Automatic sorting of object by their colour and dimension with speed or process control of induction motor

Abstract

In today's world of technology and due to speed running industries, the production rate has increased tremendously. Generally, manufacturing industries keep manufacturing same models with little variation in height, colour, weight, shape. And here sorting plays an important role. In such cases industries can't bare human errors for sorting these products. Thus it become necessary to develop Low Cost Automation (LCA) for sorting these products in accurate manner. Industrial automation mainly focuses on developing automations having low cost, low maintenance, long durability and to make systems user friendly as possible. Finally, here we have developed a LCA system for sorting the light weight objects on the basis of height variation using DC geared motors which is controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and the conveyor in the system passes the object in front of sensors and thus sorting logic is decided.
