The Development of the Automatic Gripper for Palm Leaf Manuscripts for Digital Photography

Abstract

The palm leaf scripture is important document. The materials used in production are more durable than paper which contains cellulose as an element. There is a chance of being damaged. The conservation of the palm scripture is preserve important information that will last forever. Storing those historical data can be done by storing them in the form of digital photos. Therefore, the research team has brought information in various fields Enter the design process by studying data and collecting data. Set the machine's working procedures determine the scope of the machine and the selection of various working mechanisms from various operations. Then get the machine work as follows. There is a scripture support set that has been separated and will move upwards until it hits the head. After that, the suction nozzle will suck on the top sheet of scripture. The set supports the stack of scripture sheets to scroll down. The suction nozzle will move the scripture pad to the support base for shooting. After that, the palm leaf sheet will be placed on support, the first support unit is pressed against the ground to avoid the shadows below. After that, the camera will record the image when recording. Scripture plates will be dropped into a collection box by mechanism. After the design is complete, create and test the machine. It was found that the experiments of the automatic grips and grinders for digital photography were the designed working mechanism can be operated as intended and taking each sheet takes 30.1 seconds and the image is clear and satisfactory
