Design and Control of Conveyors with Buffer System and Integrated Drilling using PLC

Abstract

Abstract
Conveyors are one of the most widely used means of moving the product almost everywhere. The result of design and control of conveyor with buffer system and integrated drilling system using PLC helps to solve the problem of overload of conveyor system and packaging unit, never effects the production and avoids the complete shutdown of the entire system. Conveyor system is designed such that the production rate has the maximum efficiency by keeping time constraints in mind. The shutdown problem being hindered due to malfunction of the conveyors is tackled using the buffer system and dual-speed conveyors. If one of the belt suffers from a malfunction the speed of the other belts increases so as to accommodate the extra incoming work pieces. The buffer conveyor belt gets activated when more than one output conveyor belts goes off. The intelligent distributer only distributes to running conveyors. It also provides enough time for the malfunctioned conveyors to get back to working condition without hindering the on-going process. Drilling process indicates one of the various processes that take place in the industry.
