About the course
Scenario
Redesign the custom gripper jaws to hold jars of capsules.
The redesign will be optimized with the objective of minimizing the mass of the jaws while maintaining sufficient rigidity.
Laboratory Contents
Chapter 1 (1h30): Mechanical simulation of the gripper
- Validate the mechanical model
- Configure the model and carry out a static simulation
- Collect simulation results
Chapter 2: Design Optimization (3h)
- Simulate the behavior of the jaw under load
- Optimize the shape of the jaw
- Remodel the jaw
Chapter 3 (3h): Implementation
Prerequisites
Knowledge of mechanical technology: forces, stresses, kinematic links, as well as volume modeling, is preferable.
Required components
Ned2
NiryoStudio
- CAD software
- Mechanical simulation software
- Topological optimization software
What you'll learn
- Mechanical design: Adapting parts to meet specific requirements.
- Topological optimization: Improving component performance while reducing weight.
- 3D modeling: Creation and modification of volumetric models.
- Stress analysis: Assessment of part strength.
- Prototyping and validation: Test and validate designs by manufacturing.
About the Author
Teacher - Mechanical Engineering (SII)
Franck JULLIEN and Pierre-Alain BARRY focus on skills in packaging design and the industrialization of packaging or conditioning solutions. They use cobots with their students, for example, to perform “pick and place” operations or palletization simulations.
