Implementation analysis of vacuum area gripping system in pick and place machinery in wooden door company

Companies must grow in order to boost efficiency and production quality due to competition in the wood industry, particularly in the production of increasingly hard wooden doors. The issue that businesses face frequently is the occurrence of product flaws during the manufacture of wooden doors. A method for lifting, positioning, and moving door goods has been created by PT XYZ, one of the export-quality wooden door firms. By reducing product flaws, this study hopes to raise the quality of wooden doors. The pick and place machine's grasping system is the primary cause of the high prevalence of impairment. There are specific flaws in the door-gripping mechanism that increase the likelihood of product failures from falling and workplace accidents. After reworking the vacuum area gripping system, which uses suction technology, one of the Schmalz brands manufactured in Germany is outfitted with an external suction motor as a source of suction energy. The tool can lift loads up to 50 kg in accordance with specifications at a consistent speed, according to development results

Design and Development of Overhead Water Tank Cleaning Machine

Abstract: To design a overhead water tank cleaning machine which will be able to remove sand and mud (SEDIMENTS) from the bottom of the tank without fully emptying the tank. While cleaning overhead tank, we have to remove all water from the tank and one has to enter the tank and clean it manually. Generally, it has been observed that mud and sand particles are settled down to the bottom of the tank. It is difficult to clean the tank in a week due to which the taps and pipes gets damaged. Emptying the tank all the time is a waste of water and time. We have an idea to clean the tank when it is partially filled. In our project we are saving time and no need to enter into the tank, it will be cleaned weekly or whenever needed. Aim of this project is to develop a mechanical system for cleaning domestic cylindrical water tank. The mechanical system uses PVC pipe arrangement for stand and water suction arrangement. A box attached to the suction motor with help of PVC pipe arrangement. Initially, after starting the suction motor it sucks the clean water at the same moments put off the motor and placed the pipe with box attached to bottom there is vacuum created and due capillary action bottom sediments with muddy water getting suck. In this way, the box is moved total bottom area of tank by using some arrangement and to clean the tank. The purpose of this project is to reduce the human efforts and to avoid the chemical influence on health of person entering the tank for cleaning.

Design of Steel Plate Grasping Vacuum Equipment on TruLaser 3030 with Servo Motor

A vacuum gripper is a device that uses a vacuum cup as a suction device and holds the workpiece load so that the workpiece can go through the process of moving from one position to another. In this research, the gripping vacuum is the main tool in the sheet metal material transfer machine so that the material can be easily moved from the wooden pallet to the TruLaser 3030 fiber machine table. The process of making this machine design requires careful calculation of the formula so that the appropriate machine components are obtained to lift material loads. The components needed in the design of this machine include a gripper vacuum, servo motor, load-bearing shaft, transmission drive, gear transmission, and a steel frame using a 300 x 300 Wide Flange Beam as a support for the whole machine. The sheet metal material used as the load is SS400 material sheet metal with a thickness of 15 mm and an area dimension of 2.44 m x 1.22 m. For this reason, strong components are needed and can withstand vertical and horizontal loads from the movement of materials and the load of the sheet metal material itself. It is recommended to use a suction motor on a gripping vacuum with a suction power of 48 m3/hour and electric power of 1.3 kW. In addition, the servo motor used must be able to withstand a load of 350 kg with a design power of 171.7 watts and a torque of 93 Nm, and straight gears with a ratio of 4:3.

Experimental Study On Counting Of Eggs In Egg Breaking System And Level Maintenance In Collecting Tanks

The food industry is a global collective of diverse businesses that supply much of the food energy consumed by the world population. Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods available. The versatility of eggs means that they are an important ingredient in many food products including cakes, sauces, desserts and sandwiches. In egg processing industry the approximate amount of egg processed is 14, 00,500 eggs per day including wastages. But there is no accurate method to measure the broke eggs excluding the wastages. Our Project enhances the correct measurement and provides the data that how much eggs can be break to improve the amount of egg powder produced. Our project also includes the level maintenance the collecting tank which collects yolk, albumen and whole egg separately after breaking the eggs and the suction motor can be operated automatically when the level reaches the required level, this helps in complete automation in the industry by using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).

Modeling and Experimental Analysis of Suction Pressure Generated by Active Suction Chamber Based Wall Climbing Robot with a Novel Bottom Restrictor

The large numbers of research are carried out in the field of wall climbing robots. These wall-climbing robots are utilized for variety of applications including hazardous operations. The wall-climbing robots must be capable of manoeuvring in different wall surfaces without sacrificing its mobility. For such capabilities, wall-climbing robots should be enabled with proper adhesion mechanism such as suction based absorption technology. In this paper, the modeling and experimental analysis of suction pressure generated inside the suction chamber with different suction chamber contours is analyzed. In this study, a novel bottom restrictor is included at the bottom of the designed suction chamber. The suction motor, suction chamber with different contours and bottom restrictor is modelled using 3D Solidworks software and performance analysis were done using FLU-EFD computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package. The impact on the adhesion efficiency of the climbing robot with the designed bottom restrictor is experimentally evaluated and tested on non-plastered brick walls.

