PRESSING MECHANISM

Fabrication plan:

steps	solutions
Objectives	To press the paper against the wall
Materials	Acrylic sheets / Foam sheets
Materials chosen	Foam sheet
Reason	Light weight so less load on the motor

Program:

void setup()
{
 pinMode(34,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(35,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
   digitalWrite(m41,HIGH);        //block press
   digitalWrite(m42,LOW); 
   delay(1500);
   
   digitalWrite(m41,LOW);         //block stops
   digitalWrite(m42,LOW); 
   delay(500);
    
  digitalWrite(m41,LOW);         //block back
   digitalWrite(m42,HIGH); 
  delay(500);
   
   digitalWrite(m41,LOW);         //block stops
   digitalWrite(m42,LOW); 
  } 

WORKING:

1. The paper which has been glued is being folded by folding mechanism.
2. Now the paper has folded in u-shape is is being lowered to the pressing mechanism.
3. Now the presser forces and the paper in between is pressed against the static wall.
4. The paper has been pressed and the sides have stuck to each other.

COMPONENTS:

1. Foam sheets (used to make block, wall and supports)
2. Sponge (attached on the surface of block)
3. 60 RPM Motor (to rotate the block for pressing against wall)
4. L-clamps (for the support of the wall)

Functionality test report

Report

The foam was cut in the dimensions according to the need. The foam sheet was was layered with hard sponge . The compression helps in increase in the pressure over the paper to be pressed against the wall.

Integration test results

The pressing mechanism is synchronized with the system.
