 ABSTRACT
A robot can be defined as a mechanical device programmed
to perform a manipulative task under automatic control.
Robots are normally used in conjunction with auxiliary
devices such as machines and fixtures

Due to technological advancement robot has become an

integral part of automation in a manufacturing process.
Because of rapid advancement in technology, automation is
must in all areas of manufacturing and in human comfort.
The project consist of circular base, vertical arm , horizontal arm,
these items are actuated by an separate 3 pneumatic cylinders, this
movement of pneumatic cylinders are controlled by an direction
control valve.

It is mainly used for pick and place the component in automated

industrial line when automation is attached.

In this method machineries are work through Air Pressure. All types
of works can be successfully finished by compressed method. Stock
length of Pneumatic cylinders ram is increase and decrease to finish
this process.
 INTRODUCTION

Material handling equipment is all equipment that relates to the

movement, storage, control and protection of materials, goods
and products throughout the process of manufacturing,
distribution, consumption and disposal.

Material handling equipment is generally separated into four

main categories: storage and handling equipment, engineered
systems, industrial trucks, and bulk material handling.
 There are several ways to determine if the material
handling equipment is achieving peak efficiency.

These include capturing all relevant data related to the

warehouses operation (such as SKUs), measuring how
many times an item is touched from the time it is
ordered until it leaves the building, making sure you are
using the proper picking technology, and keeping system
downtime to a minimum.
 METHODOLOGY
Every machine that we see around is not a robot but every
robot is a machine.

For any machine to be called as robot it should have the

following components
Arm: Robot arm comes in all shapes and sizes. The arm is the
part of the robot that positions the end effector and sensors to
do their programming business

End effector: The end effector is the hand connected to the

robots arm. It is often different from a human hand it could
be a tool such as a gripper, a vacuum pump
 Sensors: Most robots of today are nearly deaf and blind.
Sensors can provide some limited feedback to the robot so it
can do its job. Compared to the senses and abilities of even the
simplest living things

Drive: The drive is the engine that drives the links (the
sections between the joints) into their desired position

Controller: Every robot is connected to a computer, which

keeps the pieces of the arm working together
WORKING PRINCPLE

First allow the air from compressor through regulate valve with
desired pressure

Then pick the object with the help of one direction valve. At that
time the object will hold the arm

Operate another direction valve it will work simultaneously loading

and swiveling.
 Therefore the object will locate particular
angle. Thus our project works satisfactory.

ADVANTAGES
Very less mechanical setup so that component
life is very long.

Each and every area can be moved

Direction is easily controlled.

It works with maximum efficiently.

 DISADVANTAGES

Links will failure during the operation due to over load.

High loads cannot be provided

Small Types of jobs only Support.

APPLICATIONS

It is very useful storage area like goodown and shipyard

It performs high efficiency than the other method

 FUTURE WORKS
This machine can be used in automobile
industries for different purposes like painting,
picking and placing automobile parts etc;

It can also be used in shipyards to transfer

goods from land to ships ad vice versa.

 CONCLUSION
This report deals with the design and fabrication of
Robotic arm and its principle is attached with the line
diagram.

Some of the industrial application is punching, clamping,

materials handling, hammering throughout the project
period we gained knowledge on all type of machining
Process and pneumatic system is controlled.
 It was a very interesting process of developing the
prototype, stage by stage and testing the same

It was a useful and fulfilling assignment to get the project

completed in time. This gave us a sense of satisfaction and
accomplishment.
