PROJECT REPORT

This project consists in elaborating a PCB milling machine. During the elaboration of this project I worked in several different areas. I helped elaborate the mechanical structure, the one that we will present during the second term exposition of the advances that we have made during the partial. The mechanical structure was previously designed in AutoCAD, we based on that model and we started elaborating each one of the axis that we needed, after that we proceeded to assemble all of the parts and we finally obtained our mechanical structure. I also helped elaborating the electronic potency PCB that we will when we move our stepper motors. Elaborating the documentation of our project was one of my main tasks during the partial. Working as a team has been fun, we’ve learned each one of us from each other, and that has helped our friends relationship.
This project will conclude in June, we expect that our Cartesian Robot works perfectly by that time.
