3-Disc Pill Singulation Dispenser (Vertical Discs)

1. The Horizontal Disc Problem In your CAD, the blue singulation discs are lying completely flat (horizontally) directly above the collection tray. If a pill drops from the yellow funnel into the blue slot, it will land directly on the flat surface of the tray. When the servo motor rotates the blue disc, it will merely drag the pill in a circle across the tray. Because there is no drop-hole underneath the disc, the pill will never actually exit the mechanism. The Fix: Rotate the blue discs 90 degrees on their axis so they stand vertically (like a Ferris wheel). Mount the servos horizontally against the acrylic gantry wall. In a vertical setup, the yellow funnel drops the pill into the slot at the "12 o'clock" position. When the servo rotates 90 degrees, gravity forces the pill to fall out of the slot and down into the tray. 2. The Flat Collection Tray Your light blue collection tray is modeled with a completely flat floor. Even if a pill successfully drops onto it, it will just sit there rather than exiting the robot. The Fix: You must design a steep slope (like a ramp) into the floor of the tray. The back of the tray needs to be significantly higher than the front so that gravity automatically catches the pills and rolls them forward and out through the small front spout. 3. Funnel Mounting Alignment The L-shaped mounting tabs you added to the back of the yellow funnels are excellent for structural stability. Once you change the blue discs to a vertical orientation, ensure these L-brackets sit perfectly flush against the flat acrylic cross-beam of your gantry so you can bolt them down securely.
