Pneumatic Gripper Prototype Development

Descripción de la oferta
I want to turn a concept for a pneumatic actuator into a working prototype that can grip or clamp objects with repeatable, controllable force. The job spans mechanical design, pneumatic circuit sizing, and the embedded-software layer that will let me test different grip profiles through a simple interface. Scope • Translate my sketches and performance targets into detailed CAD ready for rapid manufacture (CNC, SLA or FDM are all fine). • Select off-the-shelf valves, fittings and sensors, then size the cylinder and air supply so the gripper reaches its force and stroke goals. • Develop quick-change firmware or a ROS/Arduino node that lets me adjust pressure, speed and dwell time from a laptop while logging position/force data. • Assemble and bench-test the unit, capturing video and basic data traces that prove smooth, backlash-free clamping across the full range. Acceptance criteria – Grips 0-50 mm objects with <0.5 mm repeatability. – Delivers up to 150 N closing force at 6 bar. – Response time from open to full clamp under 0.3 s. – All native files (CAD, code, BOM) handed over and build is reproducible with common components. When you reply, please include past work that shows similar pneumatic, robotic or mechatronic prototypes you have taken from design to proof-of-concept. Links, short videos or photos are perfect—I only need to see what you have already built to understand your fit for this project.
