ABSTRACT
Nowadays industries are playing a vital role in the national economy. So it is very important for
an industry to maintain the quality of the product they produce. So the goal of this project is to
propose an automatic system to assert the dimensional (length) accuracy of a product and the
rejection of the defective products. An ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the presence of the
object. When a product is arrived then the motor starts running and so as the conveyor belt also
starts running. Infrared Sensor detects the dimensions of the product. If the product has correct
dimensions it will be further transferred to the acceptor bin, and if not then the product is
rejected by motor actuator into the rejecter bin. This focuses on the concept of object sorting
machine using Adriano-Uno and its working. This machine can mainly be used in warehouses
and industries where certain parts such as glass bottles have to be reused and are large in
quantity. Using this machine will save the time and cost to be paid to a worker in case of sorting
the objects manually. The average sorting time for an object is 6 seconds.

CHAPTER 1:

INTRODUCTION
Conveyor system is one part of material handling equipment that transports material from one
place to another. Further the conveyor system can also be used for the acceptance and
rejection of material or product. Conveyors are used in almost all industries where materials
are to be moved. Automated conveyor systems are proved to be very useful as cost labor
wages and customer demand is increasing at a great rate. This paper is based on the project
which uses fully automated material handling system. Reasons to select automated conveyor
systems are:-

1) Saving in manpower.

2) Improvement in quality and efficiency.

3) Increment in consistency and Flexibility.

Manual handling of material could lead to the damage of product; also the worker who is to
handle the material cannot determine the fault in the product immediately by observing
through naked eyes. This process is very time consuming. Also there is the requirement of
skilled labors. So taking these problems into considerations, a fully automated material
handling system is developed. The material handling system uses conveyor belt for the
movement of product [1]. The design parameters such as belt speed, length of the belt, design
of pulley, motor selection is done [2]. IR Sensor is used to detect the presence of the product,
which then allows starting the conveyor belt [3].The system uses ultrasonic Sensors coupled to
the base frame which detects the size and movement of the product and sends the information
to Microcontroller unit [3]. A microcontroller is used to receive the signal from the ultrasonic
Sensor and to give the signal to Pneumatic actuator [4].This is done by using infrared sensors
coupled with micro controller unit.

LITERATUE SURVEY

FASTER: Fully Automated Statistical Thresholding for EEG artifact Rejection! H.


Nolan1, R. Whelan∗,1, R.B. Reilly Trinity Center for Bioengineering, Trinity College
Dublin, Ireland

Electroencephalogram (EEG) data are typically contaminated with artifacts (e.g., by eye
movements). The effect of artifacts can be attenuated by deleting data with amplitudes over a
certain value, for example. Independent component analysis (ICA) separates EEG data into
neural activity and artifact; once identified; art factual components can be deleted from the data.
Often, artifact rejection algorithms require supervision (e.g., training using canonical artifacts).
Many artifact rejection methods are time consuming when applied to high-density EEG data. We
describe FASTER (Fully Automated Statistical Thresholding for EEG artifact Rejection).
Parameters were estimated for various aspects of data (e.g., channel variance) in both the EEG
time series and in the independent components of the EEG: outliers were detected and removed.
FASTER was tested on both simulated EEG (n = 47) and real EEG (n = 47) data on 128-, 64-,
and 32-scalp electrode arrays. FASTER was compared to supervised artifact detection by experts
and to a variant of the Statistical Control for Dense Arrays of Sensors (SCADS) method.
FASTER had >90% sensitivity and specificity for detection of contaminated channels, eye
movement and EMG artifacts, linear trends and white noise. FASTER generally had >60%
sensitivity and specificity for detection of contaminated epochs, vs. 0.15% for SCADS. FASTER
also aggregates the ERP across subject datasets, and detects outlier datasets. The variance in the
ERP baseline, a measure of noise, was significantly lower for FASTER than either the
supervised or SCADS methods. ERP amplitude did not differ significantly between FASTER
and the supervised approach.

Quality and Quality Control

INSPECTION Inspection is the most common method of attaining standardization, uniformity


and quality of workmanship. It is the cost art of controlling the product quality after comparison
with the established standards and specifications. It is the function of quality control. If the said
item does not fall within the zone of acceptability it will be rejected and corrective measure will
be applied to see that the items in future conform to specified standards. Inspection is an
indispensable tool of modern manufacturing process. It helps to control quality, reduces
manufacturing costs, eliminate scrap losses and assignable causes of defective work. Objectives
of Inspection

(1) To collect information regarding the performance of the product with established standards
for the use of engineering production, purchasing and quality control etc.

