AUTOMATED HIGH SPEED ASSEMBLY MACHINE DESIGN

Recent years, automation is still important for industrial world and in the global economy.Because of the global competition, industries started to look for new technologies and designs in automation field.There is no more enough time, energy and material to catch people needs for industries in nowadays.Thus, automated systems are becoming more interesting and important.The potential benefits of automated systems are reducing the cost of product, labor and waste; increasing the production quality, repeatability, work safety.In this paper, I describe the design steps of an automated high speed machine which is assembling the parts of a pen, according to manufacturing and production specifications.In the design project, automated system perform different kinds of process in assembly line, such as cartridge loading, point fitting, ink filling, plug fitting, gas charging and cap installing and final sealing.Furthermore, as our goals in project, automated machine must be cheaper, easier to maintain and working at "high speed" repeatedly.Working on the design project, it was really good experience to solve major design problems and to understand of engineering technology limitations in today's world.I concluded my paper with a description designing of an automated high speed system and its distinguished advantages.
