PLEGO : redesign of the PWR-Pack delta robot frame for increased modularity and better overall performance

TL;DRAbstract

PWR-Pack is a company that designs picker robot systems for the food industry. These robots are based on the delta robot principle. A delta robot is one of the most widely used picker robot types. It uses three motors, which are connected to a platform by arms, to translate the mentioned platform without rotation. The robots are able to move very rapidly and accurately. By attaching a specialized tool, such as a knife or gripper, to the moving platform, the robot can execute very specialized tasks very quickly. The assignment I did at PWR-Pack: ‘Design a module-based frame for delta robots which combines producability, performance, low price, flexibility and aesthetics.’ The emphasis in this project was the modularization. This would allow the company to produce a lot quicker and more efficient. The modularization process has been done in different steps. • An overview of requirements was made, and required standard properties defined • Possible building blocks of the system were d
