Christmas Balls Packing Machine

For my exam and everybody in the 4th year of Engineering (about 60 students) we needed too design, build and deliver a working Christmas balls packing machine in a time span of 10 weeks time. Here you guys can see an overshot of the machine.

 

Its was build in 14 separate segments. With magazines, encoding, filling stations, box sealing, palletizers and pallet sealing.

 

I personally worked on a palletizer and as the mechanical engineer of my group, I was mainly responsible for the CAD drawings, frame and conveyor line.

 

I also uploaded a video of it working to Youtube for anyone that is interested.

Of every project that I have done at my school in the last 4 years this was the most fun to do. It was a pain at times, I made a several long days. But it was a great project to end with.

 

Because at this moment I'm busy with my final internship and will be done with school in May, if everything goes as planned and then it will be really the end of my school life. Because I'm planning to start working after I'm done.
