Simulating A Cartesian Robot For Loading And Unloading Sheet Metals

---

Automated CNC machines, such as metal sheet punching machine, are customarily installed where the sheet metal itself must be fed into and from the machine manually. The question of whether the implementation of automated transfer of sheet metal is cost effective is still in debating stage. However, if the repetitive loading and unloading is an often case, this might be true statement. The drawbacks of such an implementation is the fact that custom engineered systems are required from the pre-implementation up to the post-implementation stage, which cause high investment.nnThe main idea of this thesis is to give input to the manufacturing sector about the possibility of implementing automated loading and unloading sheet metal into and from the punching machine. That idea was started from the fact that the machine manufacturer will merely supply at its own product up to the installation and to make supporting peripherals is not their practices. This thesis will describe that to make installation within existing conditions is relatively easy and economical. And it can locate the transfer arm so it does not interfere with machine setup or other equipment.nnThe literature review is given briefly to get a common understanding of the available technology in the industry sectors. This review will help the end good manufacture to understand the automated system for loading and unloading raw material using a cartesian robot.nnTo see a clear picture of the cartesian robot for automated system, a scaled down of the prospective system is created to simulate the actual system. Although this simulation simplifies the mechanism and controllers, the basic principles are still within the simulator.n
