  3. Outline • Ryan Engelman • Project Organization Chart • Doug Wright • Executive Summary - Project Background, List of Deliverables, Cost • Justin Behrens • Detailed Project Description • Literature Review • Garth McDermott, PM • Plan to Complete Project • Timeline, Action Items List, Responsibility Chart • Jeremy Vaughan • Resources Needed • Summary

  4. Project Organization Chart

  5. Project in General • Cartesian Robot • The Problem • Our Solution

  6. Deliverables • 3-D model in inventor • Scaled down basic model to show dynamics of axis • List of parts • 2-D drawings of parts • Table of possible robot configurations • Appendix of calculations and analysis

  7. Responsibilities • Garth McDermott = X-Axis • Justin Behrens = Z-Axis • Ryan Engelman/Jeremy Vaughan = Y-Axis • Doug Wright = Stands & Mounting

  8. Costs • Up to $32,000 depending on design and size.

  9. Project Description • Design a Flexible Gantry Robot • Stands and Support Beams • Guides and Bearings • Drive Systems

  10. Stands and Support Beams Designed to support total robot weight including payload. Designed to resist vibration and minimize deflection. Designed for easy assembly and redeployment.

  11. Guides and Bearings Designed to reduce friction. Designed to handle the applied loads and moments. Materials chosen to reduce wear and increase robot life.

  12. Drive Systems Sized to meet the acceleration and jerk requirements. Gear train will be picked to meet velocity requirements. Belt drive or rack and pinion will be used to transfer power to the robot. Hydraulics will be used for the Z-Axis.

  13. Research • Several Gantry Robot Manufacturers • Gudel • Wittman • Several Product Lines • Many different gantry variations and applications

  14. Plan to Complete the Project • Conference call with Greg Janutka, • Defining and picking the supports & mountings, guides, and drivers • Construct a table of the possible robot configurations • Design individual CAD drawing for each of the axises • Design a 3-D model in Inventor of the entire gantry robot to show how it will work

  15. Action Item List

  16. Responsibilities, Approval, Support, & Information

  17. Time Line

  18. Resources Needed • Lab Space: Mechanical Engineering Lab located in A Wing, Room 209 • Computers: Provided in lab above by the Department of Mechanical Engineering • Printer: Provide in lab by the Department of Mechanical Engineering

  19. Cost To Us • Since our model will be completed in Autodesk Inventor, the cost to us will be minimal • Production cost will be as addressed above

  20. Resources Needed Cont. • Microsoft Word • Microsoft Excel • Microsoft PowerPoint • Autodesk Inventor • Auto CAD

  21. Summary • Project Overview • Stands and Support Beams • Guides and Bearings • Drive Systems • Plan to Finish on Time • Resources Needed • Most are available
