Abstract
An experiment has been carried out in
order to sort objects by height by using a 2 link
robotic arm along with a conveyor. The conveyor belt
carries the object to be sorted and the simulation of a
production line is done by the conveyor belt. The
flexibility of the system is increased because systems
sensing capability permits the object to be anywhere
on the conveyer belt. The source to find the possibility
of such automated sorting system is the combination
of sensor system and hardware along with the
software. The concern regarding the use of IR (Infrared)
range sensor in determining the location of the
object is discovered by testing it for repeatability.
Thus, in other aspects except this the system proves to
work well and it has some possible uses where
automated sorting is preferred. A process in which a
finished product is produced much faster than
handcrafting-type methods by adding the parts to the
product in a chronological order is called as assembly
line. The important part of an assembly line is
conveyor belt system which performs the function of
conveying goods from one place to another. In this
investigation an improvised conveyor belt is
developed which separates material according to its
size and return the unwanted goods outward. Infrared
sensors have certain advantages such as
consumption of electricity is low and provides longer
life.
