Currently I am doing my final year project and I need to simulate an automated lubricant dispenser for a CNC Tank (the tank which located behind the machine). Not to be confuse, I am not modding or changing the lubricant system in the machine but I am trying to find an automated way to ensure that no manual labor needed to refill the tank weekly.
The aim of my research is to simulate a working dispensing system that can refill the tank automatically and monitor the amount of lubricant use during each refill.
Does anyone know a software that enable me to simulate the project? or should I just make a mini prototype of the system using arduino?
Dear Muhammad Hanis Khairuddin,
I suggest you to see links and attached files on subject.

Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi Thank you for your answer. I appreciate it but I think it does not exactly what I am looking for. sorry for getting you confused as my poor English, the automatic lubricant dispenser is not what I am looking but rather a automatic lubricant Refill is the word for it. My research is mainly focused on how to automatically refill the CNC lubricant tank at the back of the machine not the making it automatically dispensing the lubricant at a certain place. I added the photo of the tank to make it clear. Thank you for the help and I appreciate it a lot
A physical working prototype is always better even if it is controlled using an Arduino. However, there are software which may be able to help you. I think you should look for Automation Studio from Famic Technologies. Although such software are expensive when you are looking for full versions which will be must for your application. There are others too similar to Automation Studio.
