3.DC MOTOR ; 
1.D.C. MOTOR 
DESCRIPTION OF PERMANENT MAGNET D.C 
MOTOR 
An electric motor is a machine which converts electrical energy to 
mechanical energy. Its action is based on the principle that when a current-carrying 
conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic 
force whose direction is given by Fleming’s left hand rule.
When a motor is in operation, it develops torque. This torque can produce 
mechanical rotation. DC motors are also like generators classified into shunt 
wound or series wound or compound wound motors. 
FLEMING’S LEFT HAND RULE: 
Keep the force finger, middle finger and thumb of the left hand 
mutually perpendicular to one another. If the fore finger indicates the 
direction of magnetic field and middle finger indicates direction of current in 
the conductor, then the thumb indicates the direction of the motion of 
conductor. 
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF DC MOTOR: 
Figure I show a uniform magnetic field in which a straight conductor 
carrying no current is placed. The conductor is perpendicular to the 
direction of the magnetic field. 
In figure II the conductor is shown as carrying a current away from 
the viewer, but the field due to the N and S poles has been removed. There
is no movement of the conductor during the above two conditions. In figure 
III the current carrying conductor is placed in the magnetic field. The field 
due to the current in the conductor supports the main field above the 
conductor, but opposes the main field below the conductor. 
Movement of 
Conductor 
N S 
Magnetic flux current carrying 
Conductor 
The result is to increase the flux density in to the region directly above 
the conductor and to reduce the flux density in the region directly below the 
conductor. 
It is found that a force acts on the conductor, trying to push the 
conductor downwards as shown by the arrow. If the current in the conductor
is reversed, the strengthening of flux lines occurs below the conductor, and 
the conductor will be pushed upwards (figure-IV). 
Now consider a single turn coil carrying a current as shown in the 
above figure. in view of the reasons given above, the coil side A will be 
forced to move downwards, whereas the coil side B will be forced to move 
upwards. The forces acting on the coil sides A and B will be of same 
magnitude. But their direction is opposite to one another. As the coil is 
wound on the armature core which is supported by the bearings, the 
armature will now rotate. The commutator periodically reverses the 
direction of current flow through the armature. Therefore the armature will 
have a continuous rotation. 
A simplified model of such a motor is shown in figure VI. The 
conductors are wound over a soft iron core. DC supply is given to the field 
poles for producing flux. The conductors are connected to the DC supply 
through brushes 
Let's start by looking at the overall plan of a simple 2-pole DC electric 
motor. A simple motor has 6 parts, as shown in the diagram below.
· An armature or rotor 
· A commutator 
· Brushes 
· An axle 
· A field magnet 
· A DC power supply of some sort 
An electric motor is all about magnets and magnetism: a motor uses 
magnets to create motion. If you have ever played with magnets you know 
about the fundamental law of all magnets: Opposites attract and likes repel. 
So if you have 2 bar magnets with their ends marked north and south, then 
the North end of one magnet will attract the South end of the other. On the
other hand, the North end of one magnet will repel the North end of the 
other (and similarly south will repel south). Inside an electric motor these 
attracting and repelling forces create rotational motion. 
In the diagram above and below you can see two magnets in the 
motor, the armature (or rotor) is an electromagnet, while the field magnet is 
a permanent magnet (the field magnet could be an electromagnet as well, but 
in most small motors it is not to save power).

inductive sensor and IR sensor rays are intruppted by the job and 
correspondingly sends the signal to the microcontroller. Without this IR 
signal the job will not move. The inductive sensor is used for detecting iron 
material.The conveyor belt starts forward or reverse only depends on this 
inductive sensor. The IR sensor is used for detecting the presence of any 
material object in the conveyor. When both the sensor are not sensing, the 
belt moves in forward direction and also allow the object to the other end of
the conveyor . The double acting cylinder is actuated by the controller , and 
eject the job from the conveyor when the iron material is detected by the

POWER SUPPLY UNIT 
INTRODUCTION: 
All the electronic components starting from diode to Intel IC’s only 
work with a DC supply ranging from +5V to +12V. We are utilizing for the 
same, the cheapest and commonly available energy source of 230V-50Hz 
and stepping down, rectifying, filtering and regulating the voltage. 
STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER: 
When AC is applied to the primary winding of the power transformer, 
it can either be stepped down or stepped up depending on the value of DC 
needed. In our circuit the transformer of 230V/15-0-15V is used to perform 
the step down operation where a 230V AC appears as 15V AC across the 
secondary winding. Apart from stepping down voltages, it gives isolation 
between the power source and power supply circuitries. 
