Designed and built a chain-driven vertical lift with linear rails. The structure was a steel weldment made from laser-cut tubes. Much attention was spent designing and testing the safety system, which operated with a resistive rubber trim sensor and a COTS certified safety controller. The closed-loop position control was accomplished with a custom Arduino program and shaft-mounted encoder. The drive was a brushed 24VDC motor with worm-box. The electronics package included a custom PCB interconnection board.
