Study and conception of a Cartesian Robot

Abstract

The field of Cartesian robots is continuously advancing to address the increasing demands of users in terms of cost, time, flexibility, and quality. This is why Cartesian robot structures are being introduced, as they exhibit exceptional performance in precision, rigidity, and speed. Our project aims to develop a small Cartesian robot with multiple architectures. The mechanical component responsible for positioning the tool in the horizontal plane is based on the biglide-type robot structure with three degrees of freedom. This design ensures both rigidity and precise positioning. Initially, our focus was on modeling and simulating the key parts of the machine using SolidWorks and UGS software. Subsequently, we explored various technological solutions to implement the robot within the constraints of our financial resources and what is available in the local market. The construction of the robot was successfully completed, and it underwent testing for simple pick and place operations, validating the proposed concept. We hope that this modest undertaking can serve as a foundation for future projects in the field of robotics.
