Description
Summary:All product automation processes require stamping as a last step to brand the finished product. Different product sizes require different sizes of stamping systems to stamp the logo on the finished product. In the present work, a model and simulation of the automated stamping and inspection system were created by using Factory I/O. The system is automated and controlled by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The system consists of two conveyor belts driven by DC motors. The process begins with the products on the conveyor belt. When the product reaches the stamping base, the sensor detects the product, and the stamp, mounted on the pneumatic cylinder is activated with the help of a solenoid valve, initiates the stamping process. The final stamped product is moved ahead and collected in the tray using pick and place automation systems. The system uses proximity sensors to track products/objects on belt. The entire system is monitored and operated by the PLC to ensure efficient process flow. Automatic stamping and inspection systems help maximize the efficiency of any automated assembly system by reducing labor costs and increasing productivity.
