Your company has decided to automate the production of parts from a magnesium alloy. The
process is at the moment manual and is the same as that shown in the YouTube video
(). This process shows a furnace containing molten
magnesium alloy, a die caster and a place for the manufactured parts.
It has now been decided to automate this process and you have been asked to develop some design
concepts for the robot cell. You should consider three basic layouts for the robot cell, identify the
advantages and disadvantages of each layout and then select the most suitable concept, explaining
the reasons for your choice. For the design you have chosen, you need to develop a full robotic
work cell, using basic hand sketches of the layout. These sketches should NOT be in RobotStudio
but can either be floor plans or 3D sketches.. You will need to identify all the other equipment
required including that for creating a safe working environment and produce a basic specification,
including gates, fences etc. You must use the caster included in the original video as your company
cannot afford to replace it.
