Orchard Park High School students in Mr. Kennedy's Computer Integrated Manufacturing class have finished their Autonomous Pick and Place Robotic project. The turntable is driven by a stepper motor and is programmed to stop when the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F IR proximity sensor detects a part. The “Turntable” PICAXE microprocessor, "handshakes" with the "X-Axis" PICAXE that turns the pick-up arm into position. An Opto-Isolator circuit is used to accomplish the "handshakes" between all three microprocessors. Once in position, the vacuum is turned on and the "Y-Axis" PICAXE lowers to pick-up the part with a Vaccon suction cup (thanks Dave). A "handshake" is programmed to the input of the "X-Axis" PICAXE where the part is rotated to the drop zone. The vacuum solenoid is turned off and the part is released. Yenka software was used write and program the PICAXE microprocessors which controlled the three stepper motors and various inputs and outputs. The Students operated a Light CNC Router, Rockwell Lathe and various machining operations as part of the manufacturing process. The router can be seen drilling holes from MasterCam code. The concept was designed and drafted by the students in Autodesk Inventor. Less
