claw machine

thingiverse

I designed and built my own claw machine from scratch. The frame is constructed from aluminum profiles, while the drawer rail is a custom-made component that I assembled myself. I also created the tongs using a servo motor, which allows for precise control over the movement of the claws. The entire system is powered by an Arduino board, connected to a CNC shield and a step motor, all of which work together seamlessly to execute my commands. Additionally, I integrated an end stop switch to prevent the machine from moving too far, ensuring safe operation at all times.
