Week 8 (FYP 2)
Activity:
Refurbish Motor and Conveyor
Objective:
- To allow the conveyor to move smoothly
- To allow the motor to rotate properly
- To look neater on the conveyor
Content:
- Originally conveyors 1 and 2 did not move properly because the tension belts were already rusty.
- So I had to loosen the conveyor belt and remove the tension belt to be cleaned and the roller replaced.
- The roller on the tension belt is rubbed with lubricating oil to smooth the rotational movement.
- After cleaning the roller, it needs to be reinstalled as original.
- But I have adjusted the tension belt so that the conveyor is more tense and moves well especially the upper conveyor.
- For the motor, I was clean up the connection and the mount
Result:
- As a result, conveyors 1 and 2 can move well.
- Conveyor 2 which is downward conveyer is move faster than upper conveyor because the it have less tensioner roller than upper conveyor.
Conclusion:
Even though the upper conveyor is moving slowly, it can help the sensor to detect the metal plate better
