Automatic Workpart Transfer Mechanism

Abstract

Abstract: The main concept behind our project is replacement of treadmill mechanism for small scale industries which is fully automated, functional, easy to use, highly accessible and easily maintainable. There is a serious demand for mechanisms for movement of packages in the industries right from the start to end. The advantage of our system over the conveyor system is that the system has a time delay between moving packages and this delay can be used to introduce any alterations in the package or move the package for any other purposes. While in conveyor system such actions cannot be performed unless programmed module is used to produce intermittent stopping of the belt which basically is costly. Here we are working to convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion by means of a single slider crank mechanism this prototype is solely based on four bar mechanism. Conventional conveyer systems consist of belts, large input/output motors etc. which increases the initial cost as well as maintenance cost. The results from this project can be used by many small-scale industries and in-house industries where conveyor system is not accessible
