Bsc: Internship Mechatronics/Mechanical - First In First Out sheet Buffer unit

This internship assignment in Mechatronics/Mechanical Engineering focuses on developing a proof-of-principle test setup for a First In First Out sheet buffer unit.

This assignment is also suitable for a duo.

Your assignment

We transport a lot of loose printed sheets in our highly productive printers. Sometimes we want to store these sheets for a short time before we can release them back into the production flow. For this we are interested in some kind of buffer unit.

This buffer must be able to temporarily store a small number of sheets. The assignment is to develop a test setup proof of principle. The biggest challenge is that the unit must be compact, highly productive and the sheets that are put in first must also be able to be released first (First In First Out).

If you are interested, creative and not afraid of a challenge, then this is an ideal assignment. It is quite a big challenge, which is why this assignment could also be carried out by a duo.