(2) To sort out poor quality of manufactured product and thus to maintain standards.

(3) To establish and increase the reputation by protecting customers from receiving poor quality
products.

(4) Detect source of weakness and failure in the finished products and thus check the work of
designer.

AUTOMATED INSPECTION SYSTEM


Inspection has become an essential part of any manufacturing system. It is the means of rejecting
nonconformities and assuring good quality products. The advent of technologically updated
inspection equipment helped to overcome the problems associated with traditional approaches.
Traditional approach used labor-intensive methods that resulted in the increase of manufacturing
lead time and production cost. Moreover, there is a significant delay in detecting an out of
control limit.

(i) Manual inspection method surrogated by 100% automated inspection.


(ii) Offline inspection performed later is replaced with online sensor systems to accomplish
inspection during or immediately after the manufacturing process.
(iii) Feedback control of the manufacturing operation in which process variable that
determines product quality is monitored rather than the product itself.
(iv) Statistical process control is ensured using software tools to track and analyze the sensor
measurement over time.
(v) Advanced inspection and sensor technologies, interfaced with computer based systems to
automate the operations of the sensor systems. 26 Fundamentals of CIM Objectives
After studying this unit, you should be able to
 Describe the fundamentals of inspection procedures and inspection accuracy,
Explain the modern approaches to inspection with an emphasis on automating the
inspection function,
Reject the product if it fails to meet the specified standards, and
Assess the quality of the workmanship and materials used during production.

AUTOMATION
Automation is the use of control systems such as numerical control, programmable
logic and other industrial control systems, in concern with other application of
information technologies such as computer aided technologies CAD, CAM, to
control industry or industrial machineries and industrial process or processes, reducing the
need for human intervention.2.1 Automation Tools Engineers now can have numerical
control over automated devices. Computer-aided technologies (or Cox) now serve the
basis for mathematical and organizational tools used to create complex systems. Notable
examples of Cox include Computer-aided design (CAD software) and Computer-
aided manufacturing (CAM software).The improved design, analysis, and manufacture
of products enabled by Cox have been beneficial for industry. Together information and
technology with industrial machinery and processes, can assist in the design,
implementation, and monitoring of control systems. One example of an industrial control
system is a programmable logic controller (PLC). PLCs are specialized hardened computers
which are frequently used to synchronize the flow of inputs from (physical) sensors and
events with the flow of outputs to actuators and events. Human-machine interfaces
(HMI) or computer human interfaces (CHI), formerly known as man-machine interfaces,
are usually employed to communicate with PLCs and other computers. In
industrial process and manufacturing environments, they are called operators or something
similar. In boiler houses and central utilities departments they are called stationary
engineers.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The goal of this model is to assert the dimensional (length) accuracy of a product and theFalut
rejection of the defective products. For this, first of all ultrasonic sensor is being used which
will ensure the presence of the object. When a product is arrived then the motor starts running
and so as the conveyor belt. As the product is on the conveyor belt, due to the motion of the belt
it moves forward. The rays cut the product. As a result, the counter is ON and starts counting.
After a while, the rays cut the LDR (light depending resistor). So the counter is OFF and stops
counting. This time is calculated and is compared with the time which was set earlier knowing
that how much time the product will be in contact with the laser. From this a decision comes
whether the length of the product is right or wrong.

If the length of the product is correct then it is allowed to pass through. At the end of the system
there is a sensor which will ensure whether the product is passed or not. If the product passes
then the motor stops running and will wait for the arrival of the new product on the other hand if
the product is defective (wrong length) then another sensor will ensure the arrival of the
defective product in the rejection zone. Then the rejection motor will start and will reject the
defective product from the conveyor belt. Block Diagram of the Working Principle A block
diagram of the working principle has been shown in Figure 1. From this diagram it is clear that
when a product is reached to the detection zone its length is measured with the help of ultrasonic
sensor. If the length of the product is accurate it is shown in the LCD display and the product is
passed to the product box by the movement of conveyor belt and if the length is wrong then it is
dumped to the waste box by means of a punching motor.

FABRICATION
Method of Fabrication:

The two conveyor roller is fixed to the two ends of the frame stand with the help of end bearing (
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.

