Hot Disk Pick and Place Robot

The Project is aimed to provide an handling of different type of hot discs prior to forming operation. In Present situation, hot discs (approx. at guided to operator by conveyor from the furnace. Operator pics the disc with the help of tounge and places it on forming setup. The process is slightly time consuming, due to that the temperature of disc decreases and that results in decrease in quality. In addition to that, as the weight of disc is quite high (22 to 35kg/disc),the process was taking large amount of human efforts. To address all these issues, the team decided to Design a pick and place type robot in the work area. The main objective of our project is to provide a pick and place robot which will handle all 12 types of discs with one End effector and also it must take minimum time to move the hot disc from conveyor to the forming setup to save time and increase productivity Keyword: Material handling robot, Robotic Arm, PLC

Material handling can be defined as an integrated system involving such activities as storing and controlling of materials by means of gravity, manual effort or power activated machinery. Moving materials utilize time and space. Any movement of materials requires that the size, shape, weight and condition of the material, as well as the path and frequency of the move be analyzed 1.1 Problem Definition hot discs (approx. at 900c) are guided to operator by conveyor from the furnace. Operator pics the disc with the help of tounge and places it on forming setup. The process is slightly time consuming, due to that the temperature of disc decreases and that results in decrease in forming quality so to counter that plate need to put in funace again and that was affecting production targets.

Objective
1. Our main objective is to make sure Robot will move hot disc from conveyor to forming setup in less than 13 sec. Material handling can be defined as an integrated system involving such activities as moving, handling, storing and controlling of materials by means of power activated machinery. Moving materials utilize time and space. Any movement of materials requires that the size, shape, weight and condition of the material, as well as the path and frequency of the move be analyzed (approx. at 900c) are guided to operator by conveyor from the furnace. Operator pics the disc with the help of tounge and places it on forming setup. The process is slightly time consuming, due to that the temperature of disc decreases and that results decrease in forming quality so to counter that plate need to put in funace again and that was affecting production targets. In addition to that, as the weight of disc is quite high (22 to 35kg/disc), the process was causing backbone problems for operator and also there is higher chances of an accident.

The human works have many limitations likewise, laziness, less accuracy, time limits, less productivity, etc. In the industrial world, automation is one of the essential elements for development. It helps to reduce the need for humans and increase efficiency and productivity. The field of automation occupies large areas, mostly in industrial manufacturing. A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion or linear displacement. Used for assembly operations, diecasting, gas welding, arc welding and spray painting,etc.
Mir Sajjad Hussain Talpur , Murtaza Hussain Shaikh [2]: As per this project, aim is to design and implement a PLC based on reliable and high performance robotic system for food / biscuit manufacturing line.we are referring a robot, which is capable of picking unbaked biscuits tray and places them into furnace and then after baking it picks the biscuits tray from thefurnace. A special gripper is designed to pick and place the biscuits tray with flexibility.
Ravikumar Mourya , Amit Shelke [3]:In this project, mechanical construction is to build and assemble the robot body. The most suitabl material to fabricate the structure of the arm has to be light and strong. Otherwise, the servo motor will not be able to pull up the arm and to perform the desired turning degree.
among the four materials considered(aluminum, Perspex, plastic polymer and carbon fiber), the aluminum is the most ideal material to be chosen as fabrication material , it gets actuated and holds the disc firmly. Robot have many positional sensors, hence when the input signal comes from PLC , hydraulic system and servomotor gets actuated, and produces desired output i.e hot disc gets placed accurately on loacater pin of forming setup.

CONCLUSION
In this way, we conclude that this hot disc pick and place robot can be used to move the hot disc from conveyor to forming setup accurately and it can work in any hostile environment.
