Design and Construction of Automized Assembly Application

The project was to make a bearing assembly with two different materials. Since it had two different kinds of workpiece, two stations were needed for the machine. The first station was designed coloured workpieces, the other one designed non-colour pieces. Before reading the colour or non-colour workpiece by the colour sensor, four workpieces were placed inside the ordinary station in group one. As soon as the condition started, the first workpiece advanced on the conveyor, moving by cylinder action. After the colour sensor had read the workpiece colour, it sent a ready signal to group two. After group two had received a ready signal from group one, the conveyor belt start to move. At the end of the conveyor, the workpiece stopped by the sensor and a gripper picked and placed it on the conveyor of group two. If work piece (1) was coloured as detected by the photo electric sensor, the first stopper’s advance and work piece (1) was stopped at this station and conveyor belt stopped to move only later. Colour workpiece (2) was inserted to workpiece (1) by pneumatic cylinder.
