Hydraulic Arm Using Syringe and Motor

Description

A mechanical syringe actuated arm is hydraulically operated and controlled by syringes filled with some fluid. It consists of various parts connected to each other in a pre-designed manner which are guided in a constrained way to obtain the required output. These arms are used in assembly lines of mega factories to assemble various parts of a product and also to paint vehicles. They are also used in earth movers to pick up heavyweight and keep them where required. The same principle is being used in JCBs, automobile lifters, etc.

The kit hydraulic operated robotic arm has six types of axis mobility and it can pick and place any object. Hydraulic pumps and pistons are too costly and rarely available. And as we want to put our idea in the real-life scenario we can use a medical syringe as a hydraulic piston and a dc geared motor as a type of pump. As these are exact analogs to the original pump and piston so we can use them as an engineering prototype in this kit.

In the mechanism, each part has been provided with a certain degree of freedom to move in a constrained way to guide other parts and also to pick up small weight items and to place them wherever required. The complete mechanism consists of a fixed vertical link. To its free end is connected or better to say hinged, another horizontal link which is free to oscillate about that hinge in an up-down way of motion.
