Senior Design Team sdmay19-12 • Automatic Solder Dispenser
WelcomeThis is the web page for Senior Design Team sdmay19-12. Our task is to build an Automatic Solder Dispenser for ETG at Iowa State University. The purpose of this project is to provide a more efficient way for students to get solder from ETG. The machine will hold multiple rolls of various solder diameters and flux types. When a student makes a request, the machine will cut a specified length of solder and dispense it for the student. The following image shows a solder cutter prototype given to us by our client. The assembly consists of two servo motors and a cigar cutter. When connected to a micro-controller, the servo motors can move the cutter's blades. A demonstration of how the cutter works can be seen in the link found directly below the image. Solder Cutting Video