The ultrasonic transmitter and receiver circuit is used to sense the length of the material. It is
fixed to the frame stand with a suitable arrangement. The pneumatic cylinder is fixed to the
frame stand by right angles to the limit sensor frame stand.

This arrangement is used to remove the dimensionless material from the conveyor. The
pneumatic cylinder is controlled by the flow control valve, single acting solenoid valve and
control unit.

The shafts, on which the pulleys are mounted, are inserted on opposite sides of frame. The shaft
of DC motor is inserted in one of the pulleys. The conveyor belt is placed on the pulleys and the
Ultrasonic sensor is mounted at the center of the belt at certain distance away from the belt.
Adriano is placed along with L293D at the bottom of the belt

FAULTY PRODUCT DETECTION AND SEPERATION SYSTEM

Conveyor Belt Mechanism

A 12V DC servomotor is used to move the belt. This high torque motor derives the necessary
12V and 2A current from an AC to DC converter. The start and stop of the belt is controlled
using a relay. The relay makes and breaks the circuit between the converter and motor to start
and stop it respectively. D. Blower Section Dry and wet separation is based on their weight. Due
to its high density and weight, wet waste refuses to be blown off even in the presence of a high
speed blower. This technique is made use of to distinguish wet and dry waste. A relay will
control the on and off of a high speed AC blower. As blower blows, the belt halts and dry waste
is thrown out into the dry bin via a collecting chamber. Wet waste stays on the belt. It then falls
off due to gravity at the end of the belt as it rolls.

Open Close Mechanism

The open close mechanism acts as a regulator to control the waste that falls on the belt. A 12V
DC geared motor receives inputs from microcontroller to monitor the clockwise and anti-
clockwise motion of the motor. As motor rotates, the rotary motion is translated to linear motion
using a rack and pinion arrangement. L293D is used as a driver IC to provide the necessary
current to the motor. This mechanism is initiated only if the IR sensor detects a waste in its
vicinity. Fig.3.A view of the funnel with open close mechanism at its mouth Fig.4. Open close
plate with three inductive proximity sensors for metal waste detection B. Inductive Proximity
Sensor An inductive proximity sensor based on the eddy current principle suitable for metallic
targets has been used.

[3] Three 12V inductive proximity sensors are used to detect if the incoming waste is metallic or
not. Tenpin sensor gives logical 0 outputs in the presence of metal and logical 1 output in the
absence of metal. This is fed as input to the microcontroller. C. Conveyor Belt Mechanism a 12V
DC servomotor is used to move the belt. This high torque motor derives the necessary 12V and
2A current from an AC to DC converter. The start and stop of the belt is controlled using a relay.
The relay makes and breaks the circuit between the converter and motor to start and stop it
respectively.

Ultrasonic sensor

Section An ultrasonic sensor will detect the presence of waste just before the blower section. If
waste is detected, then the blower is switched on for a programmed duration and then switched
off. This will prevent the blower from being on continuously.

The trigger pulses are provided to for ultrasound detection of waste. The echo received from the
obstacle (waste) is received by the microcontroller to calculate the delay [4] F. Software
Implementation the software used to program the 8051 microcontroller is KeilMicrovision 3.
The C program written to automate the process of waste segregation is downloaded using a tool
called Flash magic.

Inductive Proximity Sensor

An inductive proximity sensor based on the eddy current principle suitable for metallic targets
has been used. [3] Three 12V inductive proximity sensors are used to detect if the incoming
waste is metallic or not. Tenpin sensor gives logical 0 outputs in the presence of metal and
logical 1 output in the absence of metal. This is fed as input to the microcontroller.

Rejecter Systems

An extensive product line-up of rejecters has improved safety and validation, as well as
improved speed (up to 2.1 times faster than conventional Anritsu products). The reject systems
operate at the speed of 250 products/min. The standardization of functions on the rejecter ensures
reliability and safety, including:

1 Rejection Confirmation-To ensure products are classified properly, a sensor has been
mounted on the Pass-product side of the rejecter.

2 Rejection Operation Check-The sensor mounted on the rejecter actuator monitors the
rejecter gate and the conveyor is working properly. Other items that can be monitored
include: failures of internal units, such as actuators; problems with air supply; etc.

3 Chute Attachment/Detachment Check-To ensure system safety and to prevent improper


discharge of products, the attachment/detachment status of the chute of flipper rejecters is
constantly monitored.

