PROBLEM STATEMENT
Currently, the pump assembly is made at PSG Industrial institute in
workshop mode. Since all the material handling process are manual, this
manual transportation leads to

 Loss of productivity(In general,80% of time is spent for material handling).

 Economical loss(In general,20% of total cost is material handling cost)
 Damage to the parts which will lead to rejection of components.

OBJECTIVES
1. To design and develop conveyor system for pump testbed demonstrator.
2. Design and transform conveyor system into IoT enabled that automates the
material handling process and prevents the damage to the parts.
3. Enable either using HMI or Mobile to control speed, stop/start conveyor.
4. Design and develop Augmented Reality APPs for the (2) and (3).

CALCULATIONS

BELT PARAMETERS:
LENGTH OF THE BELT = 4.57m
WIDTH OF THE BELT = 0.305m
THICKNESS OF THE BELT = 0.007m
DENSITY OF RUBBER = 1360 Kg/m3
MASS OF ONE UNIT = 35Kg

CALCULATIONS
BELT CALCULATIONS:
MASS OF THE BELT = (L×W×T) × 1360 Kg/m3
= 4.57×0.305×0.007 × 1360
= 13.26 Kg
MASS OF MATERIAL ON BELT = 35 × 3 = 105Kg
TOTAL WEIGHT = 105+13.26 = 118.26Kg
REQUIRED BELT PULL = 118.26 × 0.5 = 59.13Kg

CALCULATIONS
REQUIRED POWER = BELT PULL × BELT SPEED
= 59.13 × 30m/min ( i.e.., Belt speed = 0.5m/s)
= 1773.9 Kgm/min
= 1773.9/4573.17 = 0.38 HP (0.283Kw)
(i.e., 1HP = 33000ftlbs/min = 33000/3.28/2.2=4573.17 Kgm/min)

SELECTION OF MOTOR

MOTOR SELECTED : STEPPER MOTOR

REASON FOR SELECTION: 1. PRECISE CONTROL

2. HIGH TORQUE
3. EASY SPEED CONTROL
4. CAPABLE OF DRIVING HEAVY
LOAD

SELECTION OF SENSORS

 The objective of the sensors is to detect when an object is conveyed to the

end of the conveyor mechanism setup.
 The sensors which detect the motion of the objects include,
• Proximity Sensor
• Light Dependent Sensor
• Photoelectric Sensors

Among these sensors, Proximity sensor is considered to be the most

suitable sensor for our application.
Since, the objective of the sensor is to detect the object and return the
signal to relay then Proximity sensor is best choice for selection.
LDR sensors has disadvantages like narrow spectral response and
Hysteresis effect and hence not suitable
In, Photo electric sensors, sensing range may be affected due to the
colour and reflectivity of the target.

SELECTION OF PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

• The objective of the programming language selection is to configure and
interface the IoT with the stepper motor used.
• There are several programming languages used for Arduino. They include
C,C++, java.
• The programming language selected is C++. C++ is better than C , since
C is a low level language , and not objected oriented.
• C++ is chosen over java for its speed and performance.
• The IDE(Integrated Development Environment) used is Arduino IDE.

CONCLUSION
• In phase-I, the selection of belt material , belt parameters and type of motor
are done. The motor power calculations and conveyor mechanism
simulation is completed.
• The selection of sensors , programming language and source code for the
Arduino is developed.
• In phase-II, the implementation of conveyor mechanism on the test bed will
be completed.
• The conveyor system will be tested by placing the pump and their
performance will be observed.
