Robotised Conveyor System
This conveyor system was designed and built by
the student. Two conveyors are running in opposite
directions, and when a component comes to the end
of the first, it stops and a robot arm, picks it
up and transports it to the other conveyor.
This student wanted to build a device for filling
fluids into bottles. The bottle is pressed into
position and the nozzle drops into place and delivers
the correct quantity of fluid into it.
This student was interested in developing an automated
system for cleaning out of rooms on a building site.
This prototype was made to be put into a room and
by driving itself forward until it hit a wall it
would sweep out the room. When a wall was hit it
would turn itself around by a certain amount and
go in a new direction, hence cleaning the entire
room.

Automatic swarf compactor
This student identified a need for compacting
the swarf coming off the milling machines in his
factory. The swarf would drop onto a conveyor and
be fed into this compactor, when it reached a certain
level, the conveyor would be stopped and the piston
made to move downwards compressing the swarf. This
would save the operator in that he would empty the
waste bin less frequently
