Using WASPAS Method for Scissors Mechanism Selection

Commonly seen in industrial and production equipment is a lift table which is used a scissors mechanism to kick objects. Numerous structures (or schematics) have been presented in the scissors mechanism. Each structure will generate a unique set of results while having the same initial variables. Consequently, selecting the right system is crucial when developing an ideal lift device. This study employed the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method for selecting the optimal layout of the machine that would simultaneously satisfy the goals of the minimal lifting time and the highest lifting force. Also, the weighted aggregates sum product assessment (WASPAS) technique has been applied for conducting the MCDM task for nine lift table schema using the entropy manner to determine the criterion weights. The greatest lift device structure was finally introduced.
