Fabrication of Semi_Automated Box Transport Mechanism

Abstract

The main concept behind our project is replacement of treadmill mechanism for small scale industries which is fully functional, easy to use, highly accessible and easily maintainable. The answer for this is Box Transport Mechanism as it is a construction of links and joints it is easy to construct and to maintain. compared to treadmill it is cheap and efficient. The results from this project can be used by many small-scale industries and in-house industries where conveyor system is not accessible. This invention relates to improvements in transfer and conveying devices, and it relates particularly to devices for transferring set-up cardboard boxes from a box folding or forming machine to the operator of a semi-automatic box wrapping machine. Many manufacturers who wrap or cover cardboard boxes for packaging candies, cakes, and other confections, cosmetics and other articles require this setup. These set-up boxes are transferred by means of a conveyor to an operator, who picks up the boxes and places and centers them on wrappers with which the boxes are to be covered. The boxes and wrappers are then conveyed to a box wrapping machine where the wrapper is folded around and glued to the box. Usually, the operation of the wrapping machine is controlled by means of a switch actuated by the box forming machine so that their operating speeds are related to each other
