The project team designed and simulated an automatic assembly line in which a Vibration Bowl Feeder provides and orients caps so that Robot Arms can do cap-bottle assembly, then pack them into boxes. The project includes both Mechanical Design and Robotic Programming. The Vibration Bowl Feeder was designed in SOLIDWORKS, the Robot Arm Assembly modules was built in Visual Component, and all calculations were done with the help of MathCad. The whole system was also simulated and tested in the environment of SOLIDWORKS Simulation and Visual Components.
The research project team investigated main factors which most influence and cause problems in an automatic assembly line. From simulations, problems and their solutions were found by cycles of try - error fixing - retry until the engineering targets attained. Although the whole system was designed and tested virtually in simulation softwares, the goal of the project is to approach the reality as close as possible so that it can be applied in factories worldwide.
The project was carried out in six months by a two-membered team. Each member is mainly responsible for a main aspect of the project: Mechanical Design and Automation Program. However, both members have been working closely together in figuring out mechanical solutions and calculations.
The research project can be a good reference for researchers who have interests in vibratory sorting machine, or in Automatic Assembly with robot arms.
