Design ConceptThe primary objective of this system is to simulate a closed-loop automated assembly line. It follows a "Modular Factory" philosophy, where different robotic kinematics work in tandem to process a product.
1. Multi-Robot Integration: The design features two distinct robotic archetypes:
- Delta (Parallel) Robot: Positioned over the rear conveyor, optimized for high-speed "pick-and-place" operations.
- 6-Axis (Serial) Robot: Positioned at the front, offering a wide range of motion for complex orientation tasks or palletizing.
2. Linear Flow: Two independent conveyor belts serve as the "arteries" of the system, moving workpieces between the robotic stations.
3. Buffer & Sorting: The inclusion of small red ramps and holding bins suggests a logic-based sorting system where defective or finished parts are diverted from the main line.

Print Settings
Since this is a mechanical teaching aid with moving parts, the print settings must prioritize dimensional accuracy and structural integrity over pure speed.
1. Material PLA for stiffness/detail
2. Layer Height 0.16mm - 0.20mm, Balance between print time and smooth mechanical joints.
3. Infill 20% - 30% (Gyroid), Provides omnidirectional strength for robotic arms.
4. Wall Count 3 - 4 Walls, Essential for parts that will be tapped or hold bearings.
5. Supports Tree / Organic, Necessary for the Delta robot top plate and conveyor overhangs.
6. Tolerance Offset -0.1mm (Horizontal Expansion), Helps ensure that printed gears and shafts fit without sanding.

Assembly Guide
Assembling a multi-component system like this requires a bottom-up approach to ensure alignment.
Phase 1: The Foundation & Conveyors
- Baseplate: Secure the two conveyor frames to the base. Ensure they are perfectly parallel or perpendicular according to the CAD layout to prevent belt tracking issues.
- Drive System: Install the stepper/DC motors and the green belts. Tip: If using 3D-printed rollers, add a layer of electrical tape or a rubber sleeve to increase friction against the belt.
Phase 2: Robotic Manipulator
- Delta Robot: Assemble the three parallel arms first. The joints must move with zero friction. Attach the effector (the "head") and then mount the entire structure onto the vertical aluminum extrusion or printed pillars.
- 6-Axis Robot: Start from the base (Waist) and move upward. Ensure each axis is calibrated to its "Home" position before tightening set screws on the motor shafts.
Phase 3: Peripheral Components
- Diverters: Attach the red "chutes" and sorting bins.
- Sensors: If your simulation includes electronics, mount infrared (IR) or ultrasonic sensors at the start and end of each conveyor belt to trigger robot actions.
