The use of robotic systems in consumer goods industry has increased over recent years. However, food industry has not taken to the robotics technology with the same desire as in other industries due to technical and commercial reasons. Difficulties in matching human speed and flexibility, variable nature of food products, high production volume rates, lack of appropriate end-effectors, high initial investment rate of the so-called systems and low margins in food products are still blocking the range of use of robotics in food industry. In this thesis study, as a contribution to the use of robotic systems in food industry, a secondary packaging robotic system is designed. The system is composed of two basic subsystems: a dual-axis controlled robotic arm and a special-purpose gripper. Mechanical and control systems design of basic subsystems are performed within the scope of the study. During the designing process, instead of using classical design methods, modern computer-aided design and engineering tools are utilized.

Nanoscale Thermal Transport in Single, Bilayer Graphene, and Graphite Gholivand, Hamed; Donmezer, Nazli (2016-10-12) In this study, ab-initio calculations were performed to obtain phonon dispersions of single, bilayer graphene, and graphite structures. Using these dispersions single mode relaxation times, thermal conductivities, and mean free paths (MFPs) have been calculated. Finally, calculated variables were used to understand the effects of additional layers to thermophysical properties, phonon mode contributions to thermal conductivity, and the limits for ballistic-diffusive heat transfer of single, bilayer graphene,...
Demonstration of a stabilized hovering platform for undergraduate laboratory Çamlıca, Fahri Buğra; Erden, Abdülkadir; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) This research work covers the design, manufacture and testing of an unmanned aerial vehicle for the purpose of testing various control systems by undergraduate students in the laboratory environment. The aerial vehicle under consideration is a four-rotor propeller powered. Aluminum rod based mechanical structure is preferred. The stabilization of the hovering vehicle in its rotational axes in the air and navigation about the yaw axis are the accomplished goals of this study. The aerial vehicle is run in rea...
Improved Situational Awareness for Power Distribution Systems Based on WLAV Estimator and Direct Load Flow Solution Parlaktuna, Kemal; Dursun, Erk; Cinalioglu, Mustafa Cihan; Göl, Murat (2022-01-01) With high renewable penetration, increasing popularity of electrical vehicles and rapid growth of electrical system especially in urban areas, modern distribution power systems are becoming more complex. Having situational awareness of the system is crucial for system operator both to have knowledge on the current state of the system and where to improve infrastructure. In this paper an application of a situational awareness tool for an active distribution power system is discussed. Improvements on the info...
Investigation of flow and heat transfer behavior of integrated pin fin-aluminum foam heat sink ŞAHİN, Yiğit Serkan; TOPRAK, Beytullah İsmet; SOLMAZ, İsmail; Bayer, Özgür (2023-01-01) With the rapid development in the electronics industry, the thermal management of high power density elec-tronic products (HPDEPs) has become very important and requires innovative heat removal technologies. In this study, an integrated heat sink (IHS) fabricated by combining aluminum foam and pin-finned heat sink config-urations that are frequently used in the cooling of electronic products has been proposed as an effective solution for the thermal management of HPDEPs. The heat removal and pressure drop c...
Haptic device design Başer, Özgür; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) Haptic devices are used to provide multi-modal data transfer between haptic users and computers in virtual reality applications. They enable humans to take force and tactile feedback from any virtual or remote objects. Haptic devices also facilitate the use of data collected from a real object in the virtual environment. Usage of the haptic devices increase more and more in industrial, educational and medical applications in parallel with development of virtual reality technology. As virtual reality technol...
