[Engineezy] may need been watching a 3D printer transfer when inspiration struck: Why not construct a robotic arm to clear up his workbench? Why not, certainly? Nicely, all you want is a 17-foot-long X-axis and a gripper mechanism that may decide up any unusual factor that occurs to be on the bench.
Like every good mission, he did it step-by-step. Mounting a 17-foot linear rail on an precisely machined backplate required skilled CNC help. He was capturing for a 1mm accuracy, however determined to accept 10mm.
With the lengthy axis accomplished, the remaining appeared anticlimactic, at the very least for transferring it round. The system can truly help his body weight whereas transferring. The subsequent step was to manage the arm manually and use a gripper to open a components bin.
The arm works, however is considerably gradual and wishes some automation. An amazing begin to a mission that may not be sensible, however remains to be a enjoyable construct and would possibly encourage you to do one thing equally giant.
Now we have giant workbenches, however we have a tendency to make use of tiny ones extra typically in our workplace. We additionally get pleasure from ones which are moveable.
