BRAZING CLIP ASSEMBLY MACHINE USING PLC (SPECIAL PURPOSE MACHINE)

Abstract

As we have known about the importance of time management especially in transportation, we are in need of using two-wheelers or four wheelers enormously. But assembling these vehicles the part of the electro-magnetic power is inevitable. Similarly the assembling of wire is also very important. For this purpose in a familiar company like LUCAS-TVS PVT Ltd. They are using “BRAZING CLIP ASSEMBLY (Special Purpose Machine) as in small designs for erecting the commutator with copper wire. The main function is to clip or hold the commutator and copper winding in commercial starter. The use of brazing clip assembly machine is to save Rs1crore per Annam and this machine produce 32products per minute.

But let it be our basic project to know, how this assembly is made. The design of this project is our project is our basic view. So we have decided to design this project with PLC

Introduction

As we have known about the importance of time management especially in transportation, we are in need of using two-wheelers or four wheelers enormously.But assembling this vehicles the part of the electro-magnetic power is inevitable. Similarly the assembling of wire is also  very important. For this purpose in a familiar company like LUCAS-TVS PVT Ltd. They are using “BRAZING CLIP ASSEMBLY(Special Purpose Machine) as in small designs for erecting the commutator with copper wire. The main functions is to clip or hold the commutator and copper winding in commercial starter. The uses of brazing clip assembly machine is to save Rs1crore per Annam and this machine produce 32products per minute.But let it be our basic project to know, how this assembly is made. The design of this project is our project is our basic view. So we have decided to design this project with PLC along with K.P ENGINEERS , the block diagram of this machine is attached here..

It is special purpose machine by using Allen Bradley plc. This is used to manufacture the clip, which is used in starter of four wheelers. The purpose of the clip is to join the copper winding and commutator in inside the starter. For this machine we designed electrical panel board by using plc, relay board, smps, mcb, transformer, pneumatic cylinder, solenoid coils, push button etc… this machine consists of four pneumatic cylinders. They are Top cylinder, Bottom cylinder, Hold cylinder, Feeder cylinder. The bottom cylinder has three proximity sensors i) Top cylinder top sensor, ii) Top cylinder middle sensor, iii) Top cylinder bottom sensor. The bottom cylinder has one proximity sensor as well as hold cylinder and feeder cylinder has each separate proximity sensor. Photo guard is attached in this machine, its for safety purpose when the photo guards detects some interrupts it will stop the machine completely. This machine can be run in two modes they are auto mode and manual mode. In manual mode the operator can control this machine through the operator panel.
