Multi machine operation with product sorting and elimination of defective product along with packaging by their colour and dimension with speed control of motors

摘要

In today's world of technology and due to speed running industries, automated machine is increased in this globalised world. Over the years, the demand increases for high quality, greater efficiency and automatic machines. Generally, manufacturing industries keep manufacturing same models with little variation in height, colour, weight, shape. And here sorting plays an important role. In such cases industries can't bare human errors for sorting these products. Thus it becomes necessary to develop Low Cost Automation (LCA) for sorting these products in accurate manner. Industrial automation mainly focuses on developing automations having low cost, low maintenance, long durability and to make systems user friendly as possible. And controlling various machines like different motors at the same time becomes a difficult task. Finally, here we have developed a LCA system for Multi machine operation and sorting the light weight objects on the basis of height variation using DC geared motors along with induction motor and stepper motors which is controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and the conveyor in the system passes the object in front of sensors and thus sorting logic is decided. The project mainly focuses on level, positioning, speed and flow control at the various stages of the project plant.
