Constructing a gantry robot to lift a plate

Hello! I'm trying to contruct a gantry robot that is able to lift a plate with a small bendradius without getting any dents.

 

I want this /''\ (its suppose to be two at each end) to go down and grab the plate and lift it up. They shall also be able to adjust as the radius decreases from 40mm to 0.8mm (It's set in the animation). All I get is error, error, error...

 

Help pls Smiley Happy

 

Thanks!

What exactly do you want help with?  Error, error... what error?  Are you asking for someone to make it for you?  Based on your login name, one might get the false( I hope) impression that you're looking for someone to do your homework?

 

We're happy to help with specific questions, but I doubt anyone here is going to build this for you.

Did you intend to include an assembly (*.iam) file in that zip?

I'm sorry guys, I should have explained myself in more detail. And the assembly did somehow not get into the attachment.

 

Here's the process that I'm trying to achieve.

 

The robot shall be able to:

  • fetch the plate and bring it to a certain position.
  • adapt Its "flaps" when the plate´s radius is being decreased.

My question is: How am I suppose to connect the robot (Part 2 and 3) with the plate and still be able to do these two functions? I've tried with just mate and flush, transitional contraints, workpoints combined with axes but all It provides is error.

 

This attachement includes the assembly.

 

Thanks again for the replies!

Has your instructor introduce the Dynamic Simulation Enviroment yet?

I still can't find a way to connect the plate with the robot. I've watched lots of videos on Youtube (considering the Dynamic Simulation) but most of them are just about a specific product.

 

Are you saying that I should have the robot mated with the plate and use the Dynamic Simulation to find a way to make the height adjustable?

 

Thanks

I don't think I fully understand what you're wanting, but does this do it?

I've just made some progress with the animation, check it out! But I'm sure that there is an easier/"more correct" way to do it (I'm currently moving one piece as a time).

Feedback please!

 

Thanks

I'm running with autodesk inventor prof 2013 so I cannot open your attachement Smiley Sad
