Fanuc Pencil Arm Support
This is a pencil holder for the FANUC ER-4iA robot, designed to be used at different angles. We included multiple inclinations (45° and 60°) so that the operator can choose the most comfortable working position.
Supplies
We used Creo, the QIDI Plus 4 3D printer with PLA material, an M4 tap wrench, and M4 grub screws.
First Attempts
Initially, we were assigned the task of creating a support for the FANUC ER-4iA robotic arm at school, so we proceeded to create the first drafts, mating the arm's interface plate with the pencil holder.
Creo
Initially, we followed our original idea and proceeded to design it in Creo. The first designs were incorrect, so we had to change several dimensions and proportions before arriving at the final product.
3D Printing and Testing
We initially printed the product with incorrect dimensions, so we had to reprint it with the proper measurements to ensure it would fit the robotic arm. Finally, to secure and tighten the pencil, we threaded the small holes in the pencil slot, thus completing the product
