This research examines the process and challenges associated with the addition of an autonomous transfer robot to a manufacturing line for AvCarb Material Solutions for use in production of pyrolytic graphite. Development of the system included the design and fabrication of an end-effector, selection of a SCA RA robotic arm, and incorporation of a vision system. The arm and the end-effector were tested to see if material would shift during transfer. The entire system was tested for repeatability and transfer time. The results of the test indicted that the transfer system would successfully meet specifications with high process capability given by a Cpk of 1.47. by Chase Olle. M.
