pneumatic auto feed drilling using SCARA robot

Project Abstract / Summary : In small-scale industries and automobile maintenance shops, there are frequent needs of tightening and loosening of screws, drilling, boring, grinding machine. Huge and complicated designed parts cannot be machined with the help of an ordinary machine and further for every operation separate machine is required therefore increasing the number of machines required and increasing the area required for them to be accommodated and hence overall initial cost required is increased. In a single machine all the above specified operation can be carried out, i.e., after drilling ,the drill head is removed from the barrel key and the required tools like grinding wheels, boring tool etc., can be attached, and the operation can be performed.
By the application of pneumatics in industrial robot, the pneumatic cylinder with piston which is operated by an air compressor will give the successive action to operate this machine. By this we can achieve our industrial requirements.
The main objective of our project is to perform various machining operations using“ Auto feed mechanism interfacing with a robot” in drilling machine with the help of pneumatic sources. For a developing industry the operation performed and the parts (or) components produced should have it minimum possible production cost for it to run profitability.

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : As we are interested in robotics and fluid power drives it makes us comfortable to work in this project.this scara robot which are used in industries are more commonly used for assembly purposes but we want scara robot to do further operarions which includes drilling,boring,tapping,milling and also the end effector and the links can also be rotated through 360degrees which makes it convenient to drill through any surface.
