Project Background

The Mission:

The project focuses on designing and assembling a reliable system to consistently transmit power from a servo motor to an abrasive polishing disk for a research initiative at Central Connecticut State University. The primary goal was to engineer and optimize a servo-driven power transmission system that minimizes vibration from external sources, ensuring smoother operation and improved precision. This work supports the broader objective of developing a fully autonomous robotic arm capable of manufacturing aircraft turbine blades, consistency and accuracy which are critical to reducing the number of defective or scrapped parts that helps reduce cost and time spent machining.
