BACKGROUND
A Pick & Place Pillar Equipment was developed to assist shop-floor operators in lifting and handling heavy components safely and efficiently.
CHALLENGE
- Withstanding rated lifting loads safely
- Achieving required arm reach and rotational movement
- Minimizing structural deformation under maximum loading
- Ensuring adequate factor of safety for long-term operation
- Optimizing weight while maintaining structural integrity
- Validating design prior to manufacturing
APPROACH
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS Mechanical.
- Meshing and load case definition.
- Stress, deformation, and safety factor evaluation.
- Design optimization based on simulation results.
- Final validation and manufacturing release.
