ ‭in‬ ‭various‬ ‭industries,‬ ‭including‬ ‭manufacturing,‬
‭automotive,‬ ‭aerospace,‬ ‭electronics,‬ ‭signage,‬ ‭and‬ ‭jewelry‬ ‭making.‬ ‭Applications‬ ‭range‬ ‭from‬
‭cutting‬ ‭sheet‬ ‭metal‬ ‭for‬‭fabrication‬‭and‬‭prototyping‬‭to‬‭engraving‬‭designs‬‭on‬‭promotional‬‭items‬
‭and creating intricate patterns in architectural elements.‬
‭Different‬‭types‬‭of‬‭lasers,‬‭such‬‭as‬‭CO2‬‭lasers‬‭and‬‭fiber‬‭lasers,‬‭are‬‭used‬‭in‬‭laser‬‭cutting‬‭machines,‬
‭each‬ ‭offering‬ ‭unique‬ ‭advantages‬ ‭in‬ ‭terms‬ ‭of‬ ‭power,‬ ‭speed,‬ ‭and‬ ‭material‬ ‭compatibility.‬ ‭CO2‬
‭lasers‬‭are‬‭well-suited‬‭for‬‭cutting‬‭non-metal‬‭materials‬‭like‬‭wood,‬‭acrylic,‬‭and‬‭paper,‬‭while‬‭fiber‬
‭lasers excel in cutting metals such as steel, aluminum, and brass‬

‭5.3‬ ‭PUNCHING MACHINE‬

‭ unching‬‭machines‬‭are‬‭mechanical‬‭or‬‭hydraulic‬‭tools‬‭used‬‭to‬‭create‬‭holes,‬‭notches,‬‭or‬‭shapes‬‭in‬
P
‭sheet‬ ‭metal‬ ‭and‬ ‭other‬ ‭materials.‬ ‭These‬ ‭machines‬ ‭utilize‬ ‭a‬ ‭punch‬ ‭and‬ ‭die‬ ‭set‬ ‭to‬ ‭deform‬ ‭the‬
‭material through shearing or stamping processes.‬
‭In‬ ‭operation,‬ ‭the‬‭material‬‭is‬‭placed‬‭between‬‭the‬‭punch‬‭and‬‭die,‬‭and‬‭a‬‭mechanical‬‭or‬‭hydraulic‬
‭force‬‭is‬‭applied‬‭to‬‭the‬‭punch,‬‭forcing‬‭it‬‭through‬‭the‬‭material‬‭and‬‭into‬‭the‬‭die.‬‭This‬‭action‬‭creates‬
‭a clean-cut hole or shape in the material, with the shape of the die determining the final form.‬
‭Punching‬ ‭machines‬ ‭are‬ ‭available‬ ‭in‬ ‭various‬ ‭configurations,‬ ‭including‬ ‭mechanical,‬ ‭hydraulic,‬
‭and‬‭CNC-controlled‬‭models.‬‭Mechanical‬‭punching‬‭machines‬‭rely‬‭on‬‭mechanical‬‭power,‬‭such‬‭as‬
‭a‬‭flywheel‬‭or‬‭crankshaft,‬‭to‬‭deliver‬‭the‬‭punching‬‭force,‬‭while‬‭hydraulic‬‭punching‬‭machines‬‭use‬
‭hydraulic pressure to generate the required force.‬
‭CNC-controlled‬ ‭punching‬ ‭machines‬ ‭offer‬ ‭advanced‬ ‭capabilities,‬ ‭allowing‬ ‭for‬ ‭precise‬ ‭control‬
‭over‬ ‭the‬ ‭punching‬ ‭process‬ ‭and‬ ‭automation‬ ‭of‬ ‭complex‬ ‭punching‬ ‭operations.‬ ‭These‬ ‭machines‬
‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭programmed‬ ‭to‬ ‭punch‬ ‭multiple‬ ‭holes,‬ ‭shapes,‬ ‭or‬ ‭patterns‬ ‭in‬ ‭a‬ ‭single‬ ‭operation,‬
‭increasing efficiency and productivity.‬
‭Punching‬ ‭machines‬ ‭are‬ ‭widely‬ ‭used‬ ‭in‬ ‭industries‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭metal‬ ‭fabrication,‬ ‭automotive‬
‭manufacturing,‬ ‭aerospace,‬ ‭and‬ ‭construction.‬ ‭They‬ ‭are‬ ‭versatile‬ ‭tools‬ ‭capable‬ ‭of‬ ‭punching‬ ‭a‬
‭wide‬ ‭range‬‭of‬‭materials,‬‭including‬‭steel,‬‭aluminum,‬‭copper,‬‭and‬‭plastic,‬‭in‬‭various‬‭thicknesses‬
‭and sizes.‬