RECTIFIER UNIT: 
In the power supply unit, rectification is normally achieved using a 
solid state diode. Diode has the property that will let the electron flow easily 
in one direction at proper biasing condition. As AC is applied to the diode, 
electrons only flow when the anode and cathode is negative. Reversing the 
polarity of voltage will not permit electron flow. A commonly used circuit
for supplying large amounts of DC power is the bridge rectifier. A bridge 
rectifier of four diodes (4 x IN4007) are used to achieve full wave 
rectification. Two diodes will conduct during the negative cycle and the 
other two will conduct during the positive half cycle, and only one diode 
conducts. At the same time one of the other two diodes conducts for the 
negative voltage that is applied from the bottom winding due to the forward 
bias for that diode. In this circuit due to positive half cycle D1 & D2 will 
conduct to give 0.8V pulsating DC. The DC output has a ripple frequency 
of 100Hz. Since each alteration produces a resulting output pulse, frequency 
= 2 x 50 Hz. The output obtained is not a pure DC and therefore filtration 
has to be done. 
The DC voltage appearing across the output terminals of the bridge 
rectifier will be somewhat less than 90% of the applied rms value. Normally 
one alteration of the input voltage will reverse the polarities. Opposite ends 
of the transformer will therefore always be 180 degree out of phase with 
each other. For a positive cycle, two diodes are connected to the positive 
voltage at the top winding.
FILTERING CIRCUIT: 
Filter circuits which is usually capacitor acting as a surge arrester 
always follow the rectifier unit. This capacitor is also called as a decoupling 
capacitor or a bypassing capacitor, is used not only to ‘short’ the ripple with 
frequency of 120Hz to ground but also to leave the frequency of the DC to 
appear at the output. A load resistor R1 is connected so that a reference to 
the ground is maintained. C1, R1 is for bypassing ripples. C2, R2 is used as 
a low pass filter, i.e. it passes only low frequency signals and bypasses high 
frequency signals. The load resistor should be 1% to 2.5% of the load. 
1000mf/25V : for the reduction of ripples from the pulsating 
10mf/25V : for maintaining the stability of the voltage at the load side. 
0.1mf : for bypassing the high frequency disturbances

VOLTAGE REGULATOR:
The voltage regulators play an important role in any power supply 
unit. The primary purpose of a regulator is to aid the rectifier and filter 
circuit in providing a constant DC voltage to the device. Power supplies 
without regulators have an inherent problem of changing DC voltage values 
due to variations in the load or due to fluctuations in the AC linear voltage. 
With a regulator connected to the DC output, the voltage can be maintained 
within a close tolerant region of the desired output. IC7812 and 7912 is 
used in this project for providing +12V and 12V DC supply.

Resistors R1 and R2 maintain line load regulation.

INTRODUCTION TO 
PNEUMATICS
INTRODUCTION TO PNEUMATICS 
In engineering field may Machines make use of a fluid or compressed air to 
develop a force to move or hold an object 
A system which is operated by compressed air is known as Pneumatic 
System. It is most widely used the work Piece turning drilling sawing etc. 
By the use of Pneumatic System the risk of explosion on fire with 
compressed air is minimum high working speed and simple in construction.
PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS 
In engineering field, many machines make use of fluid for developing 
a force to move or hold an object. A number of fluid can be used in 
devices and system. Two commonly used fluids are oil and compressed 
air. A system which is operated by compressed air. A system which is 
operated by compressed air is known as pneumatic system. 
Discrete Control Logic 
1. Pneumatic circuits - Low forces 
- Discrete, fixed travel distances 
- Rotational or reciprocating motion 
Main components: compressor, valves, cylinders 
AIR COMPRESSOR 
Compressor is a device which gets air fro the atmosphere and 
compresses it for increasing the pressure of air. Thus the compressed air. 
Thus the compressed air used for many application.
The compression process requires work in put. Hence a compressor is 
driven by a prime mover. Generally an electric motor is used as prime 
mover. The compressed air from compressor is stored in vessel called 
reservoir. Fro reservoir it be conveyed to the desired place through pipe 
lines. 
2. FLTER 
In pneumatic system, an air filter is used to remove all foreign matter. 
An air filter dry clean air to flow without resistance various materials are 
used for the filter element. The air may be passed thorugh a piece metal, a 
pours stone felt resin impregnated paper. In some filters centrifugal action 
or cyclone action is used to remove foreign matters. 
