Twelve Days of Automation

December 23, 2014 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

In honor of the upcoming holiday, here’s an Automation spin to the classic song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.”

 

On the first day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

A design layout in 3D

3D CAD Layout

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the second day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

 

On the third day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

3 Phase Power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the fourth day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Four high-flex cables

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

 

On the fifth day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

***Five linear guides***

Four high-flex cables

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

Rollon

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the sixth day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Six lube guns greasing

***Five linear guides***

Four high-flex cables

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

 

On the seventh day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Seven encoders reading

Six lube guns greasing

***Five linear guides***

Four high-flex cables

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

LC 115 and LC 415 sealed linear encoders

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the eighth day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Eight motors turning

Seven encoders reading

Six lube guns greasing

***Five linear guides***

Four high-flex cables

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

 

On the ninth day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Nine cylinders hissing

Eight motors turning

Seven encoders reading

Six lube guns greasing

***Five linear guides***

Four high-flex cables

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

Air Cylinder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the tenth day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Ten ball screws spinning

Nine cylinders hissing

Eight motors turning

Seven encoders reading

Six lube guns greasing

***Five linear guides***

Four high-flex cables

Three phase power

Two feedback loops

And a design layout in 3D

 

On the eleventh day of Christmas

An Engineer gave to me

Eleven robots dancing

Ten ball screws spinning

Nine cylinders hissing

Eight motors turning

Seven encoders reading

Six lube guns greasing

***Five linear guides***

Four high-flex cables
