Automatic job sorting machine

Abstract

Sorting is very important in any type of industry such as manufacturing industry to improve the efficiency of manufacturing processes . Generally the manufacturing industries keep on manufacturing similar models of products with little variation in their height, color, weight and shape. Hence, sorting plays an important role there. In older days, it was possible to utilize manual labour for sorting the objects. But in the world of technology today where there are speed running industries, the production rate has increased tremendously. In such cases industries can’t bear human errors for sorting these products that too associated with high labour costs and time taking procedures. This gives rise to the necessity to reduce manual effort and also human error by replacing the conventional methods of sorting in areas involving hectic sorting with cut-cost user friendly automated systems. The goal with “Automatic Job Sorting Machine ” is to create a smart prototype model in which instead of using manual inspection and sorting here we are introducing an automatic system . In this type of conveyor system , sensors (i.e Ultrasonic and Ir) are used to measure the dimensions of parts placed over it and a linear solenoid is placed next to the sensor which will separate the component based on its dimensions. By using this system, we completely eliminate manual work and reduce inspection time , effort in material handling and also increase production rate.
