Large, outdoor Belt Conveyor Systems for bulk materials are major sources of industrial noise and frequently become an environmental emissions issue for many existing and proposed plants. Deficiencies in the industry’s understanding of the complex, underlying conveyor noise generating mechanisms has meant there are relatively few practical and cost-effective noise management strategies. On the ...

The manual process of manufacturing the welding electrode takes more time and work. It also occupies more space for the control panel with the installation of PLC in the welding electrode manufacturing control panel the size of the panel is reduced to the great extent. It has reduced the cost of the panel and has increased the rate of the production. Here the entire process of electrode manufac...

As electricity prices continue to rise, the increasing need for energy management requires better understanding of models for energy-consuming applications, such as conveyor belts. Conveyor belts are used in a wide range of industries, including power generation, mining and mineral processing. Conveyor technological advances are leading to increasingly long conveyor belts being commissioned. Th...

Robot conveyor tracking is a task in which a robot follows and obtains objects on a conveyor belt. Prior to obtaining an object from an automation line, a robot needs information about the object, such as its position, orientation, velocity, size, etc. Compared to ultrasonic sensors and infrared ray sensors, vision sensors can provide more information about the object on the conveyor belts. Gen...

New pneumatic actuators developed in the author's laboratory will be presented with their applications to new mechatronics. Examples of them are a pneumatic rubber actuator for compliant robots, a micro pneumatic tube actuator assisting the colonscope insertion, a pneumatic stepping motor with high torque and resolution, a pneumatic drive bicycle, an intelligent pneumatic cylinder which has enc...

This paper presents the conveyor, an interconnection device which operates on a 3D skewed memory space and provides the capability of parallel volumetric transformation. The special concept of the conveyor, its design and implementation are discussed.

Novel CMOS realizations of the second and the third generation current conveyors based on the use of the current conveyor of the first generation are given. The simulations show that these circuits have an excellent performance and an exceptional bandwidth. q 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

This study proposes a novel square/triangular wave generator based on a dual outputs differential voltage current conveyor (DO-DVCC). The proposed circuit uses one DO-DVCC combined with three grounded passive components. The presented scheme reveals a compact topology and can produce square/triangular waveform simultaneously. To verify their feasibility, commercially available ICs were used for...

Sorting is an important thing in which any items or products can be differentiated based on their size, height and color. In order to sort items, we need to be able to compare them, i.e., to determine whether the object coming through the conveyor is smaller, greater, or equal to the respected height. Here we are going to do a simple object sorting system using the Programmable Logic Controller...

In this paper, a solution is presented for a robotic manipulation problem in industrial settings. The problem is sensing objects on a conveyor belt, identifying the target, planning and tracking an interception trajectory between end effector and the target. Such a problem could be formulated as combining object recognition, tracking and interception. For this purpose, we integrated a vision sy...
