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.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
