Bring a miniature industrial automation mechanism to your desk!

This mechanical Pick & Place mechanism demonstrates how rotary motion can be converted into controlled linear and oscillating motion using a system of cams, links, shafts, and pivots.

Designed as both an educational mechanical model and a decorative kinetic display, it is perfect for makers, engineers, students, 3D-printing enthusiasts, and anyone who loves mechanical mechanisms.
