[12_mechanical machine design]
This week's brief needed us to do the following things:
- design a machine that includes mechanism+actuation+automation
- build the mechanical parts and operate it manually
- document the group project and your individual contribution
We ideated on David's concept of a Paint Machine. We used Jake's linear axis CAD files and designed atop that.
Tasks:
- ideate and general machine design
- linear axis build
- rotary axis build
- frame construction
- end effector
- electronics assemble
- programming
My contribution was the Electrical Kit assembly based on Jake's
The main group tracking page for the machine is
