Automated mechanical system for loading and feeding two machined plates for assembly and rotating by 90˚ in Automobile Industry

© ASEE 2016Purpose of this research paper is to introduce a design of a fully automated, cost effective, high-speed mechanical system. This system will assemble two plates of a batch or lot production and deliver them for inspection. For example, in the automobile industry, this system can be used to carry out an assembly of a clutch release bearing and its hub. Automated tools like a rod less pneumatic cylinder and gripper unit, a mechanical flipper wheel, precision indexing conveyors and proximity laser sensors have been used to complete the required tasks at high-speed and with high accuracy. This system is designed and modeled using the Creo Parametric 2.0 software and its computer-aided structural analysis is carried out with the assistance of the ANSYS Workbench 16.0 software
