An automatic glove packaging system is developed by using a conveyor and pneumatic system to overcome the classical manual approach. The sensors are used to count the quantity of the glove and detect the box. Then, it will send the signals to the control unit. The control unit used is OMRON PLC-CP2E-E30DR-A, which sends an appropriate signal to the pneumatic cylinder to push the glove into the box. In this design, an infrared sensor 1 is used to count the quantity of the glove at the conveyor and the conveyor will stop after it finishes counting. The infrared sensor 2 will detect the box and stop the conveyor. The pneumatic system is built to push and hold the glove at the trap door to the box for packaging. The 3-phase AC motor is used at the belt conveyor. An experiment is done to choose the best delta connection or star connection to supply the current and the power to the conveyor motor. The downscale prototype of the machine is developed to present the function of the machine before building the real industrial machine. Using this system completely eliminates manpower, reduces inspection time, and also increases the production rate.

摘要

An automatic glove packaging system is developed by using a conveyor and pneumatic system to overcome the classical manual approach. The sensors are used to count the quantity of the glove and detect the box. Then, it will send the signals to the control unit. The control unit used is OMRON PLC-CP2E-E30DR-A, which sends an appropriate signal to the pneumatic cylinder to push the glove into the box. In this design, an infrared sensor 1 is used to count the quantity of the glove at the conveyor and the conveyor will stop after it finishes counting. The infrared sensor 2 will detect the box and stop the conveyor. The pneumatic system is built to push and hold the glove at the trap door to the box for packaging. The 3-phase AC motor is used at the belt conveyor. An experiment is done to choose the best delta connection or star connection to supply the current and the power to the conveyor motor. The downscale prototype of the machine is developed to present the function of the machine before building the real industrial machine. Using this system completely eliminates manpower, reduces inspection time, and also increases the production rate.