‭5.4‬ ‭BENDING MACHINE‬

‭ hydraulic bending machine, also known as a press brake, is a specialized tool used to bend‬
A
‭sheet metal and other materials into desired shapes and angles. It operates by applying hydraulic‬
‭force to a bending die, which compresses the material between the die and a stationary bed or‬
‭backgauge.‬
‭The hydraulic bending machine consists of several key components, including a hydraulic‬
‭system, a bending beam or ram, a bending die, and a backgauge. The hydraulic system generates‬
‭the force needed to bend the material, while the bending beam or ram applies this force to the‬
‭bending die, causing the material to deform.‬
‭Hydraulic bending machines offer several advantages over mechanical bending machines,‬
‭including greater bending capacity, precision, and control. The hydraulic system allows for‬
‭variable force and speed adjustments, enabling operators to achieve precise bending angles and‬
‭shapes with minimal distortion or springback.‬
‭These machines are used in various industries, including metal fabrication, automotive‬
‭manufacturing, aerospace, and construction, for bending sheet metal components such as‬
‭brackets, panels, enclosures, and chassis.‬
‭Hydraulic bending machines come in different sizes and configurations to accommodate various‬
‭bending requirements, from small, manually operated machines for light-duty applications to‬
‭large, CNC-controlled machines for high-volume production and complex shapes‬

5‭ .5‬ ‭3D Printing‬


‭3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is an innovative process that builds‬
‭three-dimensional objects layer by layer from digital design files. Unlike traditional subtractive‬
‭manufacturing methods, which involve removing material from a solid block to create a part, 3D‬
‭printing adds material layer by layer to form the desired shape.‬
‭The process begins with the creation of a digital 3D model using computer-aided design (CAD)‬
‭software or by scanning an existing object using 3D scanning technology. The digital model is‬
‭then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers, which serve as the instructions for the 3D printer.‬
‭During printing, the printer deposits material, such as plastic filament, resin, metal powder, or‬
‭ceramic powder, layer by layer according to the sliced design. Each layer fuses with the previous‬
‭one, gradually building up the object from the bottom up. Depending on the printing technology‬
‭used, the material may be melted, cured, or sintered to form solid layers.‬
‭3D printing offers several advantages over traditional manufacturing methods, including:‬
‭●‬ ‭Design Flexibility: 3D printing allows for the creation of complex geometries and‬
‭intricate designs that are difficult or impossible to produce with traditional methods.‬
‭●‬ ‭Rapid Prototyping: 3D printing enables quick and cost-effective prototyping, allowing‬
‭designers and engineers to iterate designs rapidly and test concepts before mass‬
‭production.‬
‭●‬ ‭Customization: 3D printing enables customization on a mass scale, as each printed object‬
‭can be tailored to individual specifications without the need for additional tooling or‬
‭setup.‬
‭●‬ ‭Reduced Waste: Unlike subtractive manufacturing, which generates significant waste‬
‭material, 3D printing only uses the material necessary to create the object, minimizing‬
‭waste and environmental impact.‬
‭●‬ ‭On-Demand Production: With 3D printing, parts can be produced on demand, eliminating‬
‭the need for large inventories and reducing lead times for production‬

