ROBOT Development of a Platform for Combined Force & Position Control INTRODUCTION: CALLIGRAPHY ROBOT The calligraphy robot was developed as a proof-of-concept for a compliant platform with a control system that maintains accuracy of position. The end-effector was designed to utilize a rotary series elastic actuator (SEA) for compliance and force-sensing. The mechanical system that supported the end-effector was a gantry system designed for smooth motion and accurate positioning. The mechanical platform and force-sensing software were designed to support the full integration with a PVT controller. The PVT software that created the motion paths and controlled the accuracy of the positioning was not a part of this MQP. It was programmed by Ennio Claretti and Allen Blaylock who were part of the team that prepared this robot for the Cornell Cup Competition. The Cornell Cup Competition, presented by Intel, accepts 30 teams from universities across the United States to participate in an embedded design competition that spans one academic year and culminates in an exposition and final judging. The competition required several design reviews to be conducted over the development of the design, in order to mimic a professional engineering process. However, there is not a significant body of examples and references that are helpful guides to critically approaching the creation of a design review. The Cornell Cup design reviews formed the analytical basis for a study on the choices that must be made during their creation and the forces that influence those choices,

  • Fact Sheet on Flag 18Ct Gold Nibs
    Fact Sheet on Flag 18ct Gold Nibs One of the delights of owning a fountain pen is the individuality that can be expressed by choosing the colour of ink you use, and the type of nib you select. Your personality will show through not just in the words you use, but the visual picture your words paint on the paper. Standard Flag 18ct gold nibs Available in either Semi-Flex nibs (all gold in colour); or standard Non-Flex nibs (2-tone or all gold colour). Please note some pens are only available with Semi-Flex nibs, and others are only available with Non-Flex nibs. See website for details. Each nib is engraved with the Union Jack Flag, and the nib style (EF,F,M, B), and “18K”. All nibs have an iridium tip for smooth writing and long life. The 2-tone 18ct gold nibs are partially rhodium plated. For the non-flex nib (2-tone or all gold colour), you can select from Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, or Broad. For the Semi-Flex nibs, you can select in Fine, Medium or Broad The is the width of the writing line: o Extra Fine produces approximately a 0.35mm -0.4mm wide line of ink o Fine produces approximately a 0.45mm -0.6mm wide line of ink o Medium produces approximately a 0.65mm- 0.8mm wide line of ink o Broad produces approximately a 0.85mm – 1.0mm wide line of ink Please note: the thickness of the line depends on the pressure exerted on the pen, and the type of paper so the above is guidance only.
