Through appropriate sketching, determine the types of grippers or tools, which is most suitable for the following tasks: i. Transfer of a fragile oval-shaped vase. ii. iii. Transfer of a car chassis made from aluminum material. Transfer of a carton/box of chicken eggs. iv. Transfer of a cylindrical butane gas tank. Discuss and justify the factors to be considered during the selection of the end-effectors. Provide a sketch of the design and make necessary assumptions.

5. Robotic arms can have different end effectors. An end effecor is the attachment that is put on the end of a robotic arm. An end effector may be a claw that can pick things up and place them. Other end effectors include a welding tool and a drill. What is the main Idea of this paragraph?
Could you mathematically explain static forces on 3 DOF Planar Redundant Robotic Manipulator?(torque) If this manipulator picks up a 10kg object, calculate its torque. With the end effector fixed, will the joint torques change? If so, how will the engine selection be affected?
Speed reduction, either through gearing or belt-pulley constructs, is an important element in motion system design. Similarly, converting rotary motion to linear motion is an important consideration. Considering a printer system driven by a stepper motor with 200 steps per revolution, construct a table that shows the relationships for: a. Position resolution of the print head vs. angular position of the motor. This translates to addressable print dots per mm vs. step angle. b. Print head speed (mm/S) vs. motor speed (Steps/S with rpm also noted) C. Frictional load at the print head (mN) vs. reflected torque at the motor (mNM) Mass of the print head vs. reflected inertia to the motor d. Use GR for Speed Reduction, r (mm) for the radius of the drive pulley, and m (grams) for print-head mass.. Belt Actuator Load Drive Pulley Secondary Pulley Linear Guide Belt Primary Pulley Motor
Problem 3: A small gearing system in your brand-new 3D printer fails as you were printing, leading to an overload in the motor and a fire in your home. The fire spreads, burning half of Everglades National Park in the worst environmental disaster in US history. The printer company blames you! Stating that you must have been misusing the printer some- how. Use your engineering knowledge to "show those jerks you mean business!" You investigate and find a serial number on the gears and type it into Google, finding the company that manufactures the gears. Their website provides some info that this series of gear is made from AISI 4340 steel and the yield strength is 125 kpsi. Assuming each gear tooth acts as a small cantilever, prove to the 3D printer company that they are liable for the fire. oct # Gear Information Gear radius (r): 1.00 in Tooth length (1): 0.15 in Tooth height (h): 0.15 in Tooth thickness (b): 0.1 in Angular velocity (w): 0.1 rad/s Motor Information Power (H): 0.009 hp 1…
Answer the two connected questions (Task A-1 and A-2). Provided in the last part are the guides and examples: The process for large-scale manufacture of paper has been largely unchanged for the last 125 years. The pulp and paper industry today is highly capital intensive, and there is an ongoing drive towards process integration, thereby increasing the efficiency of utilization of available process resources. This paper deals with the Kraft process (see Fig. 1) though the general principles described can be extended to other pulping processes. As shown in Figure 1, five water sinks and four water sources are considered for in-plant water reuse/ recycle. Prior to water reuse/ recycle, the network requires a freshwater flow rate of 36,400 tonne/day and generates 37,186 tonne/day of wastewater (sum of the individual sink and source flow rates in Table 1). The freshwater source that is available for service has an impurity concentration (chloride content) of 4.2 ppm, which is higher than…
27. You have the following compound machine. For S and ins a. What is the ideal mechanical advantage of this system? The inclined plane dimensions are 7.2 meters length and 1.8 meters height. What effort force is required to move the 600N create? In practice, you need to supply an effort force of 75 N to lift the crate. What is the efficiency? C. How could you redesign this compound d. machine so that the effort force needed was 50 N in practice? Assume the efficiency is your response from part C no matter what changes you make. Be specific with the changes you propose (if you add pulleys state how many, if you change the inclined plane dimensions state the new dimensions, etc.).
A pick and Place machine is being used to transfer a box. The arm is extended (out) by energizing a solenoid valve; when the valve is de-energizes, the arm retracts (in). In the same way, a second valve closes the grip (when energized) or opens the grip (when de-energized). Here's a diagram of this "machine": Grip Air Cylinder Grip open Grip Closed Box Arm Air Cylinder Arm In Arm Out The system is really slow... it actually takes 3-4 seconds for the arm to fully extend. An engineer created the below diagram. Start Pressed Time (seconds) Box Falls - 1 -2 -3 - 4 - 5 -6 –7 -8 – 9 – 10 Extend Arm Close Grip Question (finally!). Which statement is completely true regarding this design? It uses the Master Clock scheme. Given this diagram, the arm will probably start to retract before the grip fully closes. O If the arm takes 4 seconds to retract (return), the box will be dropped "mid-flight" It uses the Domino Scheme. Things can't happen in the wrong sequence. It uses the Master Clock…
