electronic equipment manufacturing is used a Cartesian Robot

 

An electronic equipment manufacturing is used a Cartesian Robot to pick and place a 20x2Omm Surface Mount IC from one location to another.

The work process is simple, with first the IC is presented in a tray, and the XY Robot is to move above the IC and pick it up by means of Vacuum. The Robot is then move the IC above the target, follow by placing the IC down vertically.

1. End of Arm Tooling

You are tasked to design an End-of-Arm tooling conceptual design, and need to present the followings:

- Sketch of the EOA tools

• Choose the vacuum generator, vacuum cup, sensing of parts and decide what electrical signals to activate the vacuum generation from SMC Pneumatic web catalogue, https://www.smcworld.com/products/en/s.do?ca_id=485,

2. Machine Vision System

The same robot is to pick the same Surface Mount IC up from the tray, but now to place on a PCB accurately. Machine Vision Camera System is to be used to ensure that the IC is placed onto the solder pad.

You are to design the Machine Vision Systems to satisfy the above requirements. The followings are to be presented:

- Sketch of how the camera system(s) to be installed onto the robotic system;

- Describe Camera and Lighting systems:

3. Image Analysis

The same robot is to pick the same Surface Mount IC up from the tray, but now to place on a PCB accurately.

- Sketch the Image of the Machine Vision Systems capture

- Describe how the Machine Vision system communicate the location data to the XY cont
