Desgin and Fabrication of Motorized flexile Roller Conveyor

Project Title

Desgin and Fabrication of Motorized flexile Roller Conveyor

Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject Summary

The purpose of our final year project is to design and manufacture a working model of a flexible roller conveyor. We intend to perform calculations to design the system and perform analysis on it to further deduce the type of material we should use for our roller conveyor. Our design of the flexible roller conveyor will be based on certain parameters such as the radius of gyration.

Project Objectives

The project we have chosen is widely used in different industries. The basic goal of a flexible roller conveyor is to fit where fixed conveyors can’t be used due to lack of space, it can fit in compact spaces and can be stored easily. It a replacement for manual labor, as it can transport objects more safely and faster than manual labor. This would decrease the number of damaged products due to manual labor. The conveyor is motor powered which allows the transportation of objects even at a height.

Project Implementation Method

As mentioned above we will design our system based on mainly three different parameters; Simulation and calculations, maximum turn radius, and motor synchronization.

The calculations will be to determine the dimensions and material selection to lift the required load which is 200 lb/ft. The material of the rollers will also determine the amount of friction between them and the objects. The weight and the size/inertia of the transporting material will determine the maximum turn radius of the flexible roller conveyor. To synchronize the motors, we will use a speed controller using a PID controller synchronization.

Benefits of the Project

Flexible Conveyors have proven to be invaluable in a number of the foremost demanding environments. Renown for flexibility and sturdiness the Flexible Conveyors are perfect for loose loading and unloading applications. Engineered to the highest standards required to ensure the rigorous demands of dispatch areas, distribution centers, and parcel handling hubs. They are an economical handling solution for all industries, large or small. Flexible Conveyors are available as Powered, Gravity, and Gravity Skate Wheel and can be quickly maneuvered, stretched, and positioned on braked swivel castors in seconds. Flexible conveyors offer several advantages to companies operating in demanding environments. Flexible conveyors make the processes of loading and unloading much simpler. Flexible conveyors are ideal for those seeking a strong yet versatile solution and may offer a considerable return on investment thanks to the way that they enhance productivity.
