ORBIT-Inspect — Structural Analysis & Motion Control Simulation

Engineering analysis and control simulation for the ORBIT-Inspect six-axis inspection fixture. This project investigates how loads, structural compliance, mechanism geometry, and control behavior affect the positioning of a gripped component. Project scope: • Load calculations and assessment of critical operating conditions. • Component finite element analysis with native SOLIDWORKS Simulation studies, saved results, and mesh-convergence comparisons. • System-level calculations for stiffness, stability, and positioning-error sensitivity. • Motion-control simulations covering trajectory tracking, settling behavior, fault response, and gripper interlocks. • Workspace and clearance checks, together with actuator duty and thermal-load estimates. • Documented design revisions, correction records, and an engineering report with formatted equations and result plots. The downloadable package includes native analysis files, calculation scripts, and supporting data. Component FEA results and system-level analytical predictions are identified separately so that the methods and assumptions remain clear. Engineering by Peep Hong.