‭●‬ T ‭ he‬ ‭prototype‬ ‭of‬ ‭Articulated‬ ‭Robot‬ ‭is‬ ‭powered‬ ‭using‬ ‭electric‬ ‭servo‬ ‭motors‬ ‭,‬‭which‬‭are‬
‭controlled by an Arduino Uno with the help of the Joystick‬
‭●‬ ‭The‬ ‭robot‬ ‭consists‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭total‬ ‭of‬ ‭5‬ ‭servo‬ ‭motors‬ ‭,‬ ‭ranging‬ ‭from‬ ‭torque‬ ‭of‬ ‭30kg-cm‬ ‭to‬
‭1.6kg-cm, also each joystick used is made up of 2 potentiometers and a push button.‬
‭●‬ ‭Hence‬ ‭,‬ ‭we‬ ‭are‬ ‭able‬ ‭to‬ ‭control‬ ‭the‬ ‭rotation‬ ‭of‬ ‭2‬ ‭motors‬ ‭simultaneously‬ ‭using‬ ‭a‬ ‭single‬
‭joystick by moving it in X+/X- and Y+/Y- axis .‬

‭The actual working is as follows :-‬


‭●‬ ‭Initialization:‬ ‭Upon‬ ‭powering‬ ‭up,‬ ‭the‬ ‭Arduino‬ ‭initializes‬ ‭the‬ ‭system,‬ ‭setting‬ ‭up‬
‭communication with the joysticks and servo motors.‬
‭●‬ ‭Joystick‬ ‭Input:‬ ‭The‬ ‭user‬ ‭interacts‬ ‭with‬ ‭the‬ ‭joysticks‬ ‭to‬ ‭provide‬ ‭input.‬ ‭Each‬ ‭joystick‬
‭controls the movement of a specific set of links.‬
‭●‬ ‭Signal‬ ‭Processing:‬ ‭Arduino‬ ‭continuously‬ ‭reads‬ ‭the‬ ‭analog‬ ‭or‬ ‭digital‬ ‭signals‬ ‭from‬ ‭the‬
‭joysticks, translating them into movement commands for the servo motors.‬
‭●‬ ‭Servo‬ ‭Control:‬ ‭Based‬ ‭on‬ ‭the‬ ‭input‬ ‭received‬ ‭from‬ ‭the‬ ‭joysticks,‬ ‭Arduino‬ ‭calculates‬ ‭the‬
‭appropriate angle for each servo motor to move its corresponding link.‬
‭●‬ ‭Link‬ ‭Movement:‬ ‭Servo‬ ‭motors‬ ‭receive‬ ‭signals‬ ‭from‬ ‭Arduino‬ ‭and‬ ‭adjust‬ ‭their‬ ‭positions‬
‭accordingly, causing the linked components to move as desired.‬
‭●‬ ‭Feedback‬ ‭Loop:‬ ‭The‬ ‭system‬ ‭can‬ ‭incorporate‬ ‭feedback‬ ‭mechanisms‬ ‭to‬ ‭ensure‬ ‭accurate‬
‭positioning of the links, adjusting servo motor positions based on sensor readings‬
‭●‬ ‭User‬ ‭Interaction:‬ ‭Users‬ ‭can‬ ‭observe‬ ‭the‬ ‭movement‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭links‬ ‭in‬ ‭real-time,‬ ‭adjusting‬
‭joystick inputs as needed to achieve the desired configuration.‬

‭LEARNING FROM FAILURE‬


7‭ .1‬ ‭INTRODUCTION‬
‭Our project aimed to develop two models of grippers for specific applications. In the first‬
‭attempt, we encountered failures primarily due to oversight in considering the limitations of the‬
‭3D printing process and neglecting crucial design considerations such as wall thickness, hole‬
‭diameter, and clearance. Despite addressing these issues in the second iteration, challenges‬
‭persisted due to insufficient clearance between mating parts and the high contraction rate of the‬
‭materials used in 3D printing.‬

