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 non-disclosure agreements, but the general concept is...

A person loads parts into the front of the machine.
Vacuum generators suck the parts into custom figures that match the shape of the part.
When a 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.
After that, some custom automation shapes a few wires, and peels a few adhesive gaskets, while the robot vision picks up components and assembles all the pieces.
Finally, after the parts go through all 6 stations, the finished product comes back out to the operator.
All of this takes place faster than the operator can load, so the only limiting factor is the operator itself.