3. PRESSURE REGULATOR 
Constant pressure level is required for the trouble free operation of a 
pneumatic control., A pressure regulator is fitted downstream of the
compressed air filter. It provides a constant set pressure at the outlet of the 
outlet of the regulator. The pressure regulator is also called as pressure 
reducing valve or pressure regulating valve. 
4. LUBRICATOR 
The purpose of an air lubricator is to provide the pneumatic 
components with sufficient lubricant. These lubricants must reduce the wear 
of the moving parts reduce frictional forces and protect the equipment from 
corrosion. 
Care should be taken to ensure that sufficient lubrication is provided. 
But excessive lubrication should be avoided. . 
5. FLR Package (or) FRL Package 
The air service unit is a combination of following units. 
1. Compressed air filter 
2. Compressed air regulator 
3. Compressed air lubricator 
Air Filter, regulator and lubricator are connected together with close 
nipples as one package. This unit is know as FLR (Filter, regulator, 
lubricator.) 
6. PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE :
Each hydraulic system is used to operate in a certain pressure range. 
Higher pressure causes damage of components. To avoid this pressure 
control valves are fitted in the circuits. 
7. Direction control valve : 
Directional control valves are used to control the direction of flow. 
The design principle is a major factor with regard to service life actuating 
force switching times etc. 
8. Piston and Cylinder 
single acting pneumatic cylinder; 
PNEUMATIC CITCUIT SYMBOL FOR SINGLE ACTING PNEUMATIC 
CYLINDER;
Pneumatic cylinders (sometimes known as air cylinders) are mechanical 
devices which produce force, often in combination with movement, and are 
powered by compressed gas (typically air). 
To perform their function, pneumatic cylinders impart a force by converting 
the potential energy of compressed gas into kinetic energy. This is achieved 
by the compressed gas being able to expand, without external energy input, 
which itself occurs due to the pressure gradient established by the 
compressed gas being at a greater pressure than the atmospheric pressure. 
This air expansion forces a piston to move in the desired direction. The 
piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops 
to the object to be moved. 
When selecting a pneumatic cylinder, you must pay attention to: 
· how far the piston extends when activated, known as "stroke" 
· surface area of the piston face, known as "bore size" 
· action type 
· pressure rating, such as "50 PSI" 
· type of connection to each port, such as "1/4" NPT" 
· must be rated for compressed air use
· mounting method 
Types 
Although pneumatic cylinders will vary in appearance, size and function, 
they generally fall into one of the specific categories shown below. However 
there are also numerous other types of pneumatic cylinder available, many 
of which are designed to fulfill specific and specialised functions. 
Single acting cylinders 
Single acting cylinders (SAC) use the pressure imparted by compressed air 
to create a driving force in one direction (usually out), and a spring to return 
to the "home" position
Double acting cylinders 
Double Acting Cylinders (DAC) use the force of air to move in both extend 
and retract strokes. They have two ports to allow air in, one for outstroke 
and one for instroke. 
Other types 
Although SACs and DACs are the most common types of pneumatic 
cylinder, the following types are not particularly rare: 
· Rotary air cylinders: actuators that use air to impart a rotary motion 
· Rodless air cylinders: These have no piston rod. They are actuators 
that use a mechanical or magnetic coupling to impart force, typically 
to a table or other body that moves along the length of the cylinder 
body, but does not extend beyond it. 
Sizes 
Air cylinders are available in a variety of sizes and can typically range from 
a small 2.5 mm air cylinder, which might be used for picking up a small 
transistor or other electronic component, to 400 mm diameter air cylinders 
which would impart enough force to lift a car. Some pneumatic cylinders 
reach 1000 mm in diameter, and are used in place of hydraulic cylinders for 
special circumstances where leaking hydraulic oil could impose an extreme 
hazard.
Pressure, radius, area and force relationships 
Although the diameter of the piston and the force exerted by a cylinder are 
related, they are not directly proportional to one another. Additionally, the 
typical mathematical relationship between the two assumes that the air 
supply does not become saturated. Due to the effective cross sectional area 
reduced by the area of the piston rod, the instroke force is less than the 
outstroke force when both are powered pneumatically and by same supply of 
compressed gas. 
The relationship, between force on outstroke, pressure and radius, is as 
follows: 
This is derived from the relationship, between force, pressure and effective 
cross-sectional area, which is: 
F = p A, 
With the same symbolic notation of variables as above, but also A represents 
the effective cross sectional area. 
On instroke, the same relationship between force exerted, pressure and 
effective cross sectional area applies as discussed above for outstroke. 
