The discussion centers on the challenge of securing thin rectangular blocks in a box during automated transfer by a robot. The user seeks insights on maintaining stability in three axes while ensuring ease of access for the robotic arm. There is a request for additional project details and mechanical drawings to provide more tailored advice. The conversation hints at a possible classification of the inquiry as schoolwork, suggesting a need for clarification on the project's context. Overall, the focus remains on optimizing the design for effective automation.

Hi I am having some difficulties in my design and I hope I can get some insights on this. I am using a robot to transfer a stack of thin rectangular blocks (roughly 5mm each) into a box. However, I am having some difficulties thinking how to secure the items in the 3 axis without compromising on the ease of transfer as the robotic arm have to be able to take it out and put it back in with ease. The entire process will be fully automated.

Your help is deeply appreciated! Thank you in advance :D

Welcome to PF.

Is this a schoolwork question? If so, I can move your thread to the Homework Help forums for you.

If it is for work, can you give more details about the project? Can you post your mechanical drawings so far as 3D PDF files? Thanks.
 

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
