Model for Color Sorting Using a Six-Axit Robotic Arm

Abstract

Nowadays, the robotic arm is used in a wider variety of applications and is not limited to the industrial sector. The industrial robotic arm is the main device of the Flexible Production System (FPS), which is an automatic production system that is easy to program and customize for use with a more continuous, accurate and efficient production process. The 6-axis robotic arm model aims to study the operation of the 6-axis robotic arm and study the coding through the Arduino IDE program to control the operation of the Servo motor to study the efficiency with an error value of no more than 10 percent and to study satisfaction. The research tools are the experimental results recording table and the satisfaction assessment form. The research results of the design and construction of a color sorting model with a 6-axis mechanical arm. The base of the model is made of 8 mm thick plywood, which can withstand pressure, humidity and heat well. The belt is made of pre-assembled steel and equipped with a wiper motor and a PVC conveyor belt that can withstand heat and cold well, is flexible, resistant to scratches and destructive forces. The robot arm is an aluminum robot arm that is heavy and strong, held together with screws. Servos are installed on all 6 robot arms. The efficiency of the color sorting model with a 6-axis mechanical arm has very good experimental results because the average error value is 4 percent, which does not exceed 10 percent. The satisfaction of the color sorting model with a 6-axis mechanical arm is at a level of satisfaction in terms of the design and structure of the color sorting model with a 6-axis mechanical arm. The satisfaction is at a very good level, with an average value () of 4.69 and a standard deviation (S.D.) of 0.55
