659 Pleating machine.
This custom build machine was ordered by an
alternative energy company in Burnaby BC. The
designed function of the machine was to "pick and
place" graphite cells and overlay a membrane
material. Being a custom prototype machine, the
configuration of the machine components, the desired
sequencing , as well as user interface was updated
frequently. By keeping the code as modular as
possible I was able to efficiently update the logic
to suit the evolution of the machine. Programming the
motion controller on this build was also a great
experience, It was a very low level system with
regards to interfacing with the logic. Reading and
writing of data registers and parameters all required
manually coded functions.
My involvement included design and coding of the
software for the user interface, motion, and logical
systems. Selection, configuration and installation of
electrical and electronic components. Design and
wiring of the control cabinet. Developing
schematic.
