The design and implementation of an automated assembly machine

Abstract

The aim of this project is to design and implement an automatic assembly machine, which has been completed according to 3 stages. The first stage is the mechanical design stage, which includes the design of the machine using the computer. This is to test the machine before it is carried out and to ensure the rigidity of the design and its ability to withstand the forces, friction and heat. The latter was manufactured in accordance with the standards adopted in the industry and the structure of the machine was assembled. The second stage involves the installation of pneumatic control systems by connecting air cylinders with control valves and also installing the electric circuits which are the control panel which in turn contains the programmable logic controller which includes the program which represents the machine’s mind. The control panel also contains a power supply unit and the circuit breaker, after that, the program was developed and downloaded to the programmable logic controller. The final stage includes try outs, the program's safety check, and the correction of technical and program errors, if any.