7‭ .2‬ ‭FIRST ATTEMPT‬


‭Design Flaws:‬‭The initial gripper model suffered from‬‭design flaws stemming from inadequate‬
‭consideration of 3D printing constraints. Insufficient wall thickness and inaccurate hole‬
‭diameters compromised the structural integrity and functionality of the gripper.‬
‭Lessons Learned:‬‭This failure highlighted the importance‬‭of thoroughly understanding the‬
‭capabilities and limitations of the manufacturing process. It underscored the need for meticulous‬
‭attention to detail in design, including factors like material properties, dimensional accuracy, and‬
‭assembly requirements.‬

7‭ .3‬ ‭SECOND ATTEMPT‬


‭Addressing Design Considerations:‬‭In the second iteration,‬‭we incorporated lessons from the‬
‭previous failure by meticulously addressing design considerations. We ensured appropriate wall‬
‭thickness, optimized hole diameters, and provided adequate clearance between mating parts to‬
‭accommodate for material contraction during printing.‬
‭Challenges Persist:‬‭Despite these improvements, challenges‬‭arose due to unforeseen factors such‬
‭as the high contraction rate of the chosen material. Insufficient clearance between mating parts‬
‭led to interference and failure of the gripper mechanism during operation.‬
‭Continuous Improvement:‬‭While the second attempt did‬‭not meet expectations, it emphasized the‬
‭iterative nature of the design process. Each failure presents an opportunity for learning and‬
‭refinement, guiding future iterations towards success.‬

‭43‬
‭Dr. Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University, Pune, India‬

7‭ .4‬ ‭KEY TAKEAWAYS‬


‭Understanding Manufacturing Constraints:‬‭Thoroughly‬‭understanding the capabilities and‬
‭limitations of the manufacturing process is crucial for successful design implementation.‬
‭Attention to Detail:‬‭Meticulous attention to design‬‭considerations such as wall thickness, hole‬
‭diameter, and clearance is essential to ensure functionality and structural integrity.‬
‭Iterative Approach:‬‭Embracing failure as a part of‬‭the design process allows for continuous‬
‭learning and improvement, ultimately leading to more robust and effective solutions.‬

7‭ .5‬ ‭CONCLUSION‬
‭The journey of developing gripper models underscored the importance of learning from failure‬
‭and adopting an iterative approach to design. While challenges persisted, each setback provided‬
‭valuable insights that informed subsequent iterations. By incorporating these lessons and‬
‭continuously refining our design process, we move closer towards achieving our goal of‬
‭developing a reliable and functional gripper for our intended applications.‬

7‭ .6‬ ‭FINAL AND THIRD ATTEMPT (SUCCESSFUL)‬


‭After‬ ‭overcoming‬ ‭challenges‬ ‭and‬ ‭learning‬ ‭from‬ ‭previous‬ ‭attempts,‬ ‭our‬ ‭team‬ ‭successfully‬
‭developed‬ ‭an‬ ‭angular‬ ‭gripper‬ ‭using‬ ‭3D‬ ‭printing‬ ‭technology.‬ ‭This‬ ‭achievement‬ ‭marks‬ ‭a‬
‭significant‬ ‭milestone‬ ‭in‬ ‭our‬ ‭project,‬ ‭demonstrating‬ ‭the‬ ‭effectiveness‬‭of‬‭iterative‬‭design‬‭and‬‭the‬
‭application of 3D printing for functional prototypes.‬

