DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF

SPIDER SYSTEM

SYNOPSIS

The main aim of this project is to design and fabrication of spider system.

A system is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can perform tasks

automatically or with guidance, typically by remote control. This system is used

for pick the object in one place and place that objects in required places. Some

industrial works are harmful for humans this system is mainly used for reduce the

risk process and consuming time and avoid labors. Human are tired for hard work

such as assembly line, material handling etc. This system does all those things it

mainly reduces the manual work our system is designed at low cost as well as high

efficient one. This project is to give the way for providing bigger effective system

for industrial applications. The reason for choosing project is, the most extensively

form of machine is used in most of the industries like car manufacturing,

shipyards, assembling machine etc. Material handling systems are equipment that

relate to the movement, storage, control and protection of materials, goods and

products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and

disposal. Here the system can move in four degrees of freedom and it is powered

by electric motor.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

1. Initially it is assume the rest position of entire system, i.e. state when no

object is placed.

3. As soon as object is placed at the picking platform, the switch gives

the power outputs . This signal is sent to the controller and dc servo

motor which is used for moving the arm.

4. For understanding operation, let us rename the two motors used here.

Let the name of gantry motor be M1 and that for end effecter motor is

M2.

5. Now as controller detects that object is placed, it moves motor M1 in

say clockwise direction for a fixed time due to which whole arm moves

towards picking platform.

6. As it reaches there, M1 stops and now motor M2 is started in say

clockwise direction to hold the object by closing jaw. This motor also, is

on for particular fixed time instant.

7. As M2 gets off, motor M1 is moved again in opposite (here

anticlockwise) direction till the time it reaches the placing platform.

8. As it reaches placing platform, the motor M1 stops and M2 is switched

ON in opposite (here anticlockwise) direction till it releases object

properly on desired place.

9. If after this no object is detected, the system is in rest position.

Otherwise if another object is detected, steps are repeated till step
