A Benchtop Robotic Automation Approach For Manufacturing Prefilled Syringes, Yehua Zhong Nov 2022

A Benchtop Robotic Automation Approach For Manufacturing Prefilled Syringes, Yehua Zhong

All Theses

Automation and robotics have become a staple in the biological manufacturing sector due to their ability to efficiently work without operator inputs, with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. Industrial robotic arms, in particular, present themselves as valuable tools for biological manufacturing scenarios that require customized solutions due to their ease of programming and flexibility. The traditional hospital-focused healthcare system was organically developed to address acute conditions, however, in recent years, due to the unprecedented occurrence of emergencies happening more frequently, fast and efficient drug production becomes important [17]. This thesis represents the use of a benchtop robot and …


Development Of Feature Recognition Algorithm For Automated Identification Of Duplicate Geometries In Cad Models, Aravind Shanthakumar Dec 2012

Development Of Feature Recognition Algorithm For Automated Identification Of Duplicate Geometries In Cad Models, Aravind Shanthakumar

All Theses

This research presents a feature recognition algorithm for the automated identification of duplicate geometries in the CAD assembly. The duplicate geometry is one of the seven indicators of the lazy parts mass reduction method. The lazy parts method is a light weight engineering method that is used for analyzing parts with the mass reduction potential. The duplicate geometry is defined as any geometries lying equal to or within the threshold distance with the user-defined orientation between them and have the percentage similarity that is equal to or greater than the threshold value. The feature recognition system developed in this research …
