Abstract

The Project is aimed to provide an automation in handling of different type of hot discs prior to forming operation. In Present situation, hot discs (approx. at 750-°c) are guided to operator by conveyor from the furnace. Operator pics the disc with the help of tounge and places it on forming setup. The process is slightly time consuming, due to that the temperature of disc decreases and that results in decrease in forming quality. In addition to that, as the weight of disc is quite high (22 to 35kg/disc),the process was taking large amount of human efforts. To address all these issues, the team decided to Design a pick and place type robot in the work area. The main objective of our project is to provide a pick and place robot which will handle all 12 types of discs with one End effector and also it must take minimum time to move the hot disc from conveyor to the forming setup to save time and increase productivity.
