This paper show a mechanism to select types of robot structures namely Cartesian articulated and Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm (SCARA), for material handling in warehouse area
This paper provide a preliminary study report for a development of low Degree of Freedom (DOF) hydraulic robotic arm as flexible material handling
Summary
Inventory plays very important role in a manufacturing system. Company try to make their inventory more efficient including its handling devices because in most operations, material handling can account for 30–75% of an item’s total production cost (Kulak, 2005). It is not necessary to have micrometer sensors or ultra fast and precission mechanism to make it works As long as it powerfull, can reach every place on the shelf, and has several milimeter accuracy, it should do the the handling task. This paper provide a preliminary study report for a development of low DOF hydraulic robotic arm as flexible material handling. There are still limited scientific studies in designing or choosing the best concept for low DOF robotic manipulator for flexible material handling purpose. In this paper the three typical manipulator; articulated, cartesian, and SCARA would be simplified into the lowest DOF design they can be built but it still possible to do end effector positioning on a vertical graded shelf. This paper consist of four parts, The Introduction, Methods, Result, and Conclusions
