End-of-Arm-Tooling (EOAT)
The EOAT was an Intralox donation.
It came with various sensors, pneumatic actuators, pumps, and mechanical slides.
The EOAT was typically used to pick-and-place components through vacuum suction cups

Programmable Logic Controller PLC
The EOAT came with a PLC and other power components.
The power panel included some components that were not applicable to our project.The 480V transformer and the high power components were removed.

Working System at Intralox:
How did the EOAT operate?
1. Slide into the mold.
2. Extend the vacuum cups to grab the next part.
3. Lift it up so the next section could be molded to it to create a continuous belt.

Working System at Intralox:
Then, the EOAT would slide back out so the mold could close and start the process all over again.

Objectives:
To restore the EOAT and learn the functionality of the entire system.
To provide our ET program with an extra training/simulation apparatus to better prepare our graduates for real work equipment.

Deliverables:
January 2014: Order missing parts (vacuum pump, sensors, pneumatic
tubes, pneumatic regulators). February 2014):
Connect sensors and actuators to PLC and train the system.
March 2014: Connect vacuum and air compressor to PLC and
actuators. April 2014:
Test the system, document all components, and prepare a user manual that describes the operating mechanism.