However, since the cross sectional area is less than the piston area the
relationship between force, pressure and radius is different. The calculation 
isn't more complicated though, since the effective cross sectional area is 
merely that of the piston less that of the piston rod. 
For instroke, therefore, the relationship between force exerted, pressure, 
radius of the piston, and radius of the piston rod, is as follows: 
Where: 
F represents the force exerted 
r1 represents the radius of the piston 
r2 represents the radius of the piston rod 
π is pi, approximately equal to 3.14159. 
VALVE CONNECTORS;
POLYURETHANE TUBE ; shortly say PUN tube; 
Manual operations involving heavy lifting. Pushing or pulling 
motions can be firing for the operations and can induce a monotony which 
results in lowered production. Cylinders have been designed to carry out 
these movements with a pre – determined force and stroke and can be fitted 
to synchronize with operation cycles of many machines it is worth wile to 
examine the existing plan and methods of movement and to consider the 
numberous mechanical applications which the range of pneumatic cylinders 
make possible. Quality is to keynote of air cylinder. Engineer them into 
you production setup to get the last ounce of power, speed and efficiency to 
save time, space and money.
Piston is cylinder part which moves in a cylinder have corresponding 
hole on it. To make the strokes effective there is no gap between them or 
with a very tiny gap, part of the micron. The cylinder and its piston have a 
glazing surface where there is a contact between them for easy motion of 
piston and avoiding wear and tear of both. The outer side of the cylinder 
have mountings consists of plate and studs attached with it. But the of these 
mountings, the cylinder and piston assembly can fitted on any place of the 
piston have threads on it for fastening the other parts (or) accessories 
according the operating performed and the application required. We can fit 
holding devices, Clamping materials or other metal cutting and forming 
ports with which can be movable with the piston. 
Pneumatics are used practically in every industry for a wide variety of 
manufacturing process, pneumatics equipments are used for multiple 
reasons. The best reason is that it is air powered ordinary air turns out to be 
very excellent as a fluid power components. 
Solenoid Valve : 
In order to automate the air flow in our system we have to provide an 
electrically controlled valves. Electrical devices can provide more effective
control, less expensive interlocks having many additional safety features and 
simplified automatic sequencing when a machine must operate in a 
hazardous area, remote actuation is a desirable. The operator can provide 
satisfactory control though electrical devices from a remote point with in a 
safe area, uding a semi automatic system and these electrical flow control 
devices are also in use in full automation by providing proper action signals. 
Push and pull actuation can be priced b solenoids. These movements 
are used to open and close the pop pet type valves. These actuations are 
done according to the signals given to the solenoid coil when the decided by 
the program. The outlet of solenoid coil when the decided by the program,. 
The outlet of solenoid valve is connected to a spray gun, which is going to 
spray the paint.
SOLENOID OPERATED VALVES: 
Solenoid valves are electromechanical devices like relays and 
contractors. A solenoid valve is used to obtain mechanical movement in 
machinery by utilizing fluid or air pressure. The fluid or air pressure is 
applied to the cylinder piston through a valve operated by a cylindrical 
electrical coil. The electrical coil along with its frame and plunger is known 
as the solenoid and the assembly of solenoid and mechanical valve is known 
as solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is thus another important 
electromechanical device used in control of machines. Solenoid valves are 
of two types, 
1. Single solenoid spring return operating valve,(5/2) 
2. Double solenoid operating valve. 
In fig 1 is shown a single solenoid spring return valve in its de-energized 
condition. The symbol for the solenoid and the return are also shown. The 
solenoid valve is shown connected to the cylinder to help readers understand 
the solenoid valve action. In the de energized condition, the plunger and the 
valve spool position as shown in figure 1.
5/2 WAY VALVE
In this position of spool, port P is connected to port A and port B is 
connected to tank or exhaust (i.e. atmosphere) if air is used. Spring pressure 
(S) keeps the spool in this condition as long as the coil is de energized. 
Fluid pressure from port P through port A is applied to the left side of the 
cylinder piston. Thus the cylinder piston moves in the right direction. Now
when the solenoid coil is energized, plunger is attracted and it pushes the 
spool against spring pressure. 
The new position of plunger and spool are shown in fig 2. 
In this position of spool, port A gets connected to tank and port P gets 
connected to port B. Thus pressure is applied to the cylinder piston from 
right and moves the piston rod to the left. At the same time fluid in the other 
side is drained out to the tank. When the solenoid coil is again de energized, 
the spring (S) will move the spool to its original position as shown in figure 
1. Thus, normally when the solenoid coil is de energized the piston rod 
remains extended.