FABRICATION PROCESS

Manufacturing processes are the steps through which raw materials are transformed into a final
product. The manufacturing process begins with the creation of the materials from which the
design is made. These materials are then modified through manufacturing processes to become
the required part. Manufacturing processes can include treating (such as heat treating or coating),
machining, or reshaping the material. The manufacturing process also includes tests and checks
for quality assurance during or after the manufacturing, and planning the production process
prior to manufacturing.

4. Frame Stand.

5. Sensor.

1. PERMANENT MAGNET D.C. MOTOR

a. An electric motor is a machine which converts electrical energy to mechanical


energy.
b. Its action is based on the principle that when a current-carrying conductor is
placed in a magnetic
c. field, it experiences a magnetic force whose direction is given by Fleming’s left
hand rule.When
d. a motor is in operation, it develops torque. This torque can produce mechanical
rotation. DC
e. motors are also like generators classified into shunt wound or series wound or
compound wound motors.

FAULTY PRODUCT DETECTION AND SEPERATION SYSTEM

FLEMING’S LEFT HAND RULE

Keep the force finger, middle finger and thumb of the left hand mutually perpendicular to

One another. If the fore finger indicates the direction of magnetic field and middle finger

Indicates direction of current in the conductor, then the thumb indicates the direction of the

Motion of conductor.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF DC MOTOR

The conductor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. The conductor is as
carrying a current away from the viewer, but the field due to the N and S poles has been
removed. There is no movement of the conductor during the above two conditions. The current
carrying conductor is placed in the magnetic field. The field due to the current in the conductor
supports the main field above the conductor, but opposes the main field below the conductor.

The result is to increase the flux density in to the region directly above the conductor and to
reduce the flux density in the region directly below the conductor. It is found that a force acts on
the conductor, trying to push the conductor downwards as shown by the arrow. If the current in
the conductor is reversed, the strengthening of flux lines occurs below the conductor, and the
conductor will be pushed upwards.

Now consider a single turn coil carrying a current as shown in the above figure. In view of the
reasons given above, the coil side A will be forced to move downwards, whereas the coil side B
will be forced to move upwards. The forces acting on the coil sides A and B will be of same
magnitude. But their direction is opposite to one another. As the coil is wound on the armature
core which is supported by the bearings, the armature will now rotate. The commentator
periodically reverses the direction of current flow through the armature. Therefore the armature
will have a continuous rotation.

2. ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT

The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that


directs operation of the processor. It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic/logic unit and
input and output devices how to respond to a program's instructions. It directs the operation
of the other units by providing timing and control signals. Most computer resources are managed
by the CU. It directs the flow of data between the CPU and the other devices. John von Neumann
included the control unit as part of the von Neumann architecture. In modern computer designs,
the control unit is typically an internal part of the CPU with its overall role and operation
unchanged since its introduction.

3. CONVEYOR BELT AND ROLLERS

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials
from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the
2020-2021 ACADEMIC YEAR PROJECT REPORT, DEPT OF MECH PDIT HOSAPETE Page 26
FAULTY PRODUCT DETECTION AND SEPERATION SYSTEM

transportation of heavy or bulky materials. Conveyor systems allow quick and efficient
transportation for a wide variety of materials, which make them very popular in the material
handling and packaging industries. Many kinds of conveying systems are available, and are used
according to the various needs of different industries. There are chain conveyors (floor and
overhead) as well. Chain conveyors consist of enclosed tracks, I-Beam, towline, power &
free, and hand pushed trolleys.

4 FRAME STAND

This is made up of M.S pipe material. This is used as a body of the conveyor. The front and rear
wheels are fitted bellow this bottom frame with the help of end bearings.

5 SENSOR

In the broadest definition, a sensor is an object whose purpose is to detect events or changes in
its environment, and then provide a corresponding output. A sensor is a type of transducer;
sensors may provide various types of output, but typically use electrical or optical signals.

For example, a thermocouple generates a known voltage (the output) in response to its


temperature (the environment). A mercury-in-glass thermometer, similarly, converts measured
temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid, which can be read on a calibrated glass
tube.

