Abstract:
This is a project report for the subject of Solid Modeling. The goal of this project was to study and
create solid works assembly. This report aims to explain the theoretical background, creation,
working and uses of our selection.

1. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

1.1 SOLID WORKS:

SolidWorks is a solid modeling computer-aided design and computer-aided engineering application
published by Dassault Systems. According to the publisher, over two million engineers and designers at
more than 165,000 companies were using SolidWorks as of 2013.

1.1.1 Parts:
An SLDPRT file is a CAD file generated by SolidWorks software. It is a 3D file format that contains
the 3D information of an object or “part”.

1.1.2 Assembly:
You will get SolidWorks Assembly user interface, where you can assemble various parts created
from the parts files or you directly edit parts created in assembly interface. In this way you can
create SolidWorks Assembly file. Here you can use either top-down assembly or bottom-up
assembly methods.

 ROBOTIC ARM
(MODEL)
BODY AND STRUCTURE:
The main body of the arm consists of several metallic part joined together to form a structure as of
like a human arm. It is designed in a way to replicate the functionality of a real life human arm.

GRIPPER:
In the simplest terms, grippers are devices that enable robots to pick up and hold objects. When
combined with a collaborative robot (or 'cobot') arm, grippers enable manufacturers to automate key
processes, such as inspection, assembly, pick & place and machine tending.

SERVO MOTORS:
A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or
linear position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for
position feedback.

 METHOD OF MAKING
The complete robotics arm is made in 4 modules as described below. The idea is to follow the step
by step process as described in these modules that shall lead to the final assembly of module 4.
Total assembly consists of 140 parts.

Module 1:

 Base Assembly

Procedure:

 This assembly contains 9 - > 15 parts.

 We will create these parts first.
 Assemble base.
 Attach servo motor

4
Module 2:
 Arm Layout design and module

Procedure:

 This assembly contains parts 1 - > 8.

 These parts will be assembled and mounted on the base.

5
Module 3:
 Arm Assembly
Procedure:
 This will continue the assembly in assembly 1.
 Assemble the lower part of the arm and fixing/screwing it.
 Assemble the upper part of the arm and fix it with screws.

6
Module 4:
 Mate controller
Procedure:

 This module will start by attaching the gripper to the arm and iontroducing the mate
controller
 Then we shall apply this to the whole assembly
