To highlight some of the individual components and modules of our machine, here are a few close ups for your viewing pleasure.
The Machine
Pillowblock for Lead Screw Bearing and Mounting Bracket for Arm
Interior of Upper Arm: Acrylic Hex Brackets, Pillowblocks and Bearings for Lead Screw, Turned Down Hex Shaft, and Bushings for Hex Shaft
Detailed shot of Bronze Bushings and Hex Shaft turned to 5/16th inch Diameter
Rotational Module for Arm, as well as Mounting Brackets for Telescoping Module being worked on
Bracket Designed to Constrain Motor Shaft Movement due to High Torque:
Torque required to lift the arm was putting too much radial stress on the unconstrained shaft, preventing the gear from properly functioning. This was designed to allow only one axis of movement in the shaft.
