CNC Epoxy Mixing Robot
Independent Intern Design Project
During my internship at Tactus Technology, I was asked to design and fabricate a three axis fluid dispensing CNC machine to dispense an ultraviolet curing adhesive or mix a and dispense a two-part thermosetting epoxy. This machine was controlled by g-code.
Technical Skills learned
- CNC software
- Stepper Motor and Driver installation
- 3 axis actuation
- Laser Cutting and Acrylic Welding
- Cable Management
- Pressure Vessel fluid dispensing
- pneumatic actuation
- g-code
The images below illustrate the design of the epoxy mixing machine. They also show one of the Tactus Engineers using the machine to glue together some acrylic panels for one of their prototypes.
