Abstract:
In factory automation and industrial manufacturing, material handling mechanism of lifting and carrying the objects are widely found. This material handling mechanism has been highly developed right from use of manual labour till the use of advanced strategies. This paper involves design and development of electro-pneumatic lift and carries conveying system used for material handling. It comprises mainly of conveying belts, IR sensors, microcontroller unit, solenoid valves and pneumatic actuators. The purpose of this system is to transfer an object from a conveyor to another conveyor placed at certain height and distance using pneumatic actuators. An IR sensor helps to detect the object and their location on conveyor line giving signal to the microcontroller unit which controls the action of the actuators.
