2015:Gripper Subteam

Overview of Design

Lead screw Gripper Design Details:

• Lead Screw = 3/8" diameter, 0.166 lead
• Using two lead screws, one left handed, one right handed
• Lead screws will be driven by one 550 motor with banebots 5:1 transmission
• Actuation speed = 8 in/sec
• Force = 100lbs

LED Design Detail:

Have a LED bar on the back of the robot that corresponds to the gripper posistion so that the location of the gripper arms are known when looking at the back of the robot.  1/14/2015

Task list

•clean up calcs and review w/c.s (goal speed (lifter) 1m/s)

•look at 2013- use same lifter opt 1 – scissor lift, opt 2 – 4-bar, opt3- lead screw. Opt 4 – single cyclinder w/ cable wheel

•get lifter group to understand, sude- lift mech

•divvy up components

•pick wikki student

•strategy/control- do we need 2nd grip to go up and down

•size/pick motor (27 stacks) mech cam controls force

•decide on grip design MB. # of open/close – proof pneumatics works

•answer G’ or 5?????-Larry irrelevance

•review parts/ assembly log

•steps- w/static upper
