Preliminary Layout of A Robot Arm

• Create a Preliminary Layout of the Robot and the Overall Size of the Arm
  • Page
    • Use a A size sheet in landscape (horizontal)
    • Make one layer for title block and border with scale 1:1 and consider copy of your previous title block to this layer or make a new one
    • On all subsequent layers determine an appropriate scale by comparing the maximum dimension that you need to draw to the size of the paper. Then select the next largest standard scale. i.e. 1:4, 1:5, 1:10, 1:25.
    • select an appropriate snap and reference grid
  • Measure and show main parts in your drawing. It is best to make a sketch on paper first then place the measurements from the robot onto the paper sketch when measuring.
    • show the arm in solid straight out horizontal
    • show the arm in extreme positions (like picking up a coffee cup off the floor) and perhaps in one or more intermediate positions. (Perhaps the best intermediate position would be position showing picking up a coffee cup from a counter)
      • show these in phantom line, fine line and/or colour for clarity
      • you may wishg to show the arm in different positions on different layers and print out more than one layout.
    • show centre lines on all axis of cylindrical features
    • draw arcs in centre line style along the location of the arm motion
  • Reference dimension suggestions from the ground to the top of the robot and from the cl axis of the shoulder to the coffee cup when arm is extended.

• Optional /Bonus
  • Create a three space Space claim drawing by creating the primitive shapes of the components and assembling them.
    • Add more detail of the components after completion.
