Automation

Driscoll’s BRIX Automation

Our team was tasked with creating a self-cleaning system capable of juicing and straining berries to help automate Driscoll’s Brix measurement process.

CNC Feed Drive

The goal of this senior project was to design a linear actuator, similar to a CNC feed drive to be used as an educational tool in the Cal Poly Controls Lab and for graduate-level research.

Autonomous Foreign Object Remover for Glass Mat Fiber Feeder

The GAF, Shafter facility produces glass mat to be used as insulation for roofing. During this production process, foreign objects such as wood or fasteners can fall into the fiberglass strands. These foreign objects can damage the machines, tears in the glass mats, damage expensive components, and halt production for days. The scope of this project is to create an autonomous machine to be integrated into the GAF, Shafter production line that will consistently remove all of these foreign objects.