MOTOR DESCRIPTION OF PERMANENT MAGNET D.C MOTOR An electric motor is a machine which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. Its action is based on the principle that when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force whose direction is given by Fleming’s left hand rule.
  • 23. When a motor is in operation, it develops torque. This torque can produce mechanical rotation. DC motors are also like generators classified into shunt wound or series wound or compound wound motors. FLEMING’S LEFT HAND RULE: Keep the force finger, middle finger and thumb of the left hand mutually perpendicular to one another. If the fore finger indicates the direction of magnetic field and middle finger indicates direction of current in the conductor, then the thumb indicates the direction of the motion of conductor. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION OF DC MOTOR: Figure I show a uniform magnetic field in which a straight conductor carrying no current is placed. The conductor is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. In figure II the conductor is shown as carrying a current away from the viewer, but the field due to the N and S poles has been removed. There
  • 24. is no movement of the conductor during the above two conditions. In figure III the current carrying conductor is placed in the magnetic field. The field due to the current in the conductor supports the main field above the conductor, but opposes the main field below the conductor. Movement of Conductor N S Magnetic flux current carrying Conductor The result is to increase the flux density in to the region directly above the conductor and to reduce the flux density in the region directly below the conductor. It is found that a force acts on the conductor, trying to push the conductor downwards as shown by the arrow. If the current in the conductor
  • 25. is reversed, the strengthening of flux lines occurs below the conductor, and the conductor will be pushed upwards (figure-IV). Now consider a single turn coil carrying a current as shown in the above figure. in view of the reasons given above, the coil side A will be forced to move downwards, whereas the coil side B will be forced to move upwards. The forces acting on the coil sides A and B will be of same magnitude. But their direction is opposite to one another. As the coil is wound on the armature core which is supported by the bearings, the armature will now rotate. The commutator periodically reverses the direction of current flow through the armature. Therefore the armature will have a continuous rotation. A simplified model of such a motor is shown in figure VI. The conductors are wound over a soft iron core. DC supply is given to the field poles for producing flux. The conductors are connected to the DC supply through brushes Let's start by looking at the overall plan of a simple 2-pole DC electric motor. A simple motor has 6 parts, as shown in the diagram below.
  • 26. · An armature or rotor · A commutator · Brushes · An axle · A field magnet · A DC power supply of some sort An electric motor is all about magnets and magnetism: a motor uses magnets to create motion. If you have ever played with magnets you know about the fundamental law of all magnets: Opposites attract and likes repel. So if you have 2 bar magnets with their ends marked north and south, then the North end of one magnet will attract the South end of the other. On the
  • 27. other hand, the North end of one magnet will repel the North end of the other (and similarly south will repel south). Inside an electric motor these attracting and repelling forces create rotational motion. In the diagram above and below you can see two magnets in the motor, the armature (or rotor) is an electromagnet, while the field magnet is a permanent magnet (the field magnet could be an electromagnet as well, but in most small motors it is not to save power).

A I R sensor and the inductive sensor is mounted at the centre of the belt conveyor. The both inductive sensor and IR sensor rays are intruppted by the job and correspondingly sends the signal to the microcontroller. Without this IR signal the job will not move. The inductive sensor is used for detecting iron material.The conveyor belt starts forward or reverse only depends on this inductive sensor. The IR sensor is used for detecting the presence of any material object in the conveyor. When both the sensor are not sensing, the belt moves in forward direction and also allow the object to the other end of

  • 33. The circuit diagram for this micro controller board is shown below, MOTHER BOARD CIRCUIT DETAILS the LDR sensor is connected to PORTA (i.e)pin no 2&5.The pin no 1 is RESET switch..The bulbs are connected to port B .
