Explanation video about the made CAD and motion study!

Pick and Place Model

The most complicated model that I did to study its motion and movement is this pick and place end effector. There was not straight path for this; Despite the reference avaialble in YT here the implementation they did was the final product in Solidworks. I had to reverse engineer this and implement it in F360.

This is the culmination of the activities as this covers the complex mechanisms discussed from rocker to a specific movement for motion study.

My model that I have made. Cannot simulate fully the movement due to the error attributed to the spring. Below is the reference for this mechanism.

Inspiration for this project!

Documentation for the motion study made and if the model achieved wanted movement.

HOW THIS PROJECT CAN BE FURTHER IMPROVED: There is always room for improvement. The issue with this project is the compliant of the mechanisms to adhere to the interactions et by the user. A better implementation can be made in other CAD software. Aside from the limitation of the software that I used, I can also put emphasis on the diagnostics of the motion. Once I have pinpoint that I cannot perform a full cycle of the performance, what I painstakingly do is to force it to go to other direction via moving the joints in freeform to achieve and validate the movement. This is a roundabout way to perform such engineering validation for the movement of this mechanism.
