Propose Design an Automated Mechanical System for Capping and Water Level Measurement of Water Bottle

摘要

The purpose of this poster is to develop an automated production layout along with its design for above mentioned subject. The research work includes designing the fixture for holding the bottle while capping and three-finger self-centering gripper for placing and moving the bottle to and fro from guideways to the bottle bottom holder and vice versa. Suggesting an automated system and technology for checking the water level in bottle and effectively removing such bottles from assembly line would also be one of the objectives of this poster. Tools like automated torque wrench, precision indexing conveyor belts, three-finger self-centering grippers, three-jaw chuck (bottle holding fixture), infrared level detection sensors have been used in this system. FEA analysis of three-finger gripper and three-jaw chuck is done to verify their design. The components of this system are designed using Creo Parametric 2.0. Designed components are analyzed using ANSYS Workbench 16.0.