7‭ .7‬ ‭DESIGN PROCESS‬


‭Conceptualization‬‭:‬ ‭The‬ ‭journey‬ ‭towards‬ ‭creating‬ ‭the‬ ‭angular‬ ‭gripper‬ ‭began‬ ‭with‬ ‭a‬ ‭thorough‬
‭analysis‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭requirements‬ ‭and‬ ‭constraints.‬ ‭We‬ ‭conceptualized‬ ‭a‬ ‭design‬ ‭that‬ ‭prioritized‬
‭functionality, manufacturability, and ease of assembly.‬
‭Iterative‬ ‭Design:‬ ‭Drawing‬ ‭from‬ ‭past‬ ‭experiences,‬ ‭we‬ ‭meticulously‬ ‭refined‬ ‭the‬ ‭design,‬ ‭paying‬
‭close‬ ‭attention‬ ‭to‬ ‭factors‬ ‭such‬ ‭as‬ ‭wall‬ ‭thickness,‬ ‭hole‬ ‭diameter,‬ ‭and‬ ‭clearance‬ ‭between‬‭mating‬
‭parts.‬ ‭Iterative‬ ‭prototyping‬ ‭allowed‬ ‭us‬ ‭to‬ ‭validate‬ ‭the‬‭design‬‭at‬‭each‬‭stage‬‭and‬‭make‬‭necessary‬
‭adjustments.‬

7‭ .8‬ ‭IMPLEMENTATION‬
‭Material‬ ‭Selection‬‭:‬ ‭Choosing‬ ‭the‬ ‭right‬ ‭material‬ ‭was‬ ‭critical‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭success‬ ‭of‬ ‭our‬ ‭project.‬ ‭We‬
‭selected‬‭a‬‭3D‬‭printing‬‭filament‬‭PLA‬‭known‬‭for‬‭its‬‭strength,‬‭durability,‬‭and‬‭dimensional‬‭stability,‬
‭ensuring that the gripper would withstand operational stresses.‬
‭Printing‬‭Process:‬‭Leveraging‬‭the‬‭capabilities‬‭of‬‭3D‬‭printing‬‭technology,‬‭we‬‭translated‬‭our‬‭digital‬
‭design‬ ‭into‬ ‭physical‬ ‭reality.‬ ‭The‬ ‭additive‬ ‭manufacturing‬ ‭process‬‭enabled‬‭precise‬‭layer-by-layer‬
‭deposition of material, resulting in the accurate reproduction of our design.‬
‭Assembly‬ ‭and‬ ‭Testing:‬ ‭With‬ ‭the‬ ‭printed‬ ‭components‬ ‭in‬ ‭hand,‬ ‭we‬ ‭meticulously‬ ‭assembled‬ ‭the‬
‭angular‬ ‭gripper,‬ ‭ensuring‬ ‭proper‬ ‭alignment‬ ‭and‬ ‭functionality.‬ ‭Rigorous‬ ‭testing‬ ‭validated‬ ‭its‬
‭performance across a range of operational scenarios.‬

‭FUTURE SCOPE‬
‭●‬ ‭It‬‭is‬‭anticipated‬‭that‬‭robotic‬‭arms‬‭would‬‭see‬‭rapid‬‭expansion‬‭in‬‭a‬‭large‬‭number‬‭of‬‭sectors,‬
i‭ncluding‬‭healthcare,‬‭manufacturing,‬‭and‬‭packaging.‬‭In‬‭order‬‭to‬‭improve‬‭productivity‬‭and‬
‭cut‬ ‭costs,‬ ‭they‬ ‭will‬ ‭be‬ ‭incorporated‬ ‭into‬ ‭manufacturing‬ ‭lines‬ ‭and‬ ‭utilized‬ ‭for‬ ‭jobs‬ ‭like‬
‭welding, painting, assembling, and material handling.‬

‭●‬ ‭Robotic‬ ‭arms‬ ‭are‬ ‭being‬ ‭used‬ ‭in‬ ‭space‬ ‭exploration,‬ ‭robotic‬ ‭surgical‬ ‭systems,‬ ‭assistive‬
t‭echnology,‬ ‭and‬ ‭service‬ ‭and‬ ‭hospitality‬ ‭industries.‬ ‭They‬ ‭are‬ ‭becoming‬ ‭more‬ ‭and‬ ‭more‬
‭common‬ ‭in‬ ‭space‬ ‭missions,‬ ‭surgeries,‬ ‭and‬ ‭helping‬ ‭people‬ ‭with‬ ‭impairments.‬ ‭They‬‭also‬
‭increase productivity and lower labor expenses in hotels and restaurants.‬