  • 34. POWER SUPPLY UNIT INTRODUCTION: All the electronic components starting from diode to Intel IC’s only work with a DC supply ranging from +5V to +12V. We are utilizing for the same, the cheapest and commonly available energy source of 230V-50Hz and stepping down, rectifying, filtering and regulating the voltage. STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER: When AC is applied to the primary winding of the power transformer, it can either be stepped down or stepped up depending on the value of DC needed. In our circuit the transformer of 230V/15-0-15V is used to perform the step down operation where a 230V AC appears as 15V AC across the secondary winding. Apart from stepping down voltages, it gives isolation between the power source and power supply circuitries. RECTIFIER UNIT: In the power supply unit, rectification is normally achieved using a solid state diode. Diode has the property that will let the electron flow easily in one direction at proper biasing condition. As AC is applied to the diode, electrons only flow when the anode and cathode is negative. Reversing the polarity of voltage will not permit electron flow. A commonly used circuit
  • 35. for supplying large amounts of DC power is the bridge rectifier. A bridge rectifier of four diodes (4 x IN4007) are used to achieve full wave rectification. Two diodes will conduct during the negative cycle and the other two will conduct during the positive half cycle, and only one diode conducts. At the same time one of the other two diodes conducts for the negative voltage that is applied from the bottom winding due to the forward bias for that diode. In this circuit due to positive half cycle D1 & D2 will conduct to give 0.8V pulsating DC. The DC output has a ripple frequency of 100Hz. Since each alteration produces a resulting output pulse, frequency = 2 x 50 Hz. The output obtained is not a pure DC and therefore filtration has to be done. The DC voltage appearing across the output terminals of the bridge rectifier will be somewhat less than 90% of the applied rms value. Normally one alteration of the input voltage will reverse the polarities. Opposite ends of the transformer will therefore always be 180 degree out of phase with each other. For a positive cycle, two diodes are connected to the positive voltage at the top winding.
  • 36. FILTERING CIRCUIT: Filter circuits which is usually capacitor acting as a surge arrester always follow the rectifier unit. This capacitor is also called as a decoupling capacitor or a bypassing capacitor, is used not only to ‘short’ the ripple with frequency of 120Hz to ground but also to leave the frequency of the DC to appear at the output. A load resistor R1 is connected so that a reference to the ground is maintained. C1, R1 is for bypassing ripples. C2, R2 is used as a low pass filter, i.e. it passes only low frequency signals and bypasses high frequency signals. The load resistor should be 1% to 2.5% of the load. 1000mf/25V : for the reduction of ripples from the pulsating 10mf/25V : for maintaining the stability of the voltage at the load side. 0.1mf : for bypassing the high frequency disturbances
  • 37. BLOCK DIAGRAM FOR POWER SUPPLY STEP DOWN BRIDGE POSITIVE TRANSFORMER RECTIFIER CHARGE CAPACITOR 5V 12V REGULATOR REGULATOR MOTHER DISPLAY BOARD BOARD RELAY VOLTAGE REGULATOR:
  • 38. The voltage regulators play an important role in any power supply unit. The primary purpose of a regulator is to aid the rectifier and filter circuit in providing a constant DC voltage to the device. Power supplies without regulators have an inherent problem of changing DC voltage values due to variations in the load or due to fluctuations in the AC linear voltage. With a regulator connected to the DC output, the voltage can be maintained within a close tolerant region of the desired output. IC7812 and 7912 is used in this project for providing +12V and 12V DC supply. SPECIFICATION: Resistors R1 and R2 maintain line load regulation. At the secondary side of the transformer, applied vlltage = 15V Conducting drop across the diodes = 2 * 0.6 = 1.2V Without capacitor: Vavg = (15-1.2)V = 13.8c pulsating DC Frequency = 100Hz With capacitor: V = Vavg * 1.414 (form factor) = 19.51V Frequency = 0 Hz with 7812 voltage regulator: V0 = +12V

  • 40. INTRODUCTION TO PNEUMATICS In engineering field may Machines make use of a fluid or compressed air to develop a force to move or hold an object A system which is operated by compressed air is known as Pneumatic System. It is most widely used the work Piece turning drilling sawing etc. By the use of Pneumatic System the risk of explosion on fire with compressed air is minimum high working speed and simple in construction.
  • 41. PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS In engineering field, many machines make use of fluid for developing a force to move or hold an object. A number of fluid can be used in devices and system. Two commonly used fluids are oil and compressed air. A system which is operated by compressed air. A system which is operated by compressed air is known as pneumatic system. Discrete Control Logic 1. Pneumatic circuits - Low forces - Discrete, fixed travel distances - Rotational or reciprocating motion Main components: compressor, valves, cylinders AIR COMPRESSOR Compressor is a device which gets air fro the atmosphere and compresses it for increasing the pressure of air. Thus the compressed air. Thus the compressed air used for many application.