Development and Analysis of Robotic Sliding Suction Cup System for Wall Climbing Applications

Background/Objectives:The wall climbing robots normally uses suction cups for adhering to the wall surface. The conventional suction cup system using common suction generator suffers from the failure of centralized suction motor. The practically realized climbing robots with on board suction generator are limited with single suction chamber due to load and power limitations. Methods/Statistical analysis: In the proposed work, the climbing robot is realized with two on board suction motors to cater two chambers. Each suction motor is integrated with a suction cup with suitable skirting. A drive system with flat rubber wheels enables the robot to move on smooth surfaces. The design concept of dual suction cup enables safe mobility through adaptive control and ensures the robot functions even any one suction generator fails or encounters higher leakage. This arrangement provides the required negative pressure for cup individually to adhere to the wall. An adaptive control scheme is developed and implemented by interactively controlling the suction cups negative pressure by varying the speed of the corresponding suction motor. This paper also discusses about its basic mathematical analysis, the simulation of the model and the prototype wall climbing robot. Findings: The simulation of the robot is performed using Matlab Simulink Software and also realized with hardware components using an embedded controller, pressure sensors and drive motors. It is observed through simulation that by varying the speed of the suction motor, the negative pressure in the suction cup system can be controlled. The simulation result for the complete holding of the suction cup system considering the frictional forces is found to be -70.25 kPa. The sliding and drop off negative pressure levels by allowing a minimum suction leakage percentage is found by performing simulation. These pressure level values are compared with the experimental suction cup system and found to be closer. Application/ Improvements: The developed climbing robot can be deployed for various inspection tasks of concrete walls, high rise buildings, steel structures etc., The payload capacity of the robot can be still improved by optimizing the pressure levels in the chambers.

Quantifying zooplankton species: use of richness estimators

ABSTRACT Richness estimators (Jackknife 1, Bootstrap, Chao 1 and ACE) were used to relate zooplankton species richness with amount of water collected per sample and number of samples throughout the year for the limnetic region of Sapucai River compartment of Furnas reservoir, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Seven 100 L samples were collected in sequence using a motor pump, and seven 70 L samples were collected in sequence using a plankton net (68 μm mesh size) in vertical hauls, to totalize 450 L, in three stations of the reservoir. Twelve monthly samplings were carried out over a year. The assessment of richness was made by analyzing the asymptotic behavior of the estimator curves. The samplings reached the asymptote from 350 L of collection with trawls and 400 L using a suction motor pump and reached the plateau on the 8th collection, which included both dry and rainy seasons. Regardless of the type of sampling, the volume of 400 L and eight sessions throughout the year is enough to register 90% of the zooplankton richness in the environment.

Prey Capture in Actinopterygian Fishes: A Review of Suction Feeding Motor Patterns with New Evidence from an Elopomorph Fish, Megalops atlanticus1

Abstract Suction feeding is recognized as the dominant mode of aquatic prey capture in fishes. While much work has been done identifying motor pattern variations of this behavior among diverse groups of actinopterygian fishes, many ray-finned groups are still not represented. Further, the substantial amount of inherent variation in electromyography makes much of the pioneering work of suction feeding motor patterns in several basal groups insufficient for evolutionary comparisons. Robust evolutionary comparisons have identified conserved qualitative traits in the order of muscle activation during suction feeding (jaw opening > buccal cavity expansion > jaw closing). However, quantitative traits of suction motor patterns (i.e., burst durations and relative onset times) have changed over evolutionary time among actinopterygian fishes. Finally, new motor pattern evidence is presented from a previously neglected group, the Elopomorpha. The results suggest that future investigations of the muscles influencing ...

Vibroisolating apparatus of vacuum cleaner

The present invention relates to a vibroisolating apparatus for a vacuum cleaner adapted to absorb and inhibit the vibrations generated in a suction motor from being transmitted to a body of the vacuum cleaner to thereby reduce the noise resulting from the vibration to a minimum, and at the same time, to improve the ease of assembling and to decrease manufacturing cost by way of a simplified construction. The vibration generated in the suction motor during operations is absorbed and inhibited at a front side of the motor by a vibroisolating ring which is tightly disposed between a front motor case and the suction motor. The vibration is also absorbed and inhibited at a rear side of the motor by the rear surface packing which is disposed between a rear motor case and the motor. The apparatus thereby reduces generation of noise resulting from the vibration of the suction motor to a minimum and provides for relatively silent operation of the vacuum cleaner.

A method of obtaining blood from white mice

The authors developed a method of obtaining blood (nonhemolyzed serum) from the caudal blood vessels of white mice in amounts sufficient for serological and immunological examinations. A glass bulb was connected to a suction motor to reduce the pressure. This method permits systematic and repeated blood drawing (3.1–3.9 ml of blood from 10 mice)-5 times at intervals of 2–5 days. Blood drawing performed by method does not affect the condition of the mice and permits them to be used for other investigations.