‭●‬ ‭Agriculture,‬ ‭consumer‬ ‭electronics,‬ ‭education,‬ ‭personal‬ ‭help,‬ ‭and‬ ‭military‬ ‭and‬ ‭defense‬
a‭ pplications‬ ‭are‬ ‭all‬ ‭undergoing‬ ‭revolutionary‬ ‭changes‬ ‭thanks‬ ‭to‬ ‭robotic‬‭arms.‬‭They‬‭can‬
‭help‬ ‭with‬ ‭cleaning,‬‭cooking,‬‭and‬‭organizing‬‭in‬‭addition‬‭to‬‭carrying‬‭out‬‭jobs‬‭like‬‭sowing‬
‭seeds,‬ ‭putting‬ ‭fertilizer‬ ‭on‬ ‭crops,‬ ‭and‬ ‭harvesting‬ ‭harvests.‬ ‭They‬ ‭support‬ ‭military‬
‭operations, research, and education as well.‬

‭●‬ ‭Robotic‬ ‭arms‬ ‭that‬ ‭have‬ ‭AI‬ ‭integrated‬ ‭within‬ ‭them‬ ‭are‬ ‭more‬ ‭autonomous,‬‭adaptive,‬‭and‬
c‭ apable‬‭of‬‭learning,‬‭which‬‭enables‬‭them‬‭to‬‭complete‬‭challenging‬‭jobs‬‭with‬‭less‬‭assistance‬
‭from‬ ‭humans.‬ ‭Nonetheless,‬ ‭there‬ ‭are‬ ‭difficulties‬ ‭with‬ ‭safety,‬ ‭the‬ ‭initial‬ ‭outlay,‬ ‭and‬ ‭the‬
‭moral‬ ‭and‬ ‭societal‬ ‭ramifications.‬ ‭In‬ ‭spite‬ ‭of‬ ‭this,‬ ‭robotic‬ ‭arms‬ ‭have‬ ‭a‬ ‭bright‬ ‭future‬
‭because of developing technologies and growing capacities.‬

‭CONCLUSION‬

‭ ‬ ‭robotic‬ ‭arm‬ ‭is‬ ‭implemented‬ ‭using‬ ‭arduino‬ ‭to‬ ‭pick‬ ‭and‬ ‭place‬ ‭objects‬ ‭more‬ ‭safely‬ ‭without‬
A
‭incurring‬‭much‬‭damage.‬‭The‬‭robotic‬‭arm‬‭used‬‭here‬‭contains‬‭a‬‭soft‬‭catching‬‭gripper‬‭which‬‭safely‬
‭handles‬ ‭the‬ ‭object.‬ ‭In‬ ‭the‬ ‭modern‬ ‭era‬ ‭time‬ ‭and‬ ‭manpower‬ ‭are‬ ‭major‬ ‭constraints‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬
‭completion‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭task.‬ ‭By‬ ‭the‬ ‭use‬‭of‬‭our‬‭robot‬‭the‬‭industrial‬‭activities‬‭and‬‭hazardous‬‭operations‬
‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭done‬ ‭easily‬‭and‬‭safely‬‭in‬‭a‬‭short‬‭span‬‭of‬‭time.‬‭The‬‭use‬‭of‬‭a‬‭soft‬‭catching‬‭gripper‬‭makes‬
‭our‬ ‭system‬‭more‬‭effective‬‭when‬‭compared‬‭to‬‭other‬‭systems.‬‭The‬‭proposed‬‭system‬‭is‬‭capable‬‭of‬
‭lifting‬ ‭only‬ ‭small‬ ‭weights,‬ ‭by‬ ‭introducing‬ ‭high‬ ‭torque‬ ‭providing‬ ‭motor‬ ‭large‬ ‭weights‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬
‭picked.‬ ‭A‬ ‭wireless‬ ‭camera‬ ‭can‬ ‭also‬ ‭be‬ ‭implemented‬ ‭to‬ ‭track‬ ‭the‬ ‭movement‬‭of‬‭the‬‭vehicle‬‭and‬
‭thus it can be used in defense purposes.‬
