Boxes

Prototyping

Mechanics

For the mechanism we looked in to different systems. We compared them to each other with advatages and disadvantages. In the end we choose for a system with little actuators driving a thread where element can move over this threat. This element is also connected to the thread in the neigbhoring box. In this way it is possible for the boxes to move completely up and down.

For this principle we use normal actuators. To give some indication a actuator with 1200n will:

- Have a size around 40mm*750mm

- Cost around 100 euro

- selflocking 800n
