Abstract
This study discusses the design and construction of an automatic handling station to interlace two-part printed circuit boards (PCBs), with special attention to the methodology of constructing its handling nodes. The valuable result of this work is a presentation of the acquired cognitive experience with centric grippers and a new approach to gripping fingers. At the same time, the work describes an overview of the current state of the mechanisms of single-purpose machines. The task is to design a structure of a horizontal manipulator, a stopper for the PCB bed plates, a two-axis manipulator and a gripping head focusing on a sustainable production process. The concept of individual parts' arrangement, interactions, and resulting parameters have been developed following the stated requirements. The design meets all requirements in terms of simplicity of construction, adjustment, reliability of grasping, non-damage of the manipulated part, and sustainability of the whole manufacturing process.
