AUTOMATIC HIGH SPEED OBJECT COUNTER

SYNOPSIS

In our project “AUTOMATIC HIGH SPEED OBJECT COUNTER” beings

with an introduction, it’s various applications. The conveyor will operate only the work
pieces kept in the conveyor only.

INTRODUCTION

This is an era of automation where it is broadly defined as replacement of manual

effort by mechanical power in all degrees of automation. The operation remains an
essential part of the system although with changing demands on physical input as the
degree of mechanization is increased.
Degrees of automation are of two types, viz.

Full automation.
Semi automation.
In semi automation a combination of manual effort and mechanical power is
required whereas in full automation human participation is very negligible.

WORKING OPERATION

The 12 volt power supply is used to drive the permanent magnet D.C motor. The
two conveyor roller is fixed to the two ends of the frame stand with the help of end
bearing (6202) with bearing cap. The conveyor roller shaft is coupled to the D.C.
permanent magnet motor with the help of spur gear mechanism. This total arrangement is
used to transfer the material from one place to another place with the help of conveyor.
 There are one sets of IR sensors are used, one for used to on/off the motor depends
upon the work piece is kept or not in the conveyor. The conveyor will operate only the
work pieces kept in the conveyor only. The remaining time the conveyor will be in off
condition . Another one IR sensor is used to detect the material and giving control signal
to the control unit. The IR transmitter and IR receiver circuit is used to sense the material.
It is fixed to the frame stand with a suitable arrangement. This mechanism is also
adjustable with the help of bolt and nut.

ADVANTAGES

 Quick response is achieved

 Simple in construction
 Easy to maintain and repair
 Cost of the unit is less when compared to other robotics
 No fire hazard problem due to over loading
 Comparatively the operation cost is less
 Continuous operation is possible without stopping

DISADVANTAGES

 Battery operated one so we can recharge the battery frequently

APPLICATIONS

The Conveyor Feed has a wide application in low cost automation industries. It
can be used in automated assembly lines to carry up the finished product from
workstation and place them in bins. It can also be used to pick raw material and place
them on the conveyor belts.
