DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF
SPIDER SYSTEM
SYNOPSIS
The main aim of this project is to design and fabrication of spider system.
A system is a mechanical or virtual intelligent agent that can perform tasks
automatically or with guidance, typically by remote control. This system is used
for pick the object in one place and place that objects in required places. Some
industrial works are harmful for humans this system is mainly used for reduce the
risk process and consuming time and avoid labors. Human are tired for hard work
such as assembly line, material handling etc. This system does all those things it
mainly reduces the manual work our system is designed at low cost as well as high
efficient one. This project is to give the way for providing bigger effective system
for industrial applications. The reason for choosing project is, the most extensively
form of machine is used in most of the industries like car manufacturing,
shipyards, assembling machine etc. Material handling systems are equipment that
relate to the movement, storage, control and protection of materials, goods and
products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and
disposal. Here the system can move in four degrees of freedom and it is powered
by electric motor.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
1. Initially it is assume the rest position of entire system, i.e. state when no
object is placed.
3. As soon as object is placed at the picking platform, the switch gives
the power outputs . This signal is sent to the controller and dc servo
motor which is used for moving the arm.
4. For understanding operation, let us rename the two motors used here.
Let the name of gantry motor be M1 and that for end effecter motor is
M2.
5. Now as controller detects that object is placed, it moves motor M1 in
say clockwise direction for a fixed time due to which whole arm moves
towards picking platform.
6. As it reaches there, M1 stops and now motor M2 is started in say
clockwise direction to hold the object by closing jaw. This motor also, is
on for particular fixed time instant.
7. As M2 gets off, motor M1 is moved again in opposite (here
anticlockwise) direction till the time it reaches the placing platform.
8. As it reaches placing platform, the motor M1 stops and M2 is switched
ON in opposite (here anticlockwise) direction till it releases object
properly on desired place.
9. If after this no object is detected, the system is in rest position.
Otherwise if another object is detected, steps are repeated till step
