OBJECTIVE

To funnel a plastic gear from human feeding station to doors that would push out a yellow, plastic-shaped gear.

DESIGN

• There are two single-acting pneumatic on each side of the door as seen in Figure 2. 

• All the components are created through a waterjet cutter out of aluminum sheets. 

• There is a funnel that makes it easier to capture the gear from a feeding station as seen in Figure 1.

• Figure 2: Back view of the Gear Pushing Mechanism.

• There is two single-acting pneumatics on each side of the doors (the doors are the front two panels with writings sideways on it. They then push out the gear as seen in Figure 1.

• The doors are an optimal distance at 335.21 mm as seen in Figure 1 away from each other so that there is some slack when it falls down and secure enough to constantly push out the gear to the same position.
