This project is a 2-axis (X–Z) pick and place automation system developed as a mechatronics learning and prototyping project. The system performs sequential motion control for automated object handling.

• X–Z axis linear motion
• Stepper motor–driven positioning
• Homing sequence for repeatable motion
• Vacuum-based pick mechanism
• Sequential task execution logic

• Control board
• Stepper motors and drivers
• Linear rails and belt mechanism
• Vacuum pump and solenoid valve
• Power supply units

1. Homing (X axis → Z axis)
2. Z axis up
3. X axis forward
4. Z axis down
5. Vacuum ON
6. Z axis up
7. X axis return

As an experimental add-on, the system can also be controlled remotely via a mobile application using Blynk and ESP32’s Wi-Fi capability.

This feature was added as a quick weekend experiment and is not part of the core system design.

Completed – open for further improvements and extensions.

This project was developed for educational purposes to gain hands-on experience
