Mechanical System Design and Integration

Mechanical system design involves 1) the design of mechanical components—such as fixtures, grippers, palettes, brackets, and feeders—that link or facilitate the operation of mechanical systems; and 2) final integration, installation, and testing of an automated system. Types of systems include:

  • Material Handling Systems
  • Material Transfer Systems
  • Inspection Systems
