Final Machine Design
This is a picture of our final assembly. There are four important parts that are crucial to the process that make up the machine assembly; the mask, the webbing fixture, the tab holder and the four-bar mechanism. Majority of the machined parts are 6061 aluminum. The Bill of Materials can be found on the Budget page.
This picture shows the machine grabbing a tab from the tab holder with the tweezers and pneumatic grippers.
This picture shows the tab being placed onto the webbing which
is being held by the webbing fixture and mask.
The webbing fixture will then be rotated 90 degrees using detent pins on the
bottom of the fixture and the process
will be repeated four times until all the tabs are placed.
A description and pictures of the four important parts mentioned above can be seen on the Design Description page.
