87 – “Automated Assembly” – first project update

The Purdue project team is developing a fully automated machine to assemble a small, custom, two-piece, plastic injection molded replica of the Purdue hammer. Since the initial application submission, the team has been hard at work refining the designs, specifying the needed equipment and defining the overall control strategy for the project. The progress the team has made to date is as follows: Refinement of all conceptual designs into full working designs including the — parts feeders, assembly fixture, machine layout, injection molds, and the robot pick and place device. The completed fabrication includes the machine cart/stand and two key components for the parts feeders. Additionally, the full control scheme has been defined and the associated controls components from Phoenix Contact have been ordered. Since it is still early in the development process, the only real problem that we have encountered is an early design problem with our pick and place robot. The solution to fix this problem is currently under review. The next steps the team will be taking includes: Redesign of the pick and place robot, fabricating the remaining components, acquiring, setting up and programming the controls and pneumatics systems, mounting all machine components, testing and debugging.

Engine Cover Manufacturing and Assembly Process.mpg

This video shows a typical molded engine cover being robotically removed from the injection molding tool which was opened in the press after completing the molding cycle. The robot takes the cover to the operator who places the cover into the hot stamp decorating station. The embossed letters and numbers are decorated with a silver hot stamped film. The decorated cover and other components are then loaded into a fully error proofed assembly fixture. After approved assembly, the operator is allowed to load the finished part into the shipping container. The approval to pack is shown by a green light at the top of the box.