  • 42. The compression process requires work in put. Hence a compressor is driven by a prime mover. Generally an electric motor is used as prime mover. The compressed air from compressor is stored in vessel called reservoir. Fro reservoir it be conveyed to the desired place through pipe lines. 2. FLTER In pneumatic system, an air filter is used to remove all foreign matter. An air filter dry clean air to flow without resistance various materials are used for the filter element. The air may be passed thorugh a piece metal, a pours stone felt resin impregnated paper. In some filters centrifugal action or cyclone action is used to remove foreign matters. 3. PRESSURE REGULATOR Constant pressure level is required for the trouble free operation of a pneumatic control., A pressure regulator is fitted downstream of the
  • 43. compressed air filter. It provides a constant set pressure at the outlet of the outlet of the regulator. The pressure regulator is also called as pressure reducing valve or pressure regulating valve. 4. LUBRICATOR The purpose of an air lubricator is to provide the pneumatic components with sufficient lubricant. These lubricants must reduce the wear of the moving parts reduce frictional forces and protect the equipment from corrosion. Care should be taken to ensure that sufficient lubrication is provided. But excessive lubrication should be avoided. . 5. FLR Package (or) FRL Package The air service unit is a combination of following units. 1. Compressed air filter 2. Compressed air regulator 3. Compressed air lubricator Air Filter, regulator and lubricator are connected together with close nipples as one package. This unit is know as FLR (Filter, regulator, lubricator.) 6. PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE :
  • 44. Each hydraulic system is used to operate in a certain pressure range. Higher pressure causes damage of components. To avoid this pressure control valves are fitted in the circuits. 7. Direction control valve : Directional control valves are used to control the direction of flow. The design principle is a major factor with regard to service life actuating force switching times etc. 8. Piston and Cylinder single acting pneumatic cylinder; PNEUMATIC CITCUIT SYMBOL FOR SINGLE ACTING PNEUMATIC CYLINDER;
  • 45. Pneumatic cylinders (sometimes known as air cylinders) are mechanical devices which produce force, often in combination with movement, and are powered by compressed gas (typically air). To perform their function, pneumatic cylinders impart a force by converting the potential energy of compressed gas into kinetic energy. This is achieved by the compressed gas being able to expand, without external energy input, which itself occurs due to the pressure gradient established by the compressed gas being at a greater pressure than the atmospheric pressure. This air expansion forces a piston to move in the desired direction. The piston is a disc or cylinder, and the piston rod transfers the force it develops to the object to be moved. When selecting a pneumatic cylinder, you must pay attention to: · how far the piston extends when activated, known as "stroke" · surface area of the piston face, known as "bore size" · action type · pressure rating, such as "50 PSI" · type of connection to each port, such as "1/4" NPT" · must be rated for compressed air use
  • 46. · mounting method Types Although pneumatic cylinders will vary in appearance, size and function, they generally fall into one of the specific categories shown below. However there are also numerous other types of pneumatic cylinder available, many of which are designed to fulfill specific and specialised functions. Single acting cylinders Single acting cylinders (SAC) use the pressure imparted by compressed air to create a driving force in one direction (usually out), and a spring to return to the "home" position
  • 47. Double acting cylinders Double Acting Cylinders (DAC) use the force of air to move in both extend and retract strokes. They have two ports to allow air in, one for outstroke and one for instroke. Other types Although SACs and DACs are the most common types of pneumatic cylinder, the following types are not particularly rare: · Rotary air cylinders: actuators that use air to impart a rotary motion · Rodless air cylinders: These have no piston rod. They are actuators that use a mechanical or magnetic coupling to impart force, typically to a table or other body that moves along the length of the cylinder body, but does not extend beyond it. Sizes Air cylinders are available in a variety of sizes and can typically range from a small 2.5 mm air cylinder, which might be used for picking up a small transistor or other electronic component, to 400 mm diameter air cylinders which would impart enough force to lift a car. Some pneumatic cylinders reach 1000 mm in diameter, and are used in place of hydraulic cylinders for special circumstances where leaking hydraulic oil could impose an extreme hazard.
