Abstract
This paper presents the development of a robotic arm for gripping workpieces using an automatic pneumatic system. It can be controlled and displayed via a web server function. The design of the structure of the robotic arm has a size and proportion similar to an automatic control system in industry. The pneumatic robotic arm structure was drawn using SketchUp in 3D and the pneumatic control circuit was simulated using Automation Studio 5.0 to confirm the operation. A programmable logic controller, MELSEC IQ FX5U 32 I/O PLC, is used, which can be controlled and displayed via the web server function. The results of the designed automatic pneumatic robotic arm system were compared with the performance of the Fiber Optic Proximity Sensor, Optical Proximity Sensor, and Photo Proximity Sensor, respectively. The test results confirm the operation of the designed automatic pneumatic robotic arm system which can be applied as teaching media