Sensors are used in everyday objects such as touch-sensitive elevator buttons (tactile sensor) and
lamps which dim or brighten by touching the base, besides innumerable applications of which
most people are never aware. With advances in micro machinery and easy-to-use micro
controller platforms, the uses of sensors have expanded beyond the most traditional fields of

2020-2021 ACADEMIC YEAR PROJECT REPORT, DEPT OF MECH PDIT HOSAPETE Page 27
FAULTY PRODUCT DETECTION AND SEPERATION SYSTEM

temperature, pressure or flow measurement, for example into MARG sensors. Moreover, analog
sensors such as potentiometers and force-sensing resistors are still widely used.

SOME OTHER IMPORTANT PARTS

RACK AND PINION

A rack and pinion is a type of linear actuator that comprises a pair of gears which convert
rotational motion into linear motion. A circular gear called " the pinion" engages
teeth on a linear " gear" bar called "the rack"; rotational motion applied
to the pinion causes the rack to move relative to the pinion, thereby translating the rotational
motion of the pinion into linear motion.

For example, in a rack railway, the rotation of a pinion mounted on a locomotive or


a railcar engages a rack between the rails and forces a train up a steep slope. For every pair of
conjugate involute profile, there is a basic rack. This basic rack is the profile of the conjugate
gear of infinite pitch radius. [1]  (I.e. a toothed straight edge.)

SPUR GEAR

The spur gears, which are designed to transmit motion and power between parallel shafts, are the
most economical gears in the power transmission industry.

Spur gears or straight-cut gears are the simplest type of gear. They consist of a cylinder or disk
with teeth projecting radially.

Though the teeth are not straight-sided (but usually of special form to achieve a constant drive
ratio, mainly involute but less commonly cycloidal), the edge of each tooth is straight and
aligned parallel to the axis of rotation. These gears mesh together correctly only if fitted to
parallel shafts.

2020-2021 ACADEMIC YEAR PROJECT REPORT, DEPT OF MECH PDIT HOSAPETE Page 28
FAULTY PRODUCT DETECTION AND SEPERATION SYSTEM

INTERNAL SPUR GEAR

The internal gears are spur gears turned " inside out. " In other words, the teeth are
cut into the inside diameter while the outside diameter is kept smooth. This design allows for the
driving pinion to rotate internal to the gear, which, in turn, allows for clean operation. Intended
for light duty applications, these gears are available only in brass. When choosing a mating spur
gear, always remember that the difference in the number of teeth between the internal gear and
pinion should not be less than 15 or 12.

EXTERNAL SPUR GEAR

Perhaps the most often used and simplest gear system, external spur gears are cylindrical gears
with straight teeth parallel to the axis. They are used to transmit rotary motion between parallel
shafts and the shafts rotate in opposite directions. They tend to be noisy at high speed as the two
gear surfaces come into contact at once. Internal spur gears: The internal spur gear works
similarly to the external spur gears except that the pinion is inside the spur gear. They are used to
transmit rotary motion between parallel shafts but the shafts rotate in the same direction with this
arrangement.

INSPECTION

Critical appraisalinvolvingexamination, measurement, testing, gauging, and comparison of


materials or items. An inspection determines if the material or item is in proper quantity and
condition, and if it conforms to the applicable or specified requirements. Inspection is generally
divided into three categories: (1) Receiving inspection, (2) In-process inspection, and (3) Final
inspection. In quality control (which is guided by the principle that " Quality cannot be
inspected into a product") the role of inspection is to verify and validate the variance data;
it does not involve separating the good from the bad.

 Service rejection The Eco push can also be used to eject containers for analysis.

DIS-ADVANTAGES
This system inspect a product by length, so other than dimensional defect it will not going to
separate other quality defected products

This system worked by a software program, so sometimes software might not working properly

APPLICATION
 Rejection and distribution of empty and full cans, glass bottles and PET containers
 Quality check for industrial use
 Material handling systems
 Production lines ETC.

Discharge of work piece:-

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.

Improper Material Removing operation:-

This unit can also be used in improper material collected in a collecting box. The solenoid
operated pneumatic cylinder is used for this mechanism.

CONCLUSION
In today’s highly competitive global world, the management of the integrity of the supply of a
product from raw material to delivered finished product, through quality manufacturing is of
paramount importance. For the declaration of a product bearing high quality, dimensional
accuracy assertion is a must. So our developed model of automatic length sorting is an excellent
one because of its working principle and wide implementation. By applying the idea of this
model an industry can easily sort the required product according to its demand. Though it has
some limitations, but by having done some modification this concept can be implemented in a
wide range of application.