  • 48. Pressure, radius, area and force relationships Although the diameter of the piston and the force exerted by a cylinder are related, they are not directly proportional to one another. Additionally, the typical mathematical relationship between the two assumes that the air supply does not become saturated. Due to the effective cross sectional area reduced by the area of the piston rod, the instroke force is less than the outstroke force when both are powered pneumatically and by same supply of compressed gas. The relationship, between force on outstroke, pressure and radius, is as follows: This is derived from the relationship, between force, pressure and effective cross-sectional area, which is: F = p A, With the same symbolic notation of variables as above, but also A represents the effective cross sectional area. On instroke, the same relationship between force exerted, pressure and effective cross sectional area applies as discussed above for outstroke. However, since the cross sectional area is less than the piston area the
  • 49. relationship between force, pressure and radius is different. The calculation isn't more complicated though, since the effective cross sectional area is merely that of the piston less that of the piston rod. For instroke, therefore, the relationship between force exerted, pressure, radius of the piston, and radius of the piston rod, is as follows: Where: F represents the force exerted r1 represents the radius of the piston r2 represents the radius of the piston rod π is pi, approximately equal to 3.14159. VALVE CONNECTORS;
  • 50. POLYURETHANE TUBE ; shortly say PUN tube; Manual operations involving heavy lifting. Pushing or pulling motions can be firing for the operations and can induce a monotony which results in lowered production. Cylinders have been designed to carry out these movements with a pre – determined force and stroke and can be fitted to synchronize with operation cycles of many machines it is worth wile to examine the existing plan and methods of movement and to consider the numberous mechanical applications which the range of pneumatic cylinders make possible. Quality is to keynote of air cylinder. Engineer them into you production setup to get the last ounce of power, speed and efficiency to save time, space and money.
  • 51. Piston is cylinder part which moves in a cylinder have corresponding hole on it. To make the strokes effective there is no gap between them or with a very tiny gap, part of the micron. The cylinder and its piston have a glazing surface where there is a contact between them for easy motion of piston and avoiding wear and tear of both. The outer side of the cylinder have mountings consists of plate and studs attached with it. But the of these mountings, the cylinder and piston assembly can fitted on any place of the piston have threads on it for fastening the other parts (or) accessories according the operating performed and the application required. We can fit holding devices, Clamping materials or other metal cutting and forming ports with which can be movable with the piston. Pneumatics are used practically in every industry for a wide variety of manufacturing process, pneumatics equipments are used for multiple reasons. The best reason is that it is air powered ordinary air turns out to be very excellent as a fluid power components. Solenoid Valve : In order to automate the air flow in our system we have to provide an electrically controlled valves. Electrical devices can provide more effective

The operator can provide satisfactory control though electrical devices from a remote point with in a safe area, uding a semi automatic system and these electrical flow control devices are also in use in full automation by providing proper action signals. Push and pull actuation can be priced b solenoids. These movements are used to open and close the pop pet type valves. These actuations are done according to the signals given to the solenoid coil when the decided by the program. The outlet of solenoid coil when the decided by the program,. The outlet of solenoid valve is connected to a spray gun, which is going to spray the paint.
  • 53. SOLENOID OPERATED VALVES: Solenoid valves are electromechanical devices like relays and contractors. A solenoid valve is used to obtain mechanical movement in machinery by utilizing fluid or air pressure. The fluid or air pressure is applied to the cylinder piston through a valve operated by a cylindrical electrical coil. The electrical coil along with its frame and plunger is known as the solenoid and the assembly of solenoid and mechanical valve is known as solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is thus another important electromechanical device used in control of machines. Solenoid valves are of two types, 1. Single solenoid spring return operating valve,(5/2) 2. Double solenoid operating valve. In fig 1 is shown a single solenoid spring return valve in its de-energized condition. The symbol for the solenoid and the return are also shown. The solenoid valve is shown connected to the cylinder to help readers understand the solenoid valve action. In the de energized condition, the plunger and the valve spool position as shown in figure 1.
  • 55. In this position of spool, port P is connected to port A and port B is connected to tank or exhaust (i.e. atmosphere) if air is used. Spring pressure (S) keeps the spool in this condition as long as the coil is de energized. Fluid pressure from port P through port A is applied to the left side of the cylinder piston. Thus the cylinder piston moves in the right direction. Now
  • 56. when the solenoid coil is energized, plunger is attracted and it pushes the spool against spring pressure. The new position of plunger and spool are shown in fig 2. In this position of spool, port A gets connected to tank and port P gets connected to port B. Thus pressure is applied to the cylinder piston from right and moves the piston rod to the left. At the same time fluid in the other side is drained out to the tank. When the solenoid coil is again de energized, the spring (S) will move the spool to its original position as shown in figure 1. Thus, normally when the solenoid coil is de energized the piston rod remains extended.

  • 63. We make this project entirely different from other projects. Since concepts involved in our project is entirely different that a single unit is used to various purposes, which is not developed by any of other team members. By doing this project we gained the knowledge of control system and how automation can be effectively done with microcontroller. It is concluded that any automation system can be done with the help of micro controller. We have successfully completed the project work on at our Institute. By doing this project work, we understood the working principle and uses of various controls, sensors, switches, relays etc. It will be of no doubt that microcontroller system will be an integrated part of any automation process in any industry. Once again we express our sincere thanks to our staff members.
