Robotic Assembly Cell

This is a portfolio page to store a 3D model and documentation regarding a robotic assembly cell I designed an built for an employer.

I'm sorry I can't give too many details due to it being work for a previous employer, but the general concept is...

The operator loads components into the front of the machine.
Custom designed vacuum fixtures, matching the shape of the parts, hold the pieces in place.
When vacuum is confirmed on each component, a switch is flipped by the operator which turns the main turntable 30 degrees, and then starts loading the next station on the table. There are a total of 6 stations on the table.
On the robot side, custom automation shapes wires and peels adhesive gaskets, while the robot vision system picks up components and assembles all the final product.
Finally, after the parts go through all 6 stations, the finished product comes back out to the operator to be unloaded.
All of this takes place faster than the operator can load, so the only limiting factor is the operator itself.
